Buying a superyacht is perhaps the ultimate luxury item, many make the purchase and almost all of them seem to enjoy the experience once they have done it.

They do so because it gives them the ultimate feeling of pride. You charter a yacht to experience a lifestyle but having your own superyacht gives much more satisfaction. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about emotion and when you analyse it, emotion makes no sense at all.â&#x20AC;?

The standard of accommodation offered by some of these beautiful yachts is incredible and add in well trained crew offering a guest to staff ration not seen anywhere outside the White House in Washington DC and it is easy to see why many of these superyachts far outstrip the most palatial of seven star land based hotels when it comes to being pampered.
