Global Yacht Industry Market to Reach US$10.8 Billion by the Year 2026

The yacht industry is expected to witness increased demand for yachts with long range capabilities and with ice-breaking hulls, given the growing desire of luxury yacht owners for adventure travels to remote locations such as Antarctica and Galapagos. As against the conventional compartmentalized layouts, there is a shift towards innovative designs with brighter and open-plan interiors. Yacht designs are also focused on outdoor areas for providing yacht travelers a direct and more intimate experience with the sea.

Owners are increasingly demanding high-tech features and gadgets to be integrated into their yachts. In addition to standard components such as jet skis, canoes and water skis, demand is rising for advanced gadgets such as hover boards, jetlev and skibob. Further, yachts with high-quality cinema rooms and media rooms are also gaining widespread popularity among potential customers.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Yacht Industry estimated at US$7.4 Billion in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$10.8 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% over the analysis period. Super Yacht, one of the segments analyzed in the report, is projected to grow at a 6.5% CAGR to reach US$3.6 Billion by the end of the analysis period.

After a thorough analysis of the business implications of the pandemic and its induced economic crisis, growth in the Sport Yacht segment is readjusted to a revised 7.3% CAGR for the next 7-year period. This segment currently accounts for a 22.6% share of the global Yacht Industry market.

The U.S. Market is Estimated at $2.7 Billion in 2021, While China is Forecast to Reach $1.2 Billion by 2026

China, the world's second largest economy, is forecast to reach an estimated market size of US$1.2 Billion in the year 2026 trailing a CAGR of 7.5% through the analysis period.

Among the other noteworthy geographic markets are Japan and Canada, each forecast to grow at 5.7% and 5.9% respectively over the analysis period. Within Europe, Germany is forecast to grow at approximately 5.6% CAGR while Rest of European market (as defined in the study) will reach US$1.3 Billion by the end of the analysis period.

China is another market with significant growth potential in Asia-Pacific region. In China, yachting is emerging into a popular sport, with motor yachting particularly gaining immense acceptance.

Flybridge Yacht Segment to Reach $2.1 Billion by 2026

In the global Flybridge Yacht segment, USA, Canada, Japan, China and Europe will drive the 6.1% CAGR estimated for this segment. These regional markets accounting for a combined market size of US$1.2 Billion in the year 2020 will reach a projected size of US$1.8 Billion by the close of the analysis period. China will remain among the fastest growing in this cluster of regional markets.

Global: rolls-royce and lürssen sign framework agreement for yacht refit collaboration.

Rolls-Royce's Power Systems division and Lürssen Yacht Refit & Services have signed a framework agreement that will cover their collaboration in the overhaul of mtu propulsion systems and refit services for yacht customers.

Lürssen has built many of the world’s largest yachts at its Bremen shipyard, often equipped with mtu propulsion systems from Rolls-Royce.

In addition to newbuilds, Lürssen also offers refit solutions for the overhaul, modernisation and conversion of yachts up to almost 200 metres long. In a statement issued this week, the companies said that a refit ‘also offers the opportunity to equip the propulsion system with the latest technologies for sustainable operation of the ship, thus contributing to the energy transition’.

Rolls-Royce and Lürssen have already been working together on refits for many years but the companies said that the new agreement ‘reorganises the cooperation, accelerates processes, simplifies procedures and defines common standards’. Consequently, they believe that it will ‘significantly reduce the time required for overhaul work on engines and propulsion systems’.

Denise Kurtulus, Senior Vice President Global Marine at Rolls-Royce Power Systems said: ‘This partnership between the two premium suppliers of yacht construction and propulsion creates unique conditions to play a major role in a highly attractive international market – and is fully in line with our strategic focus to strengthen the marine business.’

York Ilgner, Managing Director of Lürssen Yacht Refit & Services, added: ‘Thanks to the framework agreement, our customers receive the premium service they are used to from Lürssen.’

80 years of mystery and magic surround Lake Tahoe’s famed estate.

