What It Really Costs to Run A Superyacht

If I had a dime every time I heard someone say that a superyacht costs 10 per cent of its value each year to run, I would probably own a very big superyacht myself!

Superyacht Marinas Are Transforming Into Luxury Destinations That'll Rival Your Yacht Club

When Port Nimara, the Caribbean island of Anguilla’s first superyacht marina, opens in 2027, its 118 berths will be only one part of the sales pitch.

For Camper & Nicholsons, the shift is not defined by a move away from established destinations, but by a growing appetite for more individual, experience-led itineraries. Remote destinations have always been part of the sector, but demand has become more visible in recent years, particularly among clients looking beyond conventional luxury towards experiences that are harder to access by other means.
