If her commercial helipad and world-class gym aren't enough to tempt you on board, perhaps the yacht's two-storey owner's suite or eight-metre swimming pool might. Wellness is at the heart of a charter on board Ahpo   seen in her nature-themed spa, complete with a massage room, Himalayan salt sauna and a Turkish-style hammam finished in vibrant mosaics and ivory onyx. 

Nature is another theme that continues throughout the vessel, seen in the choice of artwork, the central staircase (which depicts an olive tree) and the grand dining room, which is themed around water lilies. She also has a full-time crew of 36, on hand to ensure that every whim is catered to.

The World’s Most Expensive Yachts for Charter

This year has seen two of the most expensive superyachts in the world join the charter market.

By Owen Fay

The past few years have seen two of the most expensive yachts in the world join the charter market. Lana,   O’Pari and Octopus are now available for hire priced at $2.1m and $1.1m and $2.2m per week, respectively. Freshly launched, these stunning ships add to an already impressive array of superyachts on the charter market right now.

When they were first released, these ships entered an industry that is facing unprecedented challenges, with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic still reverberating. However, as cases began to drop and travel back on the menu, chartered superyachts became the most favorable vacation option to those who could afford it, with privacy and the opportunity for splendid isolation away from crowded airports and resorts both big draws.

Here, we look at the esteemed company that Lana and O’Pari will be joining with some of the most expensive superyachts to charter.

Rate: From $3,517,000 per week Location: Mediterranean (year-round) Built: 2019 Length: 446.2 ft Guests: 25 in 11 cabins (up to 36)

Built by Lürssen and delivered in 2019, Flying Fox (pictured above) is the most significant addition to the charter market in recent times. The weekly charter fee puts her at the most expensive yacht in the world. This means she is in reach of just a select few, with Beyoncé and Jay-Z choosing her for their summer vacation in 2021.

First Look: McLaren Artura Spider, a Hybrid Super Convertible

Sialia Yachts Launches Advanced Electric Explorer Yacht

We have covered Flying Fox in greater detail, but in short, this is a one-of-a-kind vessel that offers a truly unique experience. At a hulking 446 ft, space is no issue with the yacht home to two helipads, a two-story spa, a 40-ft swimming pool, which is unique for a yacht of this size, and a full gym and beauty center, among other similarly impressive features.

It is worth drawing special attention towards the vessel’s cryotherapy chamber, as it was the first to ever be installed on a private yacht and can reach -166 Fahrenheit. With 54 expert staff on board, including some former Olympians, Flying Fox is well-equipped to look after up to 36 guests, either in the West Mediterranean in the summer months, or the East Mediterranean for the rest of the year. Whichever option is chosen, this superyacht is the peak luxury experience.

Rate: From $2,200,000 per week Location:  Central America, Europe and Pacific (summer), Central America, South America and Caribbean (winter) Built: 2003 (refurb 2021) Length: 414.1 ft Guests: 12 in 13 cabins

Arguably one of Lurssen’s most iconic yacht builds, despite being first delivered in 2003 Octopus  has only recently come to the charter following a sale. The 414.1-ft ice-class vessel isn’t short on exciting features to shout about, with two helipads, seven tenders, a swimming pool, library and even a glass-bottomed aquarium. Accommodations are suitably luxurious with a lavish master suite and two VIP apartments, as well as seven doubles and three twin rooms.

Octopus  has seen plenty of sights in her lifetime with her first owner, the late Paul Allen, frequently loaning her out for exploration projects and research missions. While her new owner remains undisclosed, it has been noted that they are keen for her to continue being used for meaningful expeditions – as well as the odd cruise around paradise, of course.

Rate: From $2,110,500 per week Location: Middle East and The Red Sea Built: 2020 Length: 351.05 ft Guests: 12 in 8 cabins

When she was first delivered in 2020, Lana took the title of Benetti’s largest-ever build at 351 ft and a maximum beam of 50 ft. While she has now been surpassed by the likes of Luminosity and M/Y IJE, she’s still a force to be reckoned with, and the $2.1m weekly fee goes a long way with this much space. Benetti’s Italian craftsmanship is on display in the seven VIP staterooms, along with one master suite. The rooms are able to accommodate 12 guests in these eight cabins, with each room equipped with an individual color scheme and panoramic windows.