BY MEGG MUELLER

If the Internet had been around in the 1930s, the legend of George Whittell Jr. would far outshine the scandal-plagued celebrities of today. And while he was himself a raconteur, the adage would still be true; you can’t believe everything you read.

The truth—he was fabulously wealthy, collected exotic animals, and had a penchant for beautiful women that weren’t his wife—is enough for the storybooks, but likely wasn’t salacious enough to sell newspapers in his day, so exaggeration was rampant in the press.

He did, however, have a somewhat-deserved scandalous reputation when he began building his summer home on the shores of east Lake Tahoe in 1936.

MAN BEHIND THE MANSION

A foray into big-game hunting in Africa cemented a lifelong love of wild animals, particularly large cats.

In 1903, George’s parents hoped to settle down their wayward son, and arranged a marriage to one of San Francisco’s respected blue bloods. The story goes that George had other plans and instead eloped with a voluptuous showgirl. Further investigation reveals Florence Boyer to be a modest seamstress, but regardless of her profession, she was not suitable to George’s parents. His father quickly had the union annulled with the hopes of avoiding scandal, only to have his son turn around and marry an actress, who left him two years later in divorce.

During World War I, George reportedly drove an ambulance while in Italy and after being injured, met and fell in love with Elia Pascal, a French nurse. He brought Elia back to California, and with her acceptable pedigree the two married in 1919. George’s predilection for beautiful women continued after his marriage, and while Elia traveled to Paris sans George, she lived with him at their Woodside, Calif., home and frequently accompanied him to Thunderbird Lodge.

In 1922, George’s father died, and despite a wild, rambunctious youth, George Jr. proved an adept businessman, growing the family fortune steadily in the ensuing decade. In late 1929, however, George made what may have been his most perfect deal.

THE TRADE OF THE CENTURY

After the stock market crashed in 1929, George presciently made what is arguably his most savvy purchase; he bought acres and acres of pristine Sierra Nevada land—including more than 20 miles of Lake Tahoe shoreline— for just $3 an acre for the offshore land, and $6 an acre for the shoreline. (Tales of the purchase for 6 cents an acre are untrue). At one point he owned more than 40,000 acres of Lake Tahoe property, reaching from Nevada’s north shore to Zephyr Cove.

Initially, his plans for the land included a casino-hotel, luxury homes, and even a ski resort. After he built his summer home, however, the solitude was something he could not give up, and he chose the peace and quiet of no neighbors over the money developing the land would bring.

For 33 years, George reveled in his summer retreat, even bringing his elephant, Mingo, for a visit before the temperatures proved too much for the pachyderm. A more consistent companion was his pet lion, Bill, which was a gift from his ex-wife. Tales of the big cat’s nocturnal wanderings are exaggerated, but it’s safe to say guests at Thunderbird Lodge kept a wary eye out for George’s beloved friend.

Almost as constant were rumors of George’s ribald ways, with stories of parties growing more sensational with every retelling. From orgies in the fountains to locking naughty guests up in the house’s dungeon, the tales of George’s life at Thunderbird Lodge are more about the myth than the man. While he did entertain on occasion and was known for raucous all-night poker games with the likes of Ty Cobb and Howard Hughes, George’s reclusive nature found him often in the company of just a few close friends while in Lake Tahoe. George died in 1969 at the age of 87.

AN UNINTENTIONAL LEGACY

Additions were made by subsequent owner Jack Dreyfus, but the property retains its original glory and mystery. In the summer, guided tours by docents offer a glimpse into the life and legacy that is George Whittell Jr. But Thunderbird Lodge is more than meets the eye.

“It’s so much more than just a house or a history of a colorful man,” Bill Watson, chief executive and curator of Thunderbird Lodge, explains. “We’ve become the repository for the Lake Tahoe Basin’s art and history.”

Some 11 years into a job that was supposed to last 90 days, Bill has found himself on the front line of Lake Tahoe’s historical preservation efforts. His original mission was to save the Thunderbird Lodge from being torn down—that was accomplished when a deal was brokered that gave the buildings to the Thunderbird Lodge Preservation Society, while the Forest Service kept the land. Next, the challenge was to sustain the buildings; 10,000 people a year visit Thunderbird Lodge for tours, plus 2,000 schoolchildren. There are special events—some are members-only, but the public is invited to others—that help raise funds for the upkeep of the buildings, but as Bill points out, there’s still work to be done before he can accomplish his third mission: building a permanent preservation fund endowment.

