FAQ

We're committed to making yacht buying easier, so if you can't find what you're looking for just ask.

The largest yachts usually require 40 to over 80 crew members to operate safely and efficiently. Crew numbers depend on yacht size, guest capacity, service level, and onboard amenities, with roles including deck crew, engineers, hospitality staff, security, and aviation teams where helicopters are carried.
A superyacht can travel globally, but usage is subject to international maritime laws, flag-state regulations, visas, cruising permits, and environmental restrictions. Some regions have limits on anchoring, emissions, or access to protected areas, meaning itinerary planning and compliance are essential for unrestricted global cruising.
Large yachts and superyachts are generally lifestyle assets rather than financial investments. While values can fluctuate based on market demand and yacht quality, ownership is typically justified by personal use, privacy, and flexibility. Charter income may offset some costs but rarely covers full ownership expenses.
Annual running costs for a superyacht are typically 8–12% of the yacht’s purchase price. These costs include crew salaries, fuel, maintenance, insurance, docking fees, refits, and management. For very large yachts, annual operating costs can exceed $30–50 million depending on usage and complexity.
Before buying one of the world’s largest yachts, you should understand total ownership costs, crew requirements, operating regulations, berthing limitations, and long-term maintenance obligations. Large yachts also require professional management, flag-state compliance, and careful consideration of cruising plans, as not all ports or marinas can accommodate vessels of this size.
The largest yachts in the world typically cost around $500 million, while replacement costs in today’s market would exceed $1 billion. Final pricing depends on size, design, and onboard features, with key factors including yacht length, shipyard, custom engineering, interior specification, and advanced technology such as helipads, submarines, and security systems.
Superyacht insurance typically includes hull and machinery cover, protection and indemnity (P&I), crew insurance, and liability coverage. Additional policies may cover charter operations, war risk, environmental liability, and valuable onboard assets. Insurance requirements depend on yacht size, flag state, cruising area, and usage.
Yes, many owners charter their superyacht when not in use, provided the yacht meets commercial compliance requirements. Chartering can help offset operating costs, but it involves additional regulations, inspections, crew qualifications, and wear on the vessel, which should be considered before entering the charter market.
You do not need a license to own a superyacht, but the yacht must be operated by a properly certified professional captain and crew. Regulations require qualified personnel to meet flag-state and international maritime safety standards, regardless of whether the yacht is privately or commercially registered.
Mega yachts can only dock in specialist deep-water ports, large superyacht marinas, or anchor offshore. Many of the world’s largest yachts cannot enter standard marinas and rely on tenders for guest access. Suitable locations include major Mediterranean hubs, select Caribbean ports, and purpose-built superyacht facilities worldwide. Top options include Port Hercules (Monaco), Porto Montenegro, and Marina di Stabia (Italy).
