Royal Yacht International launches AI-Powered superyacht brokerage platform, targets U.S. market growth amid tax incentive surge
Royal Yacht International (RYI), the Monaco-headquartered superyacht brokerage and management firm, has unveiled its proprietary AI-powered operating platform—a first-of-its-kind innovation in the global yachting industry. The launch marks a bold step in RYI’s strategic expansion across the United States, where new tax incentives and accelerated wealth creation are driving unprecedented demand for luxury vessels.
“Technology, politics, and lifestyle are converging in unprecedented ways. In America, fiscal incentives have empowered a new generation of entrepreneurs to view superyacht ownership not only as a lifestyle statement but as a smart, depreciable investment asset. Our AI-powered platform delivers the transparency, efficiency, and data intelligence they expect, mirroring their experiences in private banking and venture capital.”
Tommaso Chiabra,
Co-Founder and President of Royal Yacht International

A GROWING AMERICAN PRESENCE
Following record performance in 2024—including 20 superyacht sales totaling €1 billion—RYI is reinforcing its U.S. operations from its Miami headquarters, with additional U.S. locations under consideration for 2026.
The firm credits its American success in part to evolving tax policies that favor capital depreciation for high-value assets like yachts, creating a unique investment dynamic for ultra-high-net-worth clients.
“We’re not simply digitizing the old model,” adds Tommaso Chiabra. “We’re building an entirely new one—where data and AI are the engine, and human expertise remains at the helm.”
AT THE INTERSECTION OF INNOVATION AND LIFESTYLE
Global investment in artificial intelligence has surged over 80% in the past two years—from $150 billion in 2023 to more than $270 billion in 2025. RYI stands at the forefront of this movement, pioneering the fusion of cutting-edge data science and bespoke luxury service.
With flagship sales such as M/Y ANNA, M/Y MONEIKOS, M/Y SEANNA, M/Y FANTASEA and M/Y ARTISAN, and a portfolio of collaborations with shipyards like Benetti, Baglietto, and Overmarine, Royal Yacht International continues to redefine what modern yacht ownership looks like.
