Motor Yachts come in all shapes and sizes. Choosing the right size is certainly an individual decision based on the goals and the budget of the future charterer or owner. However, there is a recognisable trend and that is what this post is all about.
WHY MOTOR YACHTS AROUND 80 FT ARE SO POPULAR RECENTLY ?
The figures are clear, the (around) 80 feet motor yacht is one of the fastest growing superyacht categories. But what are the main reasons for this booming popularity?
Great living spaces on board: affordable luxury
The interior layout of yachts in the 80 feet range can vary widely depending on the model. However, as a general rule, the living spaces are spacious and designed for pure comfort, which also makes them suitable for entertaining.
Short-handed crew: more privacy & money saving
Many yachts in this line are equipped with very modern technology and can be operated “short-handed”, in a word, with a restricted crew. The two main reasons why short-handed has grown in popularity are: large crews can be costly and restricted crew means more privacy.
Ease of mooring: peace of mind
One would think that docking is the biggest concern for 80 feet motor yachts, above all with restricted crew. Not at all! Its modern conveniences turn this into a “no-worries” area.
