How we define a Superyacht?

Since yachting began, before the seventeenth century in Holland, yachts have increasingly developed in construction techniques, styles and lengths. Today, yachts of various sorts are a major leisure, sport, lifestyle and global phenomena.

Since the increase in size, the term "Superyacht" came to be. There is now standard definition for a yacht or a superyacht and this is very much a shaded area.

In recent times a superyacht is generally classed as a yacht of 24 metres or longer, due to the Commercial Yacht Code classing 24m or larger with conditional criteria.

These "large" yachts typically require professional crews, carrying no more than 12 passengers, privately owned and flag registered.

Also, it is said yachts over 40 metres are classed as a superyacht.

Our definition for a Superyacht

Any yacht that is 40 metres and above in Overall Length, complying to Class authorities, Flag States and Purpose may be termed a superyacht. Any yachting vessel below this dimension are the following:

• 40m - < Superyacht
• 24 - 39.99m Luxury Motor Yacht or Luxury Sail Yacht
• < - 23.99m Motor Yacht or Sail Yacht

(We adhere to this definition for clarity of business.)
