The Different Kinds Of Luxury Yachts And The Amenities They Have

By Michal Henderson


To ride a luxury yacht is on the must-experience list of sun worshipers and sea lovers. This type of vessel makes it possible for one to enjoy the sun and sea in isolation. But that is not all! As the name suggests, this water vessel has stylish interiors and several amenities which are meant to let people on board sail in style, comfortably.

Coined at the beginning of the 20th century, luxury yachts had been associated with no one else but the affluent and famous people. This label came into existence when these people started building private boats for personal use. Currently, this type of sea vessel is primarily used for leisure purposes. Also, while before it was solely for those who can afford to buy or build one, today, those who have the money to charter can experience sailing in style.

In terms of types, luxury yachts are categorized into two: sailing and motorized luxury yachts. The first ones were the sailing type. These luxurious water vessels also come in numerous sizes. Typically, the small ones are the sailing kind. They can carry a maximum of 12 people. Regardless of its size, small luxury yachts, true to their labels, feature beautiful interiors and complete amenities. They have cabins with air-conditioners and personal bathrooms. They also have kitchens equipped with the needed appliances.

Meanwhile, powered luxury yachts are significantly larger than the sailing types. Some even go beyond 328 feet in height. Just like the smaller ones, big luxury yachts also flaunt exquisite interiors with rooms mimicking 5-star hotel VIP rooms. As expected, because of its size, a large luxury yacht has more amenities which may include a private sitting room, indoor Jacuzzi, a discotheque, a cinema and also a massage room. The really big ones even have a helipad and carry smaller water vessels with them like jet skis and speed boats.

For countless owners and charter businesses, elegant interiors and superb amenities aren't the only things they value. As this type of water vessel is meant to sail in the vast sea and remain there for several days, it must also be hard-wearing and safe. This is why when it comes to the creation of luxury yachts, seasoned yacht builders are employed and top quality materials are utilized. Nowadays, with the advancement in technology, hi-tech navigation equipment are also placed on these extravagant vessels.