“We are still a historic site at risk,” he says. “Even with just five paid employees, Thunderbird Lodge costs $1 million a year to run. We are totally self contained up here.”

Along with its own water treatment plant and septic system, the operation requires the help of about 100 volunteers to keep the property open for visitors who come to see the buildings, artifacts, and discover the history of the man, house, and area.

Like George, Bill has found himself in a conservationist role he didn’t anticipate. He oversees Lake Tahoe’s de facto art and history museum, housing more than 25,000 art objects, papers, and artifacts from the region’s past. He has story after story of people calling him offering entire collections because they have nowhere else to donate them. He always says yes, and one day, he hopes to make the entire collection available online to the public (see sidebar on page 62) .

Art, history, exotic pets, incredible architecture and land, plus the story of one of Nevada’s most influential men come together under one roof, and the Thunderbird Lodge is still teeming with adventure at 80 years old.

“Thunderbird is a wonderful escape, offering windows to the past and to George’s legacy,” Bill says.

The Mighty Thunderbird Yacht

One of George Whittell’s Jr.’s most spectacular toys—among his Duesenberg cars, Grumman Goose seaplane, and a DC-2 airplane— was the 55-foot speedboat he commissioned in 1940 specifically to use at Lake Tahoe.

Thunderbird cost $87,000 to build and is a gleaming wooden vessel, with a hull and cockpit designed to mimic those of George’s DC-2. It originally had twin V-12, 550 horsepower Kermath engines, but when casino mogul Bill Harrah bought it in 1962, he replaced them with twin V-12 Allison aircraft engines.

The beautiful boat ferried the glitterati around Lake Tahoe’s waters, during George’s ownership and Bill Harrah’s time. From casino showgirls to the likes of Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and Liza Minnelli, the Thunderbird was a well-known sight on the lake.

The upkeep of the 75-year-old boat is considerable, and while it spends much of its time protected in the Thunderbird’s massive boathouse, it is available to charter for private events.

FINDING HISTORY THE PROPER HOME

BY BILL WATSON

Thunderbird Lodge may seem like just another beautiful estate on a stunning lake, but our vision—and our future—is much greater. We realize how important it will be to have preserved Nevada’s treasures like Thunderbird Lodge and Thunderbird yacht for future generations. More than just a local legacy, Thunderbird is becoming a global model for such preservation endeavours.

We are the keepers of Lake Tahoe’s rich heritage—protecting and sharing for future historians and forward-thinking leaders.

We hope they will recognize the universal potential in inspiring curiosity, appreciation, understanding, and stewardship of Lake Tahoe’s art, history, and environment.

Lake Tahoe’s cultural narrative intersects at Thunderbird Lodge: geologic, Native American, mining, lumbering, railroading, rusticating, recreating, early conservation efforts, and more. Sadly, there is no viable institution today with the capacity to assemble and interpret this colourful past. With its vast collections of material and archives, Thunderbird is best positioned to share Lake Tahoe’s story as its de facto art and history museum.

Through Thunderbird’s Flagship and Castle Club membership programs, preservation-minded families and business are sponsoring development of one of the nation’s first digital museums, where Thunderbird will make available online its entire Lake Tahoe collection, plus other compelling content to researchers and audiences worldwide.

Majesty Yachts Unveils Majesty 100 Terrace: A New Benchmark in Luxury Yachting at Cannes Yachting Festival 2024

Dubai, 24 September 2024 – Gulf Craft, a global leader in luxury yacht manufacturing, unveiled its latest masterpiece, the Majesty 100 Terrace , during the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 last week. The company’s Chairman, Mohammed Alshaali, unveiled one of their highly anticipated model builds on the legacy of the Majesty Yachts family, as part of their ongoing commitment to showcase an exceptional portfolio and their latest innovation in boating to international audiences.

