Ahoy Club's Ian Malouf Lists His Whole Fleet for EUR 150m

What exactly did Ian Malouf put up for sale?

Malouf listed all four yachts owned through his brokerage, Ahoy Club, simultaneously: the 73-metre Coral Ocean at EUR 99 million, the 54-metre Mischief at EUR 19,990,000, the 35-metre Rascal at EUR 6,590,000 and the 30-metre Chaos at EUR 2,990,000, a combined EUR 150 million.

SuperYacht Times reported the listing on 17 September 2026, quoting Ahoy Club as the exclusive selling agent on all four yachts. Coral Ocean, a 1,526 GT Lurssen originally delivered in 1994 as Coral Island to a design by Jon Bannenberg, underwent a EUR 35 million hull-to-helm rebuild completed in 2022 and a further refit in 2026 covering her 30-year survey and new stabilisers. Mischief is a 54-metre Baglietto delivered in 2006 that completed a USD 15 million refit in Australia in 2024. Rascal, a 35-metre, and Chaos, a 30-metre, are both Sunseeker-built and are based in Australia alongside Mischief, while Coral Ocean is currently in the Mediterranean ahead of the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show.

Ian Malouf told SuperYacht Times the fleet is not a wind-down of his ownership: "There's two reasons. One, they're all in excellent condition, having completed comprehensive refits and exceptional maintenance, meaning they're in the prime of their existence. But the other reason is we're going to be looking at something a little bit larger with the possibility to do world tours." Ahoy Club CEO Ellie Malouf, Ian's daughter, is acting as central agent across all four yachts and said the timing reflects the fleet's post-refit condition rather than a sale under pressure: "With all four recently having had major investment at once, it made sense to bring them to market together."

How does owning the brokerage change what a buyer gets?

A buyer dealing with Ahoy Club on any of these four yachts is dealing with the actual owner and operator, not a third-party broker relaying information, because Ahoy Club managed, crewed and in two cases physically rebuilt the boats itself.

Ellie Malouf described the arrangement directly: "It's a big moment for us, presenting four yachts we know better than anyone because we've lived on them, refitted them and managed them ourselves. That first-hand knowledge is something buyers get with this portfolio that they wouldn't get anywhere else." Ian Malouf said the same in-house capability shaped how Mischief's refit was run: "We stripped her back to bare metal, ceilings, floors, walls, and rebuilt it, making more room. That is one incredible refit." He described the Mischief project as built on lessons from the earlier Coral Ocean rebuild: "It's like Coral, it's Coral standard. Obviously all the learning and stuff, but everything from air conditioning, paint, again, inside the boat. But then all the stuff you don't see."

That in-house refit and management expertise, developed first on Malouf's own boats, has since expanded into paid work for third-party owners, adding refit and yacht management to Ahoy Club's original charter and brokerage business. "We're carrying the stock. We own it," Malouf said of the four listings, a distinction from a conventional brokerage that lists yachts on behalf of other owners and typically has not lived aboard or managed them day to day. Mischief's refit was subsequently nominated in the Refitted Yachts, 500 GT and above category at the 2025 World Superyacht Awards. Ahoy Club's charter and sales fleets have both grown in parallel under Ellie Malouf's tenure as CEO, so the four-yacht sale is happening from a business that is expanding its third-party activity rather than one retreating to fewer boats after a hard year.

Why is Coral Ocean going to Monaco rather than selling quietly?

Coral Ocean will make her first sales appearance at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show, berthed at R01, because it is the first time she has been offered for sale since her 2022 rebuild and Ahoy Club wants buyers to see the completed work in person rather than judge it from listing photographs alone.

Ellie Malouf called the Monaco appearance central to the sale: "We're also really excited to have Coral Ocean at the Monaco Yacht Show this year. She gives our existing and new clients a relaxed home base throughout the show, while our team plans and coordinates their yacht viewings and assists with any management, refit or other yachting requirements." The yacht carries a six-metre opening shell door in the main saloon, a glass-bottom spa pool on the rebuilt sundeck, a dedicated treatment room, an infrared sauna and a gym, accommodating 12 guests across six staterooms on a 13-metre beam. She has a stated range of 8,000 nautical miles at a 12-knot cruise.

Showing a freshly rebuilt yacht in person, rather than relying on photography, matters more for a vessel like Coral Ocean than for a newer build: she is a 1994 hull, and a buyer's main question is not what the brochure claims but how thoroughly a 32-year-old structure was actually brought up to current standard. A berth at R01 during the show, with Ahoy Club running viewings throughout, is Malouf betting that letting buyers walk the rebuild in person answers that question faster than a data room does.

How long does a sale like this actually take?

Yachts over 50 metres took a median of around 565 days to sell in the current market, according to Ocean Independence, so Coral Ocean at 73 metres is more likely headed for a multi-boat-show campaign than a quick single-event sale, whatever Malouf's Monaco unveiling suggests.

Ocean Independence's 2026 market data puts the median time to sell a yacht of 30 metres or more at approximately 460 days, or about 15 months, with the figure rising by size band: 30 to 40 metres averages around 480 days, 40 to 50 metres around 400 days, and 50 metres and above around 565 days. Only 8 percent of yachts sell within 90 days, and roughly 27 percent remain on the market for more than two years. A yacht that goes through even one price reduction typically extends past 600 days, and past 900 days after a fourth. None of that is specific to Ahoy Club's fleet, but it is the backdrop against which a EUR 99 million asking price on a 73-metre yacht has to be read.

Rascal and Chaos, at 35 and 30 metres, sit closer to the faster-moving 30-to-40-metre band, which still runs a median near 480 days rather than weeks. Mischief at 54 metres falls into the slower 50-metre-plus band alongside Coral Ocean. Malouf's framing, that the fleet is being sold from a position of strength rather than urgency, is consistent with a seller prepared for a campaign measured in seasons rather than one banking on a fast result at a single show, and Monaco functions as the opening move in that longer process rather than the likely closing one.