Lana is kitted out with everything we have come to expect with a superyacht of this size, featuring a spa, gym, cinema, helipad, and outdoor pool. Perhaps most striking is its Beach Club which comes with folding terraces. Currently situated in the Middle East, this impressive superyacht is well-prepared for a full season of cruising.

Rate: From $1,774,643 per week Location: Bahamas/Caribbean Built: 2019 Length: 312.66 ft Guests: 12 in 10 cabins

Delivered 12 weeks ahead of schedule in the summer of 2019, Madsummer is a striking vessel, designed by the renowned Espen Oeino. Studio Laura Sessa furnished the interior, making use of a broad and bold color palette. Each of the 10 staterooms have a custom color scheme that is both contemporary and tastefully finished. Sessa has applied similar levels of customization throughout the ship. One notable detail of this is the custom-built dining table (a work of art in itself), which is topped off with layers of colored lacquer for a beautiful result.

For the nautically inclined, the ultra-modern bridge is situated alongside the master suite, allowing the charterer easy access to the organizational hub of the yacht. The vessel’s fundamentals are state-of-the-art, with a 125kW, lithium-ion battery pack as just one example of this. This battery means less fuel is required and helpfully retains any excess energy produced.

Also a relatively new vessel, Lady S was delivered in 2019 by Dutch builder Feadship. The interior was designed by Reymond Langton and described by them as “a contemporary jewelry box”, with the glitzy white and crystal chandeliers just one detail that highlights the truth behind this statement. Such is the quality of its construction Lady S was the recipient of two awards from Boat International for both its interior and exterior design.

Beyond aesthetics, the vessel is equipped with all the amenities and facilities that any charterer could desire, making her worthy of being on any list of the most expensive yachts. This includes the very first IMAX cinema to be installed on a yacht, a basketball court and ice plunge pool, along with all else that you would expect in this price range.

Rate: From $1,500,000 per week Location: Mediterranean (summer), Caribbean (winter) Built: 2016 Length: 301.84 ft Guests: 14 in 7 cabins

Aquarius is an eye-catching vessel. Her all-white four-deck exterior was designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and built by Feadship. The company was also responsible for its interior, one of its notable features being the floor-to-ceiling windows that surround its outsides. In keeping with its ambitious glass work, there is a bar at water level underneath a glass-bottom pool, that when emptied can turn into a dance floor. Based in the Mediterranean in the summer and the Caribbean in the winter, Aquarius has six VIP cabins, with a private deck for the master suite, suitable for 14 guests in total.

Kismet has more than a touch of glamour about her, previously hosting Beyoncé and Jay-Z, along with other celebrities, while it has recently featured in ‘Six Underground’, Michael Bay’s $150 million film. With this level of celeb appeal, it’s no surprise that she’s one of the most expensive yacht charters on the market. The appeal is clear with the ability to hold large parties for up to 270 guests and two helipads for ease of access for the world’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

Owned by Shadid Khan, owner of NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, Kismet features a large silver jaguar at the bow in a nod to his team. The interior was designed by Reymond Langton, who was inspired by “champagne and caviar”.

Lengton has successfully combined traditional opulence with the latest technology, including state-of-the-art video walls that can switch between regular television and moving artwork. The deck is laid with black marble, while the master suite’s bathroom contains an onyx bath that oozes glamor.

Rate: From $1,150,000 per week Location: Bahamas Built : 2019 Length: 262.5ft Guests: 12 in 7 cabins

This striking (and expensive) yacht is sure to turn heads wherever she goes. Designed by Winch Design, Excellence remains at the forefront of what a modern superyacht should look and feel like. The curved floor-to-ceiling mirrored glass is designed to reflect her surroundings. Natural light floods through the triple-height glass atrium and the full-height windows. Her striking and angular plumb bow gives her the unmistakable look of a futuristic spaceship. There is a large swimming pool with a swim-up bar on the main deck aft and an upper deck entirely dedicated to the owner. Above the owner’s deck is the substantial sun deck with a lounge area and jacuzzi. There is also a large water-level tender garage where the yacht’s limousine tenders are stored.

burgessyachts.com

Rate: From $1,112,000 per week Location: Mediterranean (summer), Caribbean (winter) Built: 2020 Length: 311.68 ft Guests: 12 in 6 cabins

At just under 312 ft, O’Pari is the largest superyacht Greek yard Golden Yachts has produced and was delivered in June of this year, quickly becoming one of the most expensive yachts in the world. Both the interior and exterior were designed by Studio Vafiadias and part of the brief was to commission a custom art collection for display onboard.