At the same event, the Majesty 60 was awarded the "Best Evolution Award" at the 2024 World Yachts Trophies. With its sleek and contemporary profile, the yacht features a stylish exterior and an extended swim platform, along with accommodation options with either two or three cabins, each with private bathrooms and customizable features.

Commenting on the sidelines of this prestigious award, Alshaali said: “This accolade not only recognizes the yacht’s groundbreaking design and innovation but also aligns with our core philosophy at Gulf Craft — a relentless pursuit of evolution. We are dedicated to continually pushing the boundaries of yacht design, performance, and technology.”

The Majesty 100 Terrace embodies the shipyard’s commitment to luxury and innovation, expanding upon the legacy of the award-winning Majesty 111 , which won Best Interior Design at last year’s World Yachts Trophies in Cannes. Featuring an all-new semi-displacement hull, the Majesty 100 Terrace combines enhanced performance with a sleek 105’8” (32.25m) design. With an impressive 199GT, it offers unparalleled space and stability, ensuring smooth cruising and superior fuel efficiency, whether navigating the Mediterranean or Caribbean.

The Majesty 100 Terrace is named for its multiple outdoor terraces and entertainment areas, with a distinguished private owner’s terrace on the bow as well as fold-down balconies that seamlessly expand the outdoor living spaces. Masterfully crafted with rich marble, walnut, and brushed brass, the Majesty 100 Terrace epitomises the shipyard's legacy of meticulous design and superior craftsmanship.

Echoing the grandeur of the Majesty 111 , the main deck of the Majesty 100 Terrace features expansive entertainment areas, including a unique 10-seater dining table. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors create a barrier-free, light-filled space, while the owner's stateroom offers breathtaking panoramic views, a private terrace, and a hidden anchor management system for uninterrupted luxury. Designed to embrace natural light, expansive skylights flood the interiors, and a skylight in the stairwell seamlessly merges the outdoors with the indoors, ensuring every corner of the yacht is bathed in sunlight. Every detail of the Majesty 100 Terrace is crafted to deliver an unparalleled experience of comfort and elegance at sea.

The announcement took place during a press breakfast aboard the renowned Majesty 120 , one of the most celebrated superyachts in the Majesty line. As part of the Majesty Yachts European tour, this award-winning vessel will also be showcased along the French Riviera at the Monaco Yacht Show from the 25th to the 28th of September.

Sailing yachts like Mike Lynch's are 'unsinkable bodies', CEO of boat manufacturing firm says

Bayesian superyacht which sank off Italy is an "unsinkable" vessel, Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, said.

By Ashna Hurynag, news correspondent and Eleonora Chiarella, producer

Sunday 25 August 2024 08:48, UK

Vessels like Mike Lynch's stricken superyacht are "unsinkable", according to the chief executive of the firm which makes and sells them.

Giovanni Costantino, CEO of The Italian Sea Group, told Sky News there are no flaws with the design and construction of the Bayesian superyacht which capsized in a storm off the coast of Porticello, Sicily, on Monday.

Five bodies were found by divers on Wednesday - taking the number of confirmed dead to six.

The Italian Sea Group also owns the firm that built British tech tycoon Mr Lynch's Bayesian, and Mr Costantino said the vessels "are the safest in the most absolute sense".

"Being the manufacturer of Perini [boats], I know very well how the boats have always been designed and built," he said.

"And as Perini is a sailing ship... sailing ships are renowned to be the safest ever."

He said their structure and keel made them "unsinkable bodies".

Mr Costantino said news of the sinking "put me in a state of sadness on one side and of disbelief on the other".

"This incident sounds like an unbelievable story, both technically and as a fact," he said.

It is understood Italian prosecutors investigating the incident are continuing to hold interviews with the survivors.

On Tuesday they questioned the captain for more than two hours to help reconstruct what happened and provide useful technical details.

Four British inspectors are also in Porticello and have begun a preliminary assessment of events.

It is understood they will look at all relevant aspects of the incident, including the design, stability, and operation of the vessel. They will also examine the effects of the weather conditions experienced.

