Some insiders and probably most of the outsiders still consider boat building a hobby or a pure-passion venture. Although it is still like that for some boat builders, (and we are grateful for high quality unique vessels that often catch our eyes in the most unexpected bays) it isn’t anymore for those who are eyed or acquired by private equity funds and certainly it is not like that for those who are targeted by sovereign funds. Traditionally, sovereign funds operate on regulated markets such as the one for energy, commodities. In other cases at least a strategic investment approach which grants their[sovereign funds] country of origin some extra weight on the international political arena.
A few of years ago it was the turn of a minority stake of an Italian private aircraft manufacturer, then a very famous sports car manufacturer (F) and now these funds are looking at yacht builders. Specifically, a 625 billion-fund, namely Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, should be interested in some ’shopping’ among Italian well known Yacht builders.
