Record-Breaking Sales for ACY at 2025 Miami International Boat Show 

ACY Yachts Toast

Mar 25, 2025

ACY Yachts is thrilled to announce a highly successful 2025 Miami International Boat Show, marking a record year in sales and a major milestone for the company. ACY Yachts experienced double the number of orders typically seen at the event, with a particularly significant surge in sales of larger yachts. 
 
The 2025 Miami International Boat Show was a winning showcase of new yachts from both Fountaine Pajot and Dufour, underscoring the growing demand for high-end sailing yachts. In the week leading up to the show, ACY Yachts experienced an unprecedented volume of boat contracts signed, signalling a significant upswing in interest and a booming demand for new yachts.

The debut of the highly anticipated Dufour 41 and Dufour 44 was very well received, generating a strong positive response and inspiring confidence in the brand’s future. These models, showcasing advanced design and performance features, were a standout highlight for visitors.  
 
On the catamaran side, Fountaine Pajot solidified its position as an industry leader, with the Alegria 67 proving to be a popular model, with several units of the Flagship sold during the boat show. 

“I have personally attended this show for over 20 years and can attest this is the most successful Miami Boat Show Fountaine Pajot has ever had,” said Chris Bent, President of ACY Yachts, attributing the achievement to the ideal blend of product, team preparation, and company strategy. “The double-digit increase in sales and the strong demand for both new models and larger yachts truly reflects the growing confidence in the market. We are excited to continue our commitment to bringing innovative and high-quality yachts to our customers.” 
 
As ACY Yachts continues to grow and lead the industry in sales, we encourage potential yacht buyers to contact us to discuss availability for the next generation of catamarans and sailing yachts.
