SPEAK TO A SALES PROFESSIONAL

The 2021 New Yacht Buyer's Guide

It doesn't quite seem real, but 2020 is almost over. SI Yachts and the boating industry as a whole saw unprecedented sales as families looked for a way to relax safely and close to home. Boating was the perfect solution and over 31% of new boat sales were to first time buyers! Fueled by strong innovative design, our premium new boat brands led the way with new models for cruising, fishing, and day boating. Here are just a few of the highlights from this last year:

• SI Yachts was awarded the #1 Princess Dealer for 2020.
• SI Yachts Sales Professional David Hallinan was awarded the #1 Sales Professional for Princess Yachts.
• The new Viking 54 Convertible won Best In Show at the recent Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show.
• The new Absolute Navetta 64 won for Best Innovation at the World Yachts Trophies.
• The Best Layout Award went to the new Prestige X70 at the World Yachts Trophies as well.

As we turn towards the 2021-2022 model year, it has become more important to act quickly with ordering the boat you want due to the strong summer sales leaving nationwide inventory at its lowest point in years.

New Models Listed In Order By Length (Ascending)

Princess X95 (Premiering At The Princess Experience!)

Princess has created an incredible level of excitement around the 2021 North American premiere of the all-new X95 Super Flybridge. It's appropriately named the X95 Super Flybridge because its flybridge and main deck level nearly cover the entire length of the yacht. This has allowed Princess to spaciously integrate all of the amenities you would find on a superyacht. Your guests will enjoy four luxurious staterooms, each with an en suite head, as well as a nearly full-beam VIP suite. The master stateroom is midship and is extraordinarily large for comfortable long-distance cruising.

Princess X80

As the second member of the X-Class model range, the new Princess X80 follows the same intriguing exterior lines as its larger sibling. The Super Flybridge concept is apparent as the bridge and main deck are nearly the length of the entire yacht and contribute 30% more space for relaxation that your typical 80' yacht. Durable and versatile in its long-range cruising capabilities, the interior is truly where the X80 shines. The over-sized, picture windows run the length of the boat and allow for extraordinary views from its raised main deck. The 4 en-suite cabins, that include a full-beam master, will surely leave everyone ready for tomorrow's adventures.

• Prestige X70

As construction capabilities continue to advance in the yachting industry, builders are packing more space and volume into every area of the boat. The new Prestige X70 is no exception and utilizes a new design to offer a larger salon and lower deck accommodations. New on the X70 is the addition of a staircase leading from the bridge to the bow, as well as an addition staircase leading to the aft cockpit. The side-decks have essentially been moved to the flybridge, which allows the interior walls to be expanded and increased space. The X70 also just won the award for "Best Layout" at the 2020 World Yacht Trophies. 

Prestige 690 Flybridge or S-Class

Making its debut in early 2021, the new Prestige 690 Flybridge will debut alongside the new X70 and its sibling, the 690S (for Sportfly). Characterized by its large outdoor dining and socializing areas on the flybridge, expect the traditional Prestige features like picture windows. Created by Garroni Design, the fit-and-finish is stunning and every space on board is a piece of your home at sea. Offered in both flybridge and sportfly versions.

Absolute Navetta 64

Sometimes a model comes along in a range that simply outperforms everything that has come before it. Such is the case with the new Absolute Navetta 64 , dubbed the 'Pathfinder' for its luxury cruising abilities. The new Beach Club offers an innovative option for ensuring your guests' comfort while on board. In place of the normal transom garage, Absolute has created a VIP suite that is easily converted from an on-water cabana during the day to a full stateroom at night with queen-sized berth. There is also an en suite head, galley, storage, and a lovely terrace that can be shaded with a canopy. We anticipate the Navetta 64 to be an iconic model for Absolute and has already won "Best Innovation" from the World Yachts Trophies.