The theme chosen for this was the relationship between man and nature, a particularly apt choice given the generous outdoor space on O’Pari . This includes a huge sky lounge, with panoramic ocean views, as well as a bar with DJ booth and an alfresco dining area on the upper deck. Also on the upper deck is the master suite with all other guests suites located on the main deck. Available to charter in some of the most attractive regions in the world, the Golden Yachts flagship is an outright success and is one of the most attractive high-end options out there.

The 30 Most Expensive Yachts in the World

Posted October 6, 2022 in Brokerage & New Build by Janine St.Denis

Whether you use this list for inspiration for your next trip, or are just curious about luxury vessels, you’ll enjoy our roundup of the 30 most expensive yachts in the world .

Price: $ 1.5 billion (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 70 members

Size: 533 ft. long

Builder: Blohm & Voss

Eclipse is a stunning superyacht owned by Roman Abramovich, a billionaire Russian oligarch. Featuring amenities such as a gym, a dance floor, a beach club, a beauty salon, two helipads, a 16-meter swimming pool, and a state-of-the-art security system. 

The missile detection system and bulletproof windows in the master suite also add an extra level of security. 

2. Scheherazade

Price: $700 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 40 members

Size: 459 ft.

Builder: Lurssen

Previously named Lightning, the Scheherazade is a motor yacht that’s fit to entertain with two helipads, two jacuzzis, two outdoor fire pits, a movie theater, a spa, and a gym. 

Price: $600 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 80 Members

Size: 524 ft.

Launched in 2022 by Lurssen, Blue is one of the largest yachts in the world. This megayacht can accommodate approximately 48 guests in 24 luxurious staterooms. Featuring two helipads, a teak-paneled deck, a steel hull, and an aluminum superstructure, this is a true statement of gorgeous naval architecture. 

Price: $ 600 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 60  members

Size: 590 ft. long

Builder: Lurssen Yachts

Complete with a missile defense system, a bullet-proof master suite, and the ability to reach speeds of 35 mph, the Azzam was made with security in mind. 

While the vessel is the largest superyacht in the world, it was designed with elegance in mind, too. The Azzam was made in reverse, with the interior plans drawn up before the exterior plans, making the Azzam sleek and efficient. 

5. Crescent

Size: 445 ft.

Despite being one of the world’s most expensive superyachts, the Crescent is a bit of a mystery—even to insiders in the yachting world. The ship’s owners have remained anonymous and little is known about the ship’s interior. The few details we know, however, are impressive. 

The yacht has a beach club, large swimming pools, a huge master suite, and a state-of-the-art entertainment system.

Crew Size: 60 members 

Size: 461 ft.

Builder: Lloyd Werft

If you love water toys and subs, then you’ll likely find the Solaris impressive. The Solaris features a crane to launch toys, subs, and tenders. 

One of the major attractions of this vessel is the beach club on the top floor. It’s an ideal location for soaking in the sun and relaxing after a long day of play. 

The Solaris is an explorer yacht and is also the largest yacht built by Lloyd Werft. We don’t have many details on the interior design, but if the sleek, white, beautiful exterior is any indication, it’s likely exquisite.

Price: $ 527 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 79 members

Size: 482 ft. long

Year: 2012 

While this yacht was originally known as Topaz, it now goes by “A+”. When it first launched, it was the fourth largest luxury yacht in the world. Though the A+ was robbed of that title a few years later, it’s still an impressive superyacht. 

The amenities include a jacuzzi, swimming pool, double helipad, cinema, gym, and multiple conference rooms. 

Price: $500 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Size: 465 ft.

