Thank You for an Incredible Year Together

A Year-End Founders’ Letter

As 2025 comes to a close, we find ourselves filled with gratitude, pride, and tremendous excitement for what lies ahead. This year marked an important chapter in the continued evolution of 26 North Yachts—a chapter defined by growth, collaboration, and the deepening of the relationships that mean the most to us: the ones we share with you.

In 2025, we expanded our sales team with exceptional new talent and strengthened our closing and marketing divisions to better support your journey from the moment you step aboard to long after you reach your destination. We delivered three of our strongest boat show presentations to date in Palm Beach, Newport, and Fort Lauderdale—each one a testament to our team’s passion and dedication, and to the trust you place in us.

Internationally, we continued elevating our presence on the global stage, forging even closer partnerships with the world’s leading shipyards and OEMs at the Cannes and Monaco Yacht Shows. A milestone moment this year was announcing the new build of a 70m Hakvoort—a project that reflects our commitment to excellence and our belief in crafting world-class experiences for generations of owners to come.

Looking to 2026, our excitement is palpable. We will be hosting our first annual Owner’s Rendezvous in Key West—a celebration of adventure, camaraderie, and the community that has shaped who we are. This is just the beginning of many new client experiences we’ll be unveiling throughout the year.

Our charter division continues to surge forward as we welcome more luxury yachts into our management program. Demand for charter vacations remains incredibly strong, and our team is dedicated to creating seamless, unforgettable journeys for our guests across the globe.

But beyond the milestones, launches, shows, and accomplishments, we want to share something more personal.

This company was built on relationships—real ones. The kind forged on docks, around shipyard tables, and aboard the decks where families create memories that last a lifetime. Every conversation, every closing, every handshake matters to us. Your trust is not something we ever take lightly. It’s the foundation of everything we do.

To our owners, charter guests, and partners: thank you for choosing us, challenging us, and inspiring us. You’ve allowed our team to push boundaries, innovate fearlessly, and represent you with integrity and pride.

2026 will be a year of new adventures, new experiences, and new stories to share together. We can’t wait to welcome you into the next chapter.

With sincere appreciation and excitement,
Mike Carlson & Nicholas Scherb
Co-Founders, 26 North Yachts
