A Monaco Yacht Show Series Original: Darrell Hall

Q&A with Darrell Hall of Monaco-based YACHTZOO, and all you need to know about berths and charters

ML: Tell us about your background in the industry.

DH: I have worked in yachting for 32 years, having started as a deckhand in 1984 and working my way up to being a captain on board both sailing yachts and motor yachts. My time working on yachts has helped me to better understand how yacht owners like to use their vessels, and it gives me practical and technical knowledge of yacht operations.

ML: You co-founded YACHTZOO nearly a decade ago. What exactly is a luxury yacht brokerage company? DH: YACHTZOO was set up in 2007 by my three partners and me, all very experienced yacht and charter brokers. We share a philosophy of providing clients with the very best service possible, whether they are chartering or looking to build a completely custom yacht. YACHTZOO has offices in the world’s biggest and most important superyacht hubs, in Monaco and Fort Lauderdale. We now employ 22 staff – including 17 in Monaco – and provide a full range of services, including yacht sales and purchase, new construction, charter retail and management, yacht management, and purchase and sales of yacht berths.

ML: What advantages does having your head office in Monaco give YACHTZOO over global yacht companies with an office in Monaco?

72m Giorgio Armani-designed Admiral superyacht Project Metamorphosis resold

Leading yacht brokerage firm IYC has announced the successful resale of hull one in Admiral' s 72-metre Giorgio Armani-designed superyacht series, known as Project Metamorphosis. Built by The Italian Sea Group (TISG) under its Admiral brand, the yacht's original 2024 delivery year has now been pushed back to April 2025 to account for "additional upgrades" by her new owner.

IYC's global managing partner Michel Chryssicopoulos represented the seller, having initially sold the yacht in 2020, while Darrell Hall of Yachtzoo brought the buyer. 

The 2,000GT yacht will have both interior and exterior design from the drawing boards of Giorgio Armani, and will feature an ice-class hull, 6,000 nautical mile range and a main deck with a six-cabin layout.

Project Metamorphosis will also feature a 180-square-metre owner's deck. Speaking previously about the project, Chryssicopoulos said the yacht would "reinvent traditional yacht design" and "redefine the boundaries of innovation, space and design in yachting".

A representative from IYC extended thanks to Arrow Monaco, Giannis Markogiannis Law and Hill Dickinson Monaco and added that the second hull in the series remains on schedule for delivery in the second quarter of 2025.

The superyacht was initially announced as part of a gala dinner at TISG's Marina di Carrara facilities in February 2023. The reason for the resale was not disclosed, but IYC noted that the in-build yacht was asking €105,000,000 at the time of sale.