Nord was designed for global exploration and has an extremely distinctive exterior design. The bow aesthetic has never been seen before on any yacht and it makes for a striking first impression. 

With a sports and diving center on the lower deck and a swimming pool higher up, the superyacht is an athlete’s dream. 

9. Fulk Al Salamah

Crew Size: 100 members

Size: 538 ft.

Builder: Mariotti

With a name that translates to “Ship of Peace”, this yacht was designed for a genuinely relaxing voyage. Although the yacht isn’t currently used for recreation (it operates as a support vessel and transport ship for the Royal Navy of Oman), the ship has the same layout and amenities of a superyacht. 

10. Motor Yacht A

Price: $ 440 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 42 members

Size: 400 ft.

With a 2,500-square-foot master bedroom, a disco, a helicopter hanger, a 30’ separate speedboat, and a glass-bottom swimming pool, this yacht deserves its “A” name. 

It’s widely considered to be one of the largest superyachts and can accommodate up to 14 guests and a 42-member crew,

11. Flying Fox

Price: $400 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 54 members

Size: 446 ft.

Known as the most expensive charter yacht in the world, the Flying Fox has all the amenities of a floating resort, including a cinema, beauty salon, luxury spa, pool, and gym. It’s little wonder that Beyonce and Jay-Z chartered the vessel in 2021.

 A week aboard this yacht costs around $3 million. 

Crew Size: 88 crew members

Size: 531 ft. 

Builder: Unknown

This yacht carries a rich history. It’s owned by the ruler of Dubai (hence the name), though it went through several name iterations during the planning process, including Panhandle, Golden Star, and Platinum. 

The fine dining room on the lower deck is massive—it can accommodate up to 90 guests—and is painted in stunning blue and burgundy tones. 

This floating palace features VIP and social areas and a split-level owner’s deck. 

13. Radiant

Price: $ 320 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 44 members

Size: 361 ft.

If you have a fear of pirates on the high seas, you’ll appreciate one of the more unique features of the Radiant: the water cannon! This superyacht is equipped with a high-powered water cannon to defend against pirate attack. 

It also has multiple swimming pools, a helipad, a massage room, a movie theater, a gym, a swimming platform, and a jacuzzi. 

14. Al Said

Price: $ 300 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 154 members

Size: 508 ft.

This superyacht was built in secrecy, and not much is known about it even today. The Al Said has a colossal concert room with enough space for a 50-person orchestra. Other than that, her amenities and movements remain a mystery. 

Price: $300 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 52 members

Size: 439 ft.

Builder: Fincantieri

Year: 2011 

It’s safe to say they spared no expense during the building of the Serene; It’s currently the tenth most expensive yacht in the world.

The Serene has multiple swimming pools, two helipads, a submarine, and an underwater viewing room.

16. Pelorus

Crew Size: 46 members

“Everyone was extremely happy on our charter! It was an epic trip which we will be talking about for the rest of our lives. Mare, thank you again for connecting us with them and making all this possible! We will charter again and I will be in touch with you when we do.”

“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about 26 North Yachts. I used the company’s services for a yacht charter that was part of a business/charity event. They were extremely professional and organized from the initial set up to the end of the charter. The captain and crew were fantastic and very accommodating.  They also brought some new elements to the evening with their service and decor. I have booked a second charter for an event in April. We are looking forward to another seamless event. Thank you again to 26 North Yachts.”

“What a wonderful experience! The yacht was beautiful and impeccably kept. The captain and the first mate went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and were committed to ensuring we had a great time aboard the ship. I would highly recommend 26 North Yachts to anyone considering chartering a yacht!”

15 Most Expensive Yachts In The World | 2024 Edition

While there is no official definition of a yacht, it can be simply described as a large vessel (with cabins) intended for luxury or pleasure purposes. Any yacht over 40 meters in length is usually identified as a superyacht.

Modern superyachts are designed with the utmost focus on comfort and power. They are required to accommodate various luxurious amenities to cater to every need of the owner and guests. It includes anything from swimming pools, spas, and entertainment centers to water sports toys and helipads.

While some superyachts are exclusively used by their owners, many are offered to charter businesses through which these superyachts can be rented or chartered. The cost of leasing a superyacht could be anywhere between $80,000 to a staggering $4 million per week.

