𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 "All over the world people are looking to diversify their offerings. It’s interesting to see these luxury brands offering cruises, no doubt leading people who might not have previously thought of a cruise but know the brand, to show interest for the first time. It is narrowing the jump from luxury hotel to the luxury yacht experience." https://lnkd.in/ezxqCztk

    The global yacht market, valued at $6.4 billion in 2022, is projected to reach a staggering $13.67 billion by 2030. But it's not just the superyacht sales that are making waves. Luxury hotel brands like Ritz-Carlton, Aman, Four Seasons, and Orient Express are setting sail in the superyacht industry, offering their guests the same opulence they enjoy on land, but at sea. These hotel-branded superyachts, while not technically classified as 'superyachts' due to their guest capacity, offer a taste of the yacht experience. As Dilan Saraç, executive director of Superyacht Life Foundation, puts it, "Even the world’s most luxurious hotel can’t offer a different view every morning like these do." The trend is clear: luxury hotel brands are diversifying their offerings, bridging the gap between luxury hotels and the luxury yacht experience. And with the launch of new superyachts by Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, and Orient Express on the horizon, the future of the superyacht industry looks brighter than ever. For those who dream of luxury, exclusivity, and a different view every morning, the superyacht experience is calling.

    September 30, 2024 | The Impact of the Yachting Economy on Hospitality | Despite its size—just 2.1 square kilometers and a population of around 39,000—the Principality of Monaco hosted ~$2 billion in yachting assets at Port Hercule during the recent Monaco Yacht Show. Over the four-day event, over 100 luxury vessels were showcased. From a “singular” hospitality perspective, each yacht, conservatively estimated to offer five luxurious rooms, overall, the show contributed approximately 500 five-star accommodations, effectively creating a luxury resort aura within the span of four days (4) days. By contrast, building a land-based five-star resort can take anywhere from 3 to 7 years, depending on factors such as location, scale, regulations, and the complexity of the project. The yachting economy's flexibility offers a unique advantage to destination stakeholders, allowing them to manage hospitality infrastructure resources efficiently while catering to an impactful global market. This transient yet highly lucrative market sends a powerful message about the potential of yachting to transform a destination’s hospitality landscape – literally over a few days. https://lnkd.in/eGndm5P4

    In the realm of luxury hospitality, it's no longer just about plush linens and Michelin-star meals. Today's high-end traveler seeks experiences that transcend the ordinary, and yacht charters are the ultimate hotel luxury add-on that can deliver just that. 🌟⚓️ • Unparalleled Freedom: Unlike traditional accommodations, yacht charters offer an unrivaled sense of freedom. Imagine waking up to a new view every morning, sipping your coffee as you watch the sunrise over a different island or coastline. 🌅🏝️ • Bespoke Itineraries: With a yacht charter, guests have the flexibility to tailor their itinerary to their preferences, whether it's exploring secluded coves, dining in quaint seaside towns, or simply basking in the sun on a private beach. 🗺️🍽️☀️ • Exquisite Service: Onboard a luxury yacht, guests can expect the highest level of service. From a personal chef preparing gourmet meals to a dedicated crew catering to every whim, it's an experience that truly epitomizes luxury. 🍾👨🍳🛥️ • Privacy and Exclusivity: In a time where privacy is increasingly valued, yacht charters offer an unparalleled level of seclusion. Guests can relax and unwind without the crowds, in the comfort of their own floating haven. 🤫🌊 It's time we redefine what luxury means in the hospitality industry. Offering yacht charters as a hotel add-on not only enhances the guest experience but also sets the establishment apart in a competitive market. 🚢💎 In essence, yacht charters are more than just an add-on, they represent a shift in the luxury hospitality landscape - one that prioritizes unique experiences, personalization, and the ultimate in luxury and comfort. ✨🛳️ #YachtCharters #LuxuryHospitality #HotelAddOns #ExperienceLuxury 🌐🛌

    Even the world’s most exclusive hotel can’t offer a different view every morning. Unless it’s a luxury hotel at sea, that is – which we’re starting to see more of as high-end hotels branch out into the cruise industry. However, these aren’t simply big boats with hotel logos slapped onto the side. These are sleek superyachts that come with Italian-designed suites, private terraces and plunge pools, Michelin-standard restaurants, curated art galleries, and designer boutiques. In other words, all the elements of the world’s leading luxury hotels – which is unsurprising, given that Ritz-Carlton, Aman, Four Seasons, and Orient Express have all either launched or are about to launch their inaugural superyacht-style cruises. https://lnkd.in/d3rYQDiB If you would like to be among the first guests, contact us! #luxury #superyacht #fourseasons #explora #Ritzcarlton #aman #orientexpress #travel #lifestyle #quintessentially #concierge