Viking 54 Convertible

The new Viking 54C is the battle-wagon of offshore fishing tournament champions, built by the most prolific sportfish manufacturer in the world. Viking has once again dominated the under 60-foot sportfish category with a stunning re-make of one of its most popular models. With the 154 square-foot cockpit, in-deck seakeeper, massive fishboxes, huge livewells, incredible flybridge helm station, and its 40+ knot top speed, the 54C will create an excessive amount of boat envy at your next tournament. Only the finest materials, cutting edge construction processes, and top quality equipment are used by Viking who refuse to ever cut any corners. The new 54 Convertible is a tool of champions, fitting of its reputation. If fishing is something that interests you, you can take a look at an interesting article on the best lures for trout fishing .

Valhalla Boatworks V-46

After an incredible start with the launch of Valhalla Boatworks , the Viking team has expanded again with the all-new Valhalla V46 . The characteristics of the V46 are simple really - exceptional planing, top end speed, unmatched maneuverability in its class, versatile seating arrangements, and a fully-functional cabin. The fuel capacity is nearly 700 gallons making longer trips to the fishing grounds accessible and longer cruising trips possible. In true Viking fashion, all electronics, components, equipment, and materials are all top shelf. Look for the new V46 to premiere in early 2021.

Prestige Yachts 420S

Thew new Prestige 420S is the sporty express cruiser that you've been waiting on. Fast, agile, fun, and comfortable for extended trips, the 420S is the very best Prestige has to offer under 45 feet. The bow sun lounging area is perfect for a couple to melt away the stress while relaxing in the sun. enjoy a cocktail at dusk from the aft cockpit. Move to the formal dining area to enjoy a meal under the stars with the hardtop sunroof open. The 420S is the perfect day boat or overnighter thanks to a gorgeous master suite and plush VIP cabin. Also available as the 420 Flybridge version.

Eight Great Boats Under $30,000

• By Boating Tech Team
• March 30, 2023

It’s a refrain we hear all the time in our travels: New boats have gotten so expensive that they’re no longer accessible to most people. To that, we offer the following rejoinder: There are plenty of great boats out there that will get you on the water at a reasonable cost if you know where to look. The following eight boats provide solid evidence that there’s a new boat out there for you, no matter your budget.

Bayliner Element M15

Bayliner was on the forefront of building affordable boats for first-time buyers a few years back when it introduced the first Element E16. These boats are designed to bring families onto the water for an entertaining day of boating with little to no hassle and expense. The M15 continues that concept with another solid winner in the affordable new-boat market.

The fiberglass M15 has a deep cockpit and a bow lounge with high freeboard to keep the crew secure underway. Bayliner placed the helm aft along the starboard side, so the driver sits on the transom bench. Doing this allowed for a larger bow lounge for the crew to socialize. All told, the M15 can handle a crew of five. While it’s not going to set any speed records (we hit 31.3 mph with the 50 hp Mercury outboard), the M hull is designed to be a stable and predictable platform that doesn’t lean to one side or the other depending on weight distribution.

Veer is a roto-molded craft -specifically targeted at first-time boat buyers, with the aim of being affordable and easy to maintain and operate. It’s ideally suited to pair with Mercury’s Avator 7.5e electric outboard , or you can order it with a tiller-steered 9.9 hp Mercury gasoline FourStroke. The gas outboard comes with a 3-gallon fuel tank, and the electric outboard is powered by a 1 kW battery. Both choices are economical and lightweight, giving the boat a shallow 6.3-inch draft, so you can sneak into the skinniest water. The roto-molded plastic body is easy to maintain and can survive rookie mistakes around the docks or boat ramp without needing a fiberglass repair kit.

The X13 features an aft two-seat bench and a shallow cockpit with a SportTrak mounting system to add accessories to your liking. The bow serves as a forward casting deck or observation platform when you’re not under power. A removable standing bar provides a handhold while standing or transiting from stern to bow.

The X13 comes standard with a galvanized trailer. The combined boat, trailer and engine weight measures 835 pounds, so you don’t need a big rig to tow it. It’s a great choice to get started on the water.

Starcraft Renegade 168 SC

Here you can buy a fully functional aluminum-hulled multi-species boat to chase after bass, walleye or whatever floats your boat. The boat has twin bucket seats—one at the starboard helm station protected by a windshield on the console, and one for the co-angler on the port side. A third seat mounts just aft of the portside seat, so you can bring along another friend.

