In the latest episode of BOAT Briefing, we examine whether there could soon be a mega-merger in the world of boat sales, and we also preview the big exclusive cover boat of the July issue, 112-metre Renaissance.

In our brokerage picks, we discuss the attraction of superyacht "upcycling", and our data this week concerns superyacht activity in South East Asia: when is a boom not a boom?