Twenty-two people were on board the vessel, 15 of whom were rescued - including Briton Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter Sofia.

Divers will resume efforts on Thursday morning to bring ashore a body they found earlier. One more person remains missing.

INVENTIVE AND SOPHISTICATED 33-METRE WORLD CRUISING CATAMARAN WITH UNMATCHED QUALITY

23 september 2024.

Baltic Yachts reveals its first multihull project as a 33-metre (107ft) blue water cruising catamaran.

With contract signature in June 2024, the design and engineering phases of the project are well advanced and the build is scheduled to start this month with the construction of hull moulds. The yacht is due for delivery in summer 2027.

This project is a major milestone for Baltic Yachts, which has been a world leader in the production and development of high-performance, luxurious composite monohull yachts for more than 50 years.

The design brief calls for a highly aesthetic and functional design of a stable and comfortable long-range explorer yacht that can go almost literally anywhere, with elegant, streamlined and soft exterior lines, excellent sailing performance in all conditions and especially in light winds, and a high degree of autonomy from shoreside support services. It also desires a strong emphasis on environmental thinking and sustainable solutions, which extends to the yacht’s long-term operational footprint as well as the environmental impact of her construction.

‘She will be very much an explorer yacht with exceptionally high levels of comfort, beauty and reliability as well as some groundbreaking developments in efficiency,’ says Baltic Yachts sales director Kenneth Nyfelt. ‘While meeting strict weight targets to optimise her performance and handling, Baltic Yachts will also deliver a quality of finish that is yet to be seen on a multihull.’

The owners have assembled a carefully considered team to design, develop and build their yacht, with naval architecture led by Olivier Racoupeau, interior design by Jamie Bush, design consultancy by Andrea Chiari-Gaggia, structural engineering by Rivoyre Ingenierie and Patrick Sassier acting as the owner’s representative.

‘With the Baltic 107 Catamaran, Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design is particularly proud to bring the multihull into the world of the superyacht,’ says Olivier Racoupeau. ‘Our passionate and experienced team immediately recognised the values of Baltic Yachts. With a wealth of experience in multihulls, it was natural for us to design this exceptional catamaran, sharing the same vision with her owner of elegant lines and performance with volumes that will give access to any destination world-wide in the greatest comfort.’

‘For our first yacht project, this hi-tech 33-metre catamaran illustrates a unique design highlighting inventive functionality with modern styling, wrapped in a classic palette of warm woods, crisp whites with pops of sporty colours,’ says Jamie Bush. ‘It’s about creating a space that’s at once sophisticated, youthful and timeless for our adventurous clients. Building upon our previous successful collaboration with the owners, we’re drawing inspiration from modernist influences and contemporary design to develop a fresh and unique aesthetic for this yacht.’

Baltic Yachts was selected to build this yacht on the strength of its vast experience in high-performance superyacht construction, its very wide range of in-house skills and capabilities, its cutting-edge composite expertise, superlative quality of finish and proven track record of sustainable innovation.

The key features include pivoting centreboards that will enable her to explore shallow waters freely, extremely low levels of noise throughout the owner’s and guests’ accommodation, and unobstructed 360° views from her saloon. All sailing systems will be controlled from the crew areas on the flybridge. She will have notably low energy consumption at anchor as well as being able to regenerate electricity with her propellers while she is under sail.

‘Pushing the boundaries of technical sailing innovation is in Baltic Yachts’ core DNA,’ says Baltic Yachts’ EVP Henry Hawkins. ‘This project is a great opportunity for us to explore new avenues with partners with whom we are building their first yacht.’

AVIATION, SHIPPING & YACHT

In the aviation and yacht business, being able to access spare parts is critical to continued operations and revenue generation. A plane on the ground, awaiting a crucial part is actually a financial liability for any company. In addition, a very valuable yacht under construction or one that is out of service cannot generate any revenue for its owner. It is critically important that spare parts and other important components arrive quickly to get these machines running again.

