While chartering a luxury superyacht is an incredible experience, have you ever considered owning your own yacht?
There are so many advantages and perks of superyacht ownership. Whether you embark on a new-build project or delve into what is already available on the market, from motor to sail, there are many benefits to purchasing and owning such an asset.
As a prospective owner, you may be considering whether or not the initial financial outlay is worth it, but here are some of the benefits that outweigh this, making it one of the best worthwhile investments:
Owning a superyacht provides you with a private, luxury floating home that can take you anywhere in the world. It can open up otherwise hard-to-access destinations and get you away from the tourist track, enjoying unmatched privacy and exclusivity onboard.
As soon as you step onboard, you can enjoy luxury amenities and facilities surpassing even the best five-star hotels, and what’s more, you can be anywhere you want to. Whether you choose to use the yacht as a wellness sanctuary to escape the hustle of daily life, host incredible parties, tick off worldwide bucket list adventures, or a combination of all - anything is possible.
With your own yacht, you have the ultimate freedom and flexibility in where you want to go and what you want to do. There are limitless options, free from rigid schedules and itineraries; you can choose whatever dates work best for you and your guests.
As an owner, you have total control over the yacht, allowing for spontaneity and for you to take full advantage of its benefits. When it comes to where to keep it, you can opt to keep the yacht in a home berth or rotate it between different destinations, depending on your locations, and to take advantage of seasonal worldwide opportunities. This versatility of ownership enables you to access your favorite destinations or explore new ones.
One huge benefit to ownership is the vast opportunities for personalization and customization. The type of yacht you choose is also crucial; discussing your needs with one of our yacht sales consultants will help you determine which type of yacht will be best for you. From sailing boats and motor yachts to pre-owned and brand-new models from a range of shipyards, we have a wide selection available to purchase.
Whether you buy a new build or refit an existing yacht, you can customize every detail of the exterior and interior to match your exact preferences. From the artwork and furniture to the entertainment systems and watersports inventory, your superyacht can mirror your personal style and interests no matter what that is. A yacht is your space to create a home away from home and a dedicated area to spending time with loved ones, so it is important you get it exactly how you want.
Superyachts unlock incredible and exclusive experiences worldwide, giving you easy access to activities that would otherwise be difficult to reach. Whether you want to explore the pristine islands of Indonesia, the fjords of Norway, or the glamourous hubs of the Mediterranean, a superyacht helps you reach various destinations.
And, if you purchase an explorer yacht, there is nowhere you cannot visit; with ice-classed yachts, you can cruise even uncharted waters. Back onboard, a yacht is the ideal base to host lavish events, parties, and corporate retreats, taking advantage of your yacht’s amenities. From the state-of-the-art entertainment system and DJ booths to the well-stocked bars and expert chefs onboard, hosting parties in exclusive locations will never be the same again.
It is widely known that spending time on the ocean has therapeutic benefits and provides a tranquil escape. So, when purchasing, you can opt for a yacht with impressive health and wellness facilities or include them in any new-build specification. Onboard, these luxury amenities allow you to prioritize health and well-being while enjoying the comforts of your own space.
Wellness features can include plunge pools, health clinics, saunas, treatment and massage rooms, fully equipped gyms, underwater observatories, meditation lounges, and various sporting courts such as basketball and Padel. Taking this further, you can employ a chef specializing in high-end nutrition catering to health-conscious diets. Beyond wellness features, owning a superyacht provides the perfect space to nurture close family and friend relationships, helping create lasting memories through shared experiences.
While the cost of purchasing and ongoing maintenance are significant, yacht ownership can also present investment opportunities. The yacht serves as a perfect tool for networking and relationship building, resulting in opportunities to benefit from corporate investments.
Some operating costs may also be partially offset by yacht charter opportunities, contributing to the overall financial viability of ownership.
Whether you have a certain specialized crew onboard, such as a helicopter pilot, yoga instructor or Michelin-starred chef, all of the crew will work to provide you and your guests with seamless seven-star service. Owning a yacht allows you to develop closer relationships with this dedicated crew.
The more you use your yacht, the more you will get to know the crew, allowing for a consistent and heightened personalized onboard experience where the crew anticipates your needs and preferences even more.
If you are considering a new-build project, there are huge opportunities to drive positive change. The yachting industry is one of increasing technology and innovation, especially when it comes to finding alternative fuels and greener solutions to the build and operation of superyachts.
As a new, prospective owner, you have the unique opportunity to invest in these new and greener technologies, which will benefit the overall industry in the longer term.
Owning a superyacht opens up a whole host of exciting opportunities. Whether a newly launched or well-maintained pre-owned yacht, each provides any owner the ultimate experience and key to the yachting lifestyle, from a new build project to a refit.
