Summary
Anthony Marlon has put Hemisphere on the market for 38.5 million euros, ending a 15-year stretch in which Capt. Gavin Bladen has lived aboard the luxury sailing catamaran.
A June showing off the French Riviera underscored the sales pitch: Bladen walked a Monaco broker through the five-cabin yacht’s teak decks, ostrich-leather walls, African walnut flooring and air-conditioned outdoor dining area.
Simon Ting, the broker touring for a specific client, appeared unimpressed, pointing to newer superyachts with underwater-level windows and other high-end features Hemisphere lacks.
That reaction highlights the challenge of selling one of the world’s largest sailing yachts in a market where buyers increasingly expect ever newer, more extravagant amenities.