So what are the most expensive yachts in the world? Who owns them, and what extravagant amenities do they have? Let’s find out.

12. Nord – $300 Million

Launched In : 2021

Builder : Lürssen Owner : Alexey Mordashov

Nord is a massive superyacht built by German shipbuilding company Lürssen in 2021. It was initially named OPUS. According to Forbes, the yacht is currently valued at $300 million.

The yacht’s construction was done under the supervision of Moran Yacht, a private yacht dealership based in Florida. Both its interior and exterior designs were carried out by an Italian naval design firm, Nuvolari & Lenard.

The superyacht is fitted with state-of-the-art zero-speed stabilizers that reduce roll while being anchored or not underway. It features amenities such as a swimming pool, spa, a tender garage, and two helicopter landing pads, one on the top deck and another on the bow.

Nord is owned by Russian billionaire Alexei Mordashov, the chairman and majority shareholder of the biggest steel and mining company in Russia – Severstal.

Specifications :

At 142 meters in length, Nord is one of the largest superyachts in the world. It has a volume of 10,154 gross tonnage or gt. It can accommodate a maximum of 36 guests at a time.

The vessel is powered by four MTU engines and has a cruising speed of 15 knots or 28 kph.

11. Pelorus – $300 Million

Launched In : 2003

Builder : Lürssen Current Owner : Samuel Tak Lee

Pelorus is the oldest superyacht on this list and has a rich history. Since its completion in 2003, the vessel has changed hands several times.

Pelorus was initially ordered by a Saudi businessman named Sheikh Abdul Mohsen in 1999. The construction started in the year 2000 and entered service two years later in 2003.

However, the yacht was sold to the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich within a year of its launch. As a new owner, Roman Abramovich made several modifications to the superyacht, which included adding a second helicopter pad.

In 2011, Pelorus was bought by David Geffen for about $300 million. But he sold the yacht after a brief period to sultan Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan of UAE.

The superyacht changed ownership again in 2016. Its current owner is Samuel Tak Lee, a Hong Kong-based real estate billionaire.

At 115 meters in length, Pelorus is perhaps the smallest superyacht on this list, but it is still a gigantic vessel. For perspective, the total length of an entire football field is 110 meters. It has a volume of 5,317 gt.

Pelorus has a cruising speed of 14 knots or 26 kph and a reported maximum speed of 20 knots (37 kph).

10. Dubai – $400 Million

Launched In : 2006

Builder : Blohm+Voss Owner : Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

‘Dubai’ is a superyacht owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and the vice president/prime minister of the United Arab Emirates. It is currently the tenth most expensive superyacht in the world.

Until 2009, it was the largest private superyacht in the world but was surpassed by Eclipse, Azzam, and Fulk Al Salamah.

The yacht is built by Blohm+Voss, a German shipbuilding company best known for producing the German battleship Bismark during World War II. Blohm+Voss was acquired by the Lürssen shipyard in 2016.

Dubai superyacht is designed by renowned yacht designer Andrew Winch along with interior designer firm Platinum Yachts.

The superyacht carries a helipad, two motorboats, water bikes, and a submersible. Amenities include a large dining room, swimming pool, a movie theater, and disco.

At a length of 162 meters, Dubai is currently the fourth largest private superyacht in the world. It has a tonnage of 13,470 gt. Dubai superyacht is powered by four MTU diesel engines, each delivering 8,479 hp. It has a maximum speed of 26 knots (48 km/h) and a range of 8,500 nmi (15,700 km).

The superyacht has a maximum capacity of 115 guests with 88 crew members.

9. Eclipse – $438 Million

Launched In : 2009

Builder : Blohm+Voss Owner : Roman Abramovich

Eclipse is a massive superyacht owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. He is currently the 13the richest individual in Russia and made his wealth through the steel industry and other investments.

After its launch in 2009, Eclipse became the world’s largest private yacht. However, it has been surpassed by Fulk Al Salamah and Azzam in recent years.

Eclipse was built by Blohm+Voss, three years after the Dubai superyacht, in 2009. Its estimated cost is around €340 million.

