Among the superyachts set to turn heads at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026, Mystique stands out for one defining feature: speed. Originally named Detroit Eagle, the 46.63-metre motor yacht was delivered by Feadship in 2001, with a brief centred on three priorities: high performance, transatlantic capability and access to shallow anchorages. Bringing these requirements together demanded a distinctive engineering approach, one that continues to set Mystique apart more than two decades later as she enters the sales market with yacht brokerage IYC.

The 29.2-metre motor yacht Katarina Xo has sold in a deal with Filip Jerolimov of IYC representing the seller and Charlo Briffa of Yacht Hub Group introducing the buyer. Delivered by the Italian shipyard Ferretti Yachts in 2017, the GRP yacht belongs to the Ferretti 960 series and received her most recent refit in 2022 and 2023.

When a charter guest sits down to a beautifully prepared meal aboard a superyacht, the journey behind the plate is probably the last thing on their mind. But before a superyacht chef can put the finishing touches on a dish, its ingredients may have travelled through a global network of small producers, provisioning agents and logistics providers.
IYC arrives at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show at an interesting point for both the wider brokerage market and the company itself. With the show providing one of the industry’s clearest opportunities to take the temperature of the superyacht sector, Raphael Sauleau, CEO of IYC, discusses what he is hearing from clients, where demand is moving and the conversations shaping the market as the industry heads into the final months of 2026.
A newly formed division of a private-equity company has acquired the majority stake of IYC. Peninsula Yachting may be new to the superyacht market, but its parent company has roots in maritime. Additionally, similar to previous practice, it intends to invest in business expansion, allowing IYC to reach new markets.
Brokerage and management group IYC has received significant investment from Peninsula Yachting, a newly formed investment vehicle from Peninsula Capital.
