Overview

Superyachts are large, luxury motor yachts typically over 24 meters, built for long-range cruising, comfort, and high-end amenities. They combine powerful propulsion, sophisticated navigation systems, and bespoke interiors, often with crew accommodations, tenders, and leisure facilities like pools and helipads. Buyers choose superyachts for private use, charter, or status; they require significant operating budgets, professional management, and careful inspection before purchase.