The superyacht accommodates about a dozen of luxurious cabins for guests, two helipads, an entertainment hall, and a mini-submarine that can submerge up to 50 meters below the surface.

While it is clear that Eclipse is no ordinary superyacht, what makes it truly stand out from the rest is its military-styled missile defense system that detects and fires missiles at possible threats.

The yacht also features an ‘anti-photo shield’ for enhanced privacy. When activated, the shield detects a CCD sensor (closed coupled device) and fires a shot of laser in its direction to destroy any photographs. However, the effectiveness of such technology remains debatable .

Eclipse has a length of 162.5 meters and a volume of 13,000 gt. Its beam is 22 meters, and the draft is 5.9 meters. The vessel is powered by four MTU diesel engines and has a maximum speed of 22 knots or 40.7 km per hour.

8. Flying Fox – $455 Million

Launched In : 2019

Builder : Lürssen Owner : Dmitry Kamenshchik

The Flying Fox is a luxury yacht built by Germany’s Lürssen shipyard in 2019. It is perhaps the world’s largest and most expensive yacht available for charter. A week-long vacation on this superyacht would cost you about $4 million.

This spectacular vessel is a result of collective design work from interior designer Mark Berryman and renowned superyacht architect Espen Oeino . Apart from the Flying Fox, Mr. Oeino is known for his work on other superyachts such as Silver Fast and Octopus (owned by Microsoft’s co-founder Paul Allen).

Like most modern superyachts, the Flying Fox is primarily centered around wellness and watersports themes. Its exceptional tender garage carries nearly every water sports equipment from hoverboards and seabobs to windsurfs and flying boards. Moreover, it also carries a personal submarine that can be launched using a crane.

Often regarded as a ‘floating resort,’ the superyacht has guest suits, a two-level saloon space, a specialized gym, multiple fireplaces, and lots of greenery.

But perhaps its most eye-catching feature is the 12-meter deck pool with adjustable height floor, massage jets at one side, and swim jets at the other. Moreover, the yacht also carries a cryosauna which can help you emulate the post-workout endorphins rush.

Due to the sheer size and splendor of the Flying Fox, it was speculated that the yacht was owned by Jeff Bezos (the world’s richest person in 2019).

However, in 2022, it was revealed that the actual owner of the yacht is a Russian oligarch named Dmitry Kamenshchik.

The Flying Fox measures 136 meters in length and 9,022 gt in internal volume. It has a beam of 22.5 meters and a draft of 5.1 meters. It is currently the 22nd largest yacht in the world by length.

More To Know

How long it takes to build a superyacht.

The construction of a superyacht is usually done in four phases – planning or design, engineering, superstructure construction, and outfitting.

It takes about three to four years to build an entire custom superyacht. While it takes less time to construct a vessel on a pre-developed platform with standard elements, building a customized superyacht that caters to all your requirements takes more time. You also have to take unexpected delays into consideration.

The design or planning is the most critical phase in a superyacht construction. Considering the budget and specific requirements, the entire process could take between nine months and a year.

The Current International Market for Luxury Superyachts

The yacht industry is on the rise, and the demand for luxury superyachts has exploded in the last few years during soaring stock markets and crypto gains. Most of the demand is from the United States.

The global yacht industry is valued at $64 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $84.7 Billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 4.1 percent.

According to Boat International’s Global Order Book, about 1,024 superyachts are under construction or on order globally in 2022. It is about a 25 percent increase from the last year’s 821 vessels.

A large chunk of these under-construction superyachts is semi-custom options that are relatively smaller in size than most superyachts on this list. Moreover, about 33 percent of these orders are some sort of expedition superyachts that can sail through ice and other remote regions of the world.

Four seasons ceo reveals plans to transform luxury yachting.

Four Seasons Yachts

The official definition of a superyacht is a hotly debated topic. It’s widely accepted that to warrant such a title, yachts must be privately owned, sized in the region of 24-120m (78-400ft), and employ a full-time crew, however the rise of luxury hotel-branded ‘yachts’ is challenging convention.

