BASICS
A ‘super’ yacht is either a motor or a sail yacht that is over 30m in length.
Yachts can be owned privately or by management companies that charter
them out. Commonly, yachts spend the summer in the Mediterranean and
the winter in the Caribbean. The cost to buy a super yacht can be anywhere
from $8 million to an unfathomable $1.5 billion.
