Can frozen yachts be thawed? - SuperyachtNews

2 months ago | superyachtnews.com | Conor Feasey

By Conor Feasey Frozen assets have become a real issue in yachting over the past few years. High-proﬁle seizures have made headlines and millions have been spent out of the public purse maintaining vessels that can’t move, let alone be sold, and not necessarily for lack of trying.

What’s next for Amadea? - SuperyachtNews

Mar 25, 2025 | superyachtnews.com | Conor Feasey

By Conor Feasey The USA vs Amadea is a courtroom drama of gargantuan proportions. Without the sinister violence, it’s turning out to be the superyacht industry’s The People vs O. J. Simpson, just swapping the white Bronco on the freeway for a shiny hull in Fiji. The legal battle is drenched in power, money and political grandstanding, and what happens next will likely have a seismic effect on our industry and global political discourse.
