Burgess has confirmed the sale of the 44m Sanlorenzo Alloy ANNABELLA, describing it as its Asia team's fifth yacht sale of 2026.
Burgess has confirmed the sale of ANNABELLA, a 44-metre Sanlorenzo Alloy superyacht delivered in 2021. The brokerage's October 2026 announcement says its Asia team handled the transaction and describes the result as that team's fifth yacht sale of the year.
ANNABELLA is an existing vessel rather than a new model or shipyard project. The reported development is a completed brokerage sale, and Burgess has not disclosed the contract price or identity of the new owner in its public statement.
Burgess has announced the completion of the sale, giving its regional team another transaction in the market for large privately owned motor yachts. Senior broker Mark Woodmansey represented the transaction according to the company's account.
A completed sale differs from the initial appointment of a broker or a price revision, both of which can happen without a buyer being secured. Unless the firm supplies a sale figure, the final transaction value should not be assumed to match earlier marketing prices.
The 44-metre yacht belongs to Sanlorenzo's Alloy range, a family known for combining contemporary exterior architecture with tailored accommodation. ANNABELLA's 2021 build year makes her a relatively recent example of the series.
Prospective buyers assessing yachts of this age would still review the particulars of any modifications and equipment use since delivery. A model designation alone does not establish the exact specification, condition or layout of an individual vessel.
Burgess identifies the work of interior designer Liaigre in connection with ANNABELLA. Luxury interiors can contribute strongly to the appeal of an existing yacht when the design remains coherent with the vessel's scale and intended use.
The practical value of an interior also depends on the maintenance of materials, accessibility of systems and separation between guest and service areas. Photography and designer credits cannot substitute for the technical information available during a real inspection.
The firm presents the sale as part of its continuing activity in the Asian superyacht market. Burgess reports that its regional team has handled dozens of yacht transactions over the past decade, providing context for the latest result.
Such company-reported volumes are useful as background but are not independently audited measures of the entire regional market. Completed sales figures for a single brokerage cannot alone demonstrate a broad rise or fall in demand.
Large yachts with connections to Asian owners may cruise internationally, use Mediterranean yards for refit or maintenance and retain management contacts across several jurisdictions. A broker with cross-border experience can coordinate documents and contacts during a change of ownership.
Every transaction still requires a vessel-specific assessment of flag, classification, taxes, registration and delivery arrangements. General regional commentary does not establish where an individual owner will eventually keep or operate the yacht.
A superyacht sale normally involves documentary checks and technical inspection in addition to commercial negotiations. Buyers may request evidence concerning title, service history, survey status, insurance and the condition of major equipment.
Those processes are private to the contracting parties, and the public sale announcement does not identify every condition agreed between them. The completion should be reported without inventing survey outcomes, payment terms or warranties.
The sale of one established Sanlorenzo is evidence of that individual transaction, not proof that all yachts in the 40–50-metre segment are selling quickly. Pricing and marketing periods can vary sharply according to condition, location, specification and owner requirements.
Market commentary should distinguish advertised asking prices from recorded completions. Where the actual consideration remains private, publishing an estimated sum as if it were the contract value would be misleading.
Burgess has confirmed that ANNABELLA has been sold and has identified the vessel and its sales-team involvement. The company's statement does not provide a new owner's name or publish a verified final price.
The appropriate next update would concern an authorised disclosure about the transaction or a subsequent public change in the yacht's status. For the moment, the verified news is the completion of ANNABELLA's sale.