The boat features fore and aft casting decks with pedestal seat mounts, a bow mount for an electric trolling motor , a rod storage locker, and a livewell in the transom casting deck. The gunwale topsides have a tracking groove system so you can mount accessories and customize your rig with extra rod holders, downriggers or other amenities. Set it up how you like to create your own lean, mean fishing machine.

There’s no haggling when you buy this 16-foot-5-inch runabout from Tahoe Marine. Its nationally advertised price includes a custom trailer, a 60 hp outboard motor, a Bimini top, and a TurboSwing on the transom. The TurboSwing is an expensive option on most boats but standard on this one. It balances the load as the skier cuts back and forth, giving the passengers a much better ride and a more fun one for the rider. The seating inside is spacious, with seats that convert forward to aft-facing at the bow, and a swim platform for getting on your skis or reboarding with the ladder. The dashboard includes a sporty three-spoke wheel and a 7-inch digital display for reporting engine functions like temperature, water pressure and voltage, and operating the Kicker KMC1 stereo. It also reports water depth and boatspeed. An optional 75 hp outboard motor is available for $24,595, and we think you might appreciate that extra oomph for watersports. The T16 is sporty-looking and available in six different color schemes, with stainless-steel hardware and durable hinges on the deck hatch.

Sea-Doo Switch 13 Sport

The smallest version of our 2022 Boat of the Year , the 13 Sport offers the same handle-bar-style controls. Punch the trigger throttle as you crank into a turn, and it displays much of a PWC’s excitement and quick-reflex maneuverability. Approach a dock or launch ramp, and Sea-Doo’s Intelligent Brake and -Reverse (iBR) system provides intuitive, low-speed maneuverability and control not found on pontoons. You can load this boat on a trailer or place it into its slip with precision and ease. 

The trademark feature of the Sea-Doo Switch is the reconfigurable floor plan. Nearly all seating and components can release from the deck in Lego-like fashion and reposition elsewhere around the boat in seconds. This approach allows the owner to change the boat’s focus, going for social-cruise seating one day or a cleared-out fishing floor plan the next. A variety of accessories, like coolers and storage caddies, can attach with ease. With the 170 hp Rotax engine, the boat is capable of hitting 38.7 mph.

Tracker Classic XL

When Tracker Marine introduced the first Tracker Classic bass boat in the late ’70s, it was a revolutionary concept. Before Tracker, boaters had to buy a boat, buy a matching motor, buy a matching trailer, buy a matching trolling motor, and get all of that assembled by a dealer. They even had to mount and install their own sonar. But Johnny Morris, who co-founded Tracker Marine, believed this should all be done before the boat owner ever walks into the showroom. That’s why the Tracker Classic was the first ready-to-fish bass boat on the marketplace. And Morris did it at a bargain price. Today he’s introduced the new Tracker Classic XL, a 16-foot-8-inch bass boat with a 50 hp Mercury ELT outboard, an electric trolling motor, and a custom matching trailer all rigged up and ready to hitch to your truck or car and go to the water and fish. The 50 hp Mercury ELT outboard motor maxes out the horsepower and, in our opinion, is the optimal amount for this fun little boat. The Tracker Classic XL comes with a lifetime hull warranty. It features bucket folding seats, swivel pedestal seats, livewells, tackle storage, a rod locker, and easy access to all the plumbing and pumps on board through hatches. There’s also an aft casting deck and a sonar chart plotter at the helm. It’s as big a bargain today as it was 50 years ago.

The largest yachts owned by tech billionaires, from Mark Zuckerberg to Jeff Bezos

• Megayachts have become a status symbol for the richest of the rich.
• In recent years, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg have splurged on enormous boats.
• These are the biggest yachts owned by tech billionaires.

The average Joe celebrating a personal renaissance after, say, the end of a long-term relationship or when approaching a fresh decade might commemorate it with an ankle tattoo or a sports car. But if you're a billionaire, you may instead spend hundreds of millions on a yacht .

A few years after he and his wife divorced, Jeff Bezos shelled out on a megayacht. Last year, Bezos debuted the 127-meter vessel "Koru," a Māori symbol that signifies a fresh start — perhaps referring to that with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez.

