By Type, the Sail yachts segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

In the luxury yacht market, sail yachts represent a distinct segment, with vessels measuring 80 feet or longer, extending up to an impressive 230 feet in length. Despite incorporating auxiliary engine power, these vessels prioritize sail power for propulsion, resulting in lower production costs. Factors such as smaller engines, increased automation in manufacturing, and the adoption of fiberglass hulls contribute to their more affordable pricing compared to motor yachts. Equipped with all modern conveniences, luxury sail yachts offer air conditioning, television, navigation aids, radar, echo-sounding, autopilot, computer-controlled electric winches, and robust power-generating systems. Exclusively utilized for leisure purposes, these vessels cater to discerning clientele seeking an authentic sailing experience. Despite a projected decrease in market share, the sail yacht segment is anticipated to exhibit a consistent growth rate, with a two-digit Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), throughout the forecast period.

By Application, Commercial  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

In the luxury yacht market, commercial yachts are distinguished from leisure yachts based on their primary use for trade, business, or charter, accommodating a maximum of 12 guests. To be registered, commercial yachts must adhere to stringent international and national standards, ensuring compliance with safety, environmental protection, and security regulations. These requirements are dependent on factors such as length, tonnage, and passenger capacity. The commercial yacht segment currently holds the largest market share but is projected to experience a decline during the forecast period.

Europe is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

Europe's dominance in the global luxury market extends to the luxury yacht sector. With approximately 40% market share, Europe is a significant player, boasting the largest and most alluring ports for luxury yachts. Notably, the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Europe's largest yacht port, accommodates approximately 77 yachts for luxury tourism.
