Global superyacht services provider Camper & Nicholsons has confirmed the sale of an initial 80 per cent stake by Hong Kong-based investment holding company Lai Sun Development in a deal valuing the company at approximately €50 million.
According to reports, the agreement was signed on 28 May 2026 with Wave Expandary Limited acquiring the majority interest for an estimated €40 million. The transaction also includes an option for the remaining stake to be purchased in the future at the request of either party.
The deal reportedly values Camper & Nicholsons at around 12 times its projected 2025 EBITDA, reflecting strong confidence in the company’s global position within the superyacht sector.
Camper & Nicholsons CEO Paolo Casani welcomed the investment, describing it as an important milestone for the company’s continued growth and development.
“The transaction reflects strong confidence in the brand, its global platform and the expertise of its team,” said Casani. “Working alongside our existing shareholders, Lai Sun Group, we look forward to this next chapter and to continuing to build on our strong foundations.”
The company confirmed that operations will continue without disruption, maintaining continuity across its leadership structure and full range of yachting services.
The investment is expected to support Camper & Nicholsons’ long-term strategic growth, strengthening its capabilities and reinforcing its position as one of the world’s leading luxury yachting businesses.