Four Seasons is one such hospitality group. Next year, the brand will launch its first ‘yacht’, a residential-style ship with 95 suites including a striking four-level 9,500ft ‘Funnel Suite’. Promising to delivery everything that their guests love about their favourite hotels but at sea will offering different view every day, it’s an enticing proposition – particularly for those new to cruising.

“As we've done with the other businesses, we want to create a best in class, unparalleled experience,” says Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO of Four Seasons. “We do that in our hotel and resorts so now we are replicating the same at sea. When you look into into the design of the vessel itself, we're taking all the considerations to make the guest and product experience incredible. The size of the suites, for example, will be twice the size of the closest competitor.”

Four Seasons, which renowned for its personalized service, plans to bring this service to the ocean by committing to a one-to-one guest-to-employee ratio. “This is something that you will not see on a on a normal cruise. It’s really hard to achieve but it's an investment that we're making to deliver that personal experience,” Reynal says.

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024.

The group also plans to leverage its global network to offer itineraries that resonate with Four Seasons guests – and incorporate stays at Four Seasons properties before and after cruises. “We're thinking a lot about the itineraries and we best leverage the most sought-after destinations in the Caribbean and in Europe, and leveraging Four Seasons as well. I think the more connections we make to our core business, the better in terms of providing that experience to the guests,” Reynal says.

Cabins and communal areas have been designed like high-end hotels, but Four Seasons has taken inspiration from the yachting industry when it comes to amenities. The vessel will, for instance, be kitted out with a range of ‘toys’ and features traditionally seen on superyachts, including a garage packed full of watersports toys as well as tenders for exploring the coast. There’ll even be a swimming pool that transforms into a dance floor at the push of a button – a feature previously seen on leading superyachts including 354-foot Benetti motor yacht Luminosity, designed by Zaniz .

The group also plans to incorporate some of the flexibility enjoyed by superyachts, compared to cruises, when it comes to daily schedules. Like cruise ships, the vessel will have an itinerary to follow, but how a resident spends their time, from meal times to excursions to use of facilities, will be more flexible in comparison to the traditional hotel experience.

“We’re really thinking about this as something really special and different that ultimately is going to be truly appreciated as a yacht experience rather than a cruise experience,” Reynal says.

Reynal reveals that the new offering isn’t looking to compete with the traditional superyacht charter business but bring new people into the industry. “Some of our guests venture out into certain countries because they feel comfortable staying with Four Seasons and they know they have that guarantee of an excellent service. Similarly in this situation, maybe they’re never done yachting before but because they’re trying it with a brand they’re guaranteed to have a great experience, so I think that may happen.”

He reveals that the final piece of the Four Seasons puzzle is to create a seamless experience between the group’s hotels, private jet journeys and cruising offerings. “If people had the time and the desire to do so, they could do the Four Season Private Jet Experience, finish in a particular destination, and continue the Four Seasons experience at sea,” he says. “Once we have finalised the itineraries for the year, we will think about ways of linking the two, potentially.”

The first Four Seasons Yachts vessel is set to launch in 2025 with a second vessel to follow in 2026 – both will go into competition with other world-leading hospitality groups including Ritz-Carlton, Aman and Orient Express which are planning their own seafaring ventures.

The question remains as to whether any of these vessels can accurately claim to be a ‘superyacht’, but if they deliver on their promises of personalised service, innovative design and incredible itineraries, they could be the next best thing.

MARKET TRENDS & OPPORTUNITIES

• Economic Growth and High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs)

Economic growth and the rise in the number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) play pivotal roles in propelling the growth of the yacht market. As economies expand, disposable incomes increase, fostering a culture of luxury and leisure. High-net-worth individuals, drawn to exclusive experiences, often view yacht ownership as a symbol of prestige and a means to enjoy a lavish lifestyle.

Economic prosperity translates into an expanding customer base capable of affording yachts, ranging from mid-sized cruisers to superyachts. The market responds to this demand by offering various vessels with cutting-edge technology, opulent amenities, and personalized features. As more individuals achieve financial affluence, the allure of yacht ownership intensifies, contributing significantly to the sustained growth and dynamism of the global yacht market.