Here are some of the aviation and yacht shipping logistics services that we can offer the industry:

• Inventory management at your facility.
• Proactive & rapid response teams will assess the fastest way to get needed parts to their destination.
• Manage all aspects of customs documents and clearances.
• Personal courier to travel with critical parts is available.
• Secure and clean storage available for instant access to needed inventory.

Contact Us Today!

The professional team at MOL Logistics USA understands your sense of urgency when it comes to aviation, shipping or yacht parts arriving as quickly as possible. Contact us today to learn more about how our staff can expertly put a plan together to ensure your machinery is up and running again as quickly as possible.

The sweetest driver and the most amazing relaxing time. We didn't have to worry about anything. Really throughly enjoyed our time. We drove to San Francisco to a wedding, my aunts and uncles are older and it's hard for them to see in long drives outside of our city. This was a treat! It was around 30+ of us. Super friendly customer service, everything was easy and smooth. The bus was clean as a whistle and we were able to play our own music. Bluetooth connected, waters and a TV! We brought our own snacks and a little bit of wine, we had a blast.

We rented a party bus for my husband and I's 30th and it was incredible! Mark was awesome and made sure we all got there and back safely, and we got sooo many compliments from our friends that came. Plenty of space, super clean ride and overall just a great time! Definitely recommend!

Mark was a great help and made sure the day went smoothly for us. I would recommend him and his services. Thank you!

I had my senior ball on 5/5 and Mark was amazing! I found him on yelp and had messaged him starting from February because I knew how crazy prom season would be. I copied part of the message he sent me for the quote I asked for: "The following land yacht is available for your 6 hour (5:45p-11:45p) event on the date you've requested.  30-36 passenger - $1,695.00 Our prices INCLUDE ALL FEES AND CHAUFFEUR'S GRATUITY, as well as complimentary ice and bottled water." I had 32 people on my bus and we all had enough space! The water was definitely awesome for the end of the night but Mark was so responsible and got us to SF city hall on time and safely. He was so quick at replying to my messages and I have had looked into many other places and this was the most accommodating and reasonably priced. Highly recommend !!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PARTY BUS & DRIVER! IT'S A VERY UNIQUE, Custom oversized METICULOUS PARTY BUS! Like no other! Looks Even better and Bigger than the photos!! AMAZING LIGHTING TOO! Every detail was considered to maximize guest's comfort...Plus new large bathroom! The Company even offered to pick up extra beverages and snacks & included bottled water/ice In the price! Another company i called charged for water/ice and their contract stated no chips/cupcakes etc on bus AND HAD NO BATHROOM!! They also required exact itinerary days in advance. We were allowed to change our itinerary as the night progressed! Driver, Mark, was beyond great with a positive FUN attitude! This party bus was an incredible fun experience for all. Everyone is still talking about it! I would give it 10 STARS IF I COULD!!! Ps My first yelp review but this company really deserves it!!A RARE FIND!!!

Our group had an amazing time! Mark arrived on time to pick us up and the bus was clean and spacious. The bathroom on board was an added plus. The pricing is very favorable to other companies and the bus has everything you need. I wish I had taken pictures of the interior because the other photos on here don't do it justice. There's also a TV that you can stream to. We ended up extending our reservation an hour because we didn't want it to end. We will definitely be using Mark again in the future.

First class experience from pickup, journey, to drop off. Our chauffeur Kelvin provided us with a safe and wonderful experience to make for a good time. Will definitely be hiring this company for future corporate events and celebrations. Keep up your good work. Thank you.

I had my 40th birthday bash and Mark was amazing. Bus was very clean and roomy with a bathroom which was a plus. Hands down, book with Pacific Land Yachts if you are looking for a party bus. Would definitely do business again!

Mark is pretty darn awesome! We chartered his land yacht for a work event. Everyone had an amazing time, and everyone said that they would definitely want to work with Mark again for both future and personal events that require group transportation. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!

I rented a bus for my brothers 30th birthday and it was an unforgettable night! The bus was in great condition and so much bigger than I imagined. It even had a restroom which was helpful because we had it reserved for 5 hours. The driver was fantastic and let us blast our music and dance the whole time. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a good time!!