Earlier this year, just before his 40th birthday, Mark Zuckerberg became the rumored owner of a yacht originally built for a Russian oligarch.

Superyachts have increasingly become ultrawealthy status symbols , providing highly secluded leisure and networking sites. They are — even more so than real estate — the single most expensive asset you can own.

"It's a bit of a celebration of your success in life, of wealth," Giovanna Vitelli, the chair of the Azimut Benetti Group, the world's biggest producer of superyachts, told Business Insider.

While many tech billionaires have bought yachts, the richest of the rich, like Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison, have gone bigger. Their boats are virtual palaces at sea, decked with amenities like gyms, spas, pools, nightclubs, and movie theaters.

A look at these megayachts — broadly defined as over 70 meters long, mostly custom-built, and often costing nine figures — offers a glimpse into how the .00001% lives. It's something few others will ever get to experience. Even chartering a yacht of this size for a week typically costs upwards of $1 million.

One major thing that hundreds of millions of dollars can buy is privacy. There are likely yachts that have not been publicly recorded or registered — for example, Evan Spiegel is rumored to own the 94-meter megayacht Bliss. In an industry ruled by discretion , deciphering who owns what is typically an exercise in stringing together many clues.

Here are the largest yachts owned by tech billionaires, listed in order of length.

Jeff Bezos: Koru and Abeona

Amazon founder Bezos' $500 million megayacht, the 127-meter Koru, made a splash last year as she crisscrossed the Mediterranean in her first summer at sea, with her 75-meter support vessel Abeona in tow.

The sailing yacht, which is hard to miss thanks to her massive size and unique design, was host to Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez's famous friends . The couple held an engagement party on board, which reportedly drew guests including Bill Gates, Ari Emanuel, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Just a week later, they were seen on the streets of Dubrovnik, Croatia, with Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, and Usher.

Even before her completion, Koru made headlines. She drew the ire of some Dutch people, who vowed to hurl eggs after she was announced a historic bridge in Rotterdam might be taken apart to allow the Oceanco boat through. Luckily, the shipyard made alternative plans, and an egg crisis was averted.

Among yacht world insiders , Koru is widely praised for her craftsmanship.

"I heard back in 2018 or something that somebody had ordered a classic sailing yacht," one superyacht expert told BI. "You order 125 meters, that's not really going to be classic. But it is. I think it's pretty cool."

Mark Zuckerberg: Launchpad

Earlier this year, the yacht world was rife with rumors that Zuckerberg purchased Launchpad, a 118-meter superyacht originally designed for a sanctioned Russian businessman.

The ship made her maiden voyage in March, going from Gibraltar to St. Maarten and mooring in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Little is known about her interior, but photos show a large swimming pool and helipad. Her price, too, has been kept under wraps but is said to be nine figures.

Eric Schmidt: Whisper

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt made waves last year when he agreed to buy the Alfa Nero , the yacht of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, for $67 million in an auction conducted by Antigua and Barbuda. But he backed out of the deal following legal issues over her true owner. He quietly purchased Kismet instead. The 95-meter-long Lürssen-built boat was formerly owned by the Jacksonville Jaguar's billionaire owner Shahid Khan . Schmidt renamed her Whisper.

The ship can fit 12 guests and a crew of 28, according to Moran Yacht & Ship, which oversaw her construction. She features a master deck with a private jacuzzi, full-service spa, lap pool, movie theater, and outdoor fireplace.

While her final sale price was not public, she was listed for 149 million euros (about $161 million at current exchange rates), and at a charity auction in January, one week aboard the ship went for $2.4 million, according to industry outlet Yacht Charter Fleet.

Barry Diller: Eos

Barry Diller , the chairman of digital media company IAC, co-owns the megayacht Eos with his wife, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg , who is immortalized by a figurehead sculpture by Anh Duong.

One of the largest private sailing yachts in the world, the three-masted Lürssen schooner measures 93 meters long. She took three years to be built before being delivered to Diller in 2009, and since then, little has come to light about her interior and features.