Rising Disposable Incomes

The increasing disposable income among consumers is a key driver of growth in the yacht industry. As disposable incomes rise, individuals and families often seek unique and luxurious leisure experiences, with yacht ownership representing the epitome of exclusivity and sophistication. Yachts, from smaller cruisers to extravagant superyachts, become attainable for a broader population with higher purchasing power.

The ability to afford such a symbol of opulence and leisure fosters a growing interest in yachting, driving demand within the market. Yacht manufacturers respond to this trend by introducing various models catering to different preferences and budget ranges. The rising disposable income, therefore, not only expands the market size but also fuels innovation and diversity within the yacht industry, contributing to its sustained growth.

INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS

High Upfront Cost

The high upfront costs associated with yacht ownership pose a significant constraint on the growth of the yacht market. Yachts, especially larger and more luxurious models, come with substantial price tags, including the vessel's purchase price, maintenance, crew salaries, docking fees, and other operational expenses.

The financial commitment required upfront can deter potential buyers, limiting the market to a niche segment of high-net-worth individuals. The exclusivity of yacht ownership often stems from these significant costs, creating a barrier for those who might otherwise be interested in entering the market. While financing options and charter services exist to make yachting more accessible, the perception of prohibitively high costs remains challenging, restricting the market from reaching a broader audience and realizing its full growth potential.

SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS

INSIGHTS BY TYPE

The global yacht market is broadly segmented into sailing and motorized yachts, each catering to distinct preferences and purposes. The conventional sailing yachts, propelled primarily by wind energy, offer a timeless and elegant nautical experience, attracting enthusiasts who appreciate the thrill of sailing and the romanticism associated with wind-powered navigation.

On the other hand, motorized yachts, equipped with engines for propulsion, provide a more dynamic and versatile on-water experience, appealing to those who seek speed, convenience, and the ability to cover greater distances. The motorized yachts segment holds a higher market share and is expected to grow with a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Several countries and regions worldwide stand out for their strong and sustained demand for motorized yachts. For instance, demand for motorized yachts in the Mediterranean is buoyed by local buyers and international tourists seeking the luxury and adventure of maritime exploration.

INSIGHTS BY MOTORIZED YACHT

The motorized yacht segment represents a dynamic and diverse sector within the yacht market, catering to enthusiasts who value speed, convenience, and advanced technology. This category includes subsegments such as superyachts, flybridge yachts, sport yachts, and long-range yachts. Superyachts, known for their luxury and size, hold the highest share and are often equipped with luxurious amenities. Moreover, a relentless pursuit of innovation and cutting-edge technology marks the super yacht segment. Advancements in materials, engineering, and onboard systems contribute to developing more efficient, eco-friendly, and luxurious super yachts.

INSIGHTS BY SIZE

The global yacht market by size is segmented into 20 to 50 meters, up to 20 meters, and above 50 meters. Yachts ranging from 20 to 50 meters in length currently hold a maximum market share of over 50%, appealing to a broad spectrum of buyers seeking a balance between spaciousness and manageability. In this segment, buyers often find versatility for both private and charter use. However, the up to 20-meter category is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR, driven by increasing accessibility and affordability.

These smaller yachts offer entry-level options, making yacht ownership more attainable for a broader market. On the other end, yachts above 50 meters cater to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, providing expansive living spaces, cutting-edge amenities, and the epitome of luxury. The segmentation by size allows the market to address the diverse demands of buyers, from those seeking intimate cruising experiences to those desiring grand, superyacht opulence.

INSIGHTS BY HULL TYPE

The global yacht market encompasses diverse hull types, influencing the vessel's performance, stability, and functionality. Monohull yachts hold the maximum share of the market when compared to their counterparts. It features a single hull and is known for its stability and efficiency, making it suitable for various applications. Various manufacturers and builders populate the monohull yacht industry, each bringing their touch of craftsmanship and innovation. Renowned names such as Beneteau, Jeanneau, and Dufour have established themselves as leaders in this segment.

Moreover, displacement hulls displace water rather than riding on top, offering a comfortable and steady ride, ideal for long-distance cruising. Furthermore, specialized hulls are designed for specific purposes, such as ice-breaking hulls for polar exploration or SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) for improved stability in rough seas. Each hull type caters to different preferences, applications, and navigational conditions, contributing to the diversity and innovation within the market.
