    Cryptocurrencies have become even more present in the yachting world, with a number of leading brokerage houses accepting these types of payments to buy and charter yachts. While the uptake has been gradual, the recent surge highlights that this hesitancy hasn’t come from resistance.[​IMG]Photo: imagINEven amidst the great crypto crash, many brokerage firms are adding these payment types to their portfolios – this trend highlights an expectation that crypto will bounce back. The most recent being the Monaco-based Yachtzoo, which, like many others, has partnered up with the global bitcoin service provider BitPay. BitPay enables instantaneous borderless payments with many leading cryptocoins. The blockchain payment processing that it employs is said to “eliminate transaction fraud”.

    Darrell Hall, Founding Partner of Yachtzoo, spoke out about this partnership: “As a leading yacht brokerage, we are always looking at innovative solutions to enhance our customers’ experience. Our job as a luxury yacht brokerage is to make chartering, selling, or acquiring a yacht as flawless as possible. Our partnership with BitPay is another way we make it as easy as possible for our customers.”

    Camper & Nicholsons, a brokerage house synonymous with tradition, made the plunge early last month. The move is a strategic one for the 240-year-old company, as it’s looking to attract new clientele by tapping into the “massive crypto marketplace”.[​IMG]Photo: imagIN“Camper & Nicholsons realises the potential for crypto to transform the yachting industry, making payments faster, more secure, and less expensive on a global scale,” said Merrick Theobald, Vice President of Marketing at BitPay. “With the total market cap of crypto approaching $2 trillion, Camper & Nicholsons is also now well-positioned to take advantage of this wealth by helping those crypto holders who are looking to purchase luxury items like yacht sales and yacht charters.”
