Either used exclusively by their owners, available part-time for commercial charter, or operated all year round as charter businesses, Superyachts characterize all luxury motor or sailing yachts with a professional crew and a load line length of 24 meters and above. Over the last ten years, this premium industry has more than doubled with over 11 000 yachts in service and over 150 000 personnel worldwide.
Following a year defined by unprecedented restrictions on long-distance travel, the superyacht industry rapidly met the need for escapism by becoming an excellent alternative for luxury holidays. Yacht charters have managed to retain its existing clientele and conquer new markets by incorporating greater autonomy, ensuring clean environments for their guests, and minimizing the need to frequent public areas.
In addition to a skilled professional crew, a high level of customer service and an exciting entertainment selection, the offering in food and beverages can make a significant difference to the success of the superyacht experience. The key is sourcing high-end products from around the world all while paying attention to the guests' diet requirements.
