The Yacht That Reminded David Why People Buy Superyachts

David and Katia discuss the recent filming of TITIAN PEARL, the beautifully refitted 43-metre CRN superyacht currently for sale on the French Riviera. This episode is a little different because the story begins before the cameras even started rolling. David had been invited to spend the weekend on board by the owner, someone who has become a close personal friend over many years in the industry. Arriving on Friday evening, it proved to be exactly the break he needed, offering a reminder of something he has often said: everything is simply better on a yacht. The conversation explores how spending time on board as a guest completely changed David's perspective before filming the walkthrough. Rather than arriving to work, he experienced the yacht as an owner or charter guest would, making it much easier to understand why great yachts create such lasting memories. David also explains why TITIAN PEARL holds a special place in his own career. Originally launched as Magnifica, she was one of the first steel and aluminium superyachts delivered during his time working in the sales office at CRN, making this a particularly meaningful reunion more than two decades later. Katia and David also discuss the challenges of translating an emotional experience into a walkthrough video, why thoughtful interior design can completely transform the atmosphere on board, and how details from the recent refit left such a lasting impression. The episode also touches on the owner behind TITIAN PEARL, the importance of proper maintenance, and why buyers can have confidence in yachts where owners consistently invest in their upkeep rather than simply reacting when something goes wrong.