The power couple has hosted many celebrities on the Eos, which spends her summers crisscrossing the Mediterranean and New Year ' s Eve in St. Barts . Over the years, guests have included Oprah Winfrey, Emma Thompson, Anderson Cooper, and Bezos, leading some to believe she provided inspiration for his Koru.

Jim Clark: Athena

Netscape founder Jim Clark purchased the 90-meter sailing yacht Athena in 2004.

"I could easily have built a 50- or 60-meter motor yacht that would have had the same space as Athena, but I was never really interested in building a motor yacht," he told Boat International in 2016. "To my eye, she's one of the most gorgeous large sailing yachts, maybe the most gorgeous large sailing yacht in the world."

Athena has room for 10 guests and 21 crewmembers, and the only change Clark says he'd make in her design is adding more space for his kids.

"If I was forced to change something, I would convert the office on the lower deck into a children's room," he said.

The former Stanford professor tried to sell her at various points — listing her for $95 million in 2012 , $69 million in 2016, and $59 million in 2017 — but she has yet to change hands.

Larry Ellison: Musashi

Oracle founder Larry Ellison has owned several superyachts over the years, including the Katana, the Ronin, and the Rising Sun — which he sold to fellow billionaire David Geffen .

He purchased his current boat, Musashi, in 2011 for a reported $160 million from custom-yacht giant Feadship.

Named after a famous samurai warrior, the 88-meter-long yacht has both Japanese and Art Deco-inspired design elements. She also boasts amenities including an elevator, swimming pool, beauty salon, gym, and basketball court.

Ellison is known for his extravagant spending — private islands, jets, a tennis tournament — and yachting is among his favorite and most expensive hobbies. He took up racing them in the 1990s and financed the America's Cup-winning BMW Oracle Racing team .

Laurene Powell Jobs: Venus

Steve Jobs' wife, investor and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, inherited a nearly finished 78-meter yacht named Venus when the Apple cofounder died in 2011.

After spending years vacationing on Ellison's yachts, Jobs wanted one for himself. He designed Venus with French starchitect and decorator Philippe Starck , and she was worth $130 million at completion.

"Venus comes from the philosophy of minimum," Starck said of her design. "The elegance of the minimum, approaching dematerialization."

Jobs and Starck began working together in 2007, the designer told Vanity Fair , and held monthly meetings over four years. Venus was delivered in 2012 to Jobs' specification: six identical cabins, a design to ensure spaces of absolute silence, and the most up-to-date technology.

"There will never again be a boat of that quality again. Because never again will two madmen come together to accomplish such a task," Starck told the magazine. "It was not a yacht that Steve and I were constructing, we were embarked on a philosophical action, implemented according to a quasi-religious process. We formed a single brain with four lobes."

Charles Simonyi: Norn

Early Microsoft employee Charles Simonyi has purchased two megayachts from the German shipyard Lürssen: the 90-meter Norn and 71-meter Skat.

Delivered in 2023, Norn is full of luxe features, including an outdoor cinema and a pool floor that lifts to become a light-up dancefloor. She shares a militaristic style with Skat , which Simonyi sold in 2021.

Skats's name is derived from the Danish word for treasure, and she had a listing price of 56.5 million euros and was launched in 2002.

"The yacht is to be home away from my home in Seattle, and its style should match the style of the house, adapted for the practicalities of the sea," Simonyi once said .

Sergey Brin: Dragonfly

Google cofounder Sergey Brin has built a flotilla of yachts, boats, and toys known as the "Fly Fleet."

Named after a once-secret Google product , the largest of Brin's armada is the sleek Dragonfly , which boasts a movie theater and a helipad. The 73-meter-long vessel was built by the Australian shipyard Silver Yachts and can fit up to 18 guests and 16 crew members, according to SuperYacht Times.

Also in his fleet is the superyacht Butterfly, a mere 38 meters long. Often moored in the Bay Area, her crewmembers spend their downtime kitesurfing and giving swimming lessons to local kids.

The rest of his marine lineup includes a smaller boat called Firefly, as well as Jet Skis, foilboards, dinghies, and kiteboards. She takes a team of 50 full-time employees to manage, steer, and maintain the entire operation.
