Burgess and Fraser Confirm Exploratory Merger Discussions

Burgess and Fraser have jointly confirmed exploratory discussions regarding a potential merger, in a joint statement issued from Monaco and London. No transaction has been agreed and either party may withdraw.

A combined entity would represent an estimated 22% of the global superyacht sales market above 40 metres, alongside a charter fleet exceeding 180 vessels.

Industry regulators would likely require undertakings on client-fund segregation and central-agency exclusivity to approve any transaction.
