“There’s a positive shift with more women becoming active in yachting, and my commitment to empowering women in this field aims to create a more inclusive future for yacht sales.”
Luxury Yachting: Beyond Possession
“The yachting industry is renowned for its luxury,” Kezia begins. This luxury plays a significant role in influencing potential yacht buyers. Yachts symbolize opulence, status, and a coveted way of life.
Miami’s Glamorous Embrace
“Miami’s culture sets high standards for yachting,” Kezia notes. It’s a culture where buyers seek vessels that align with the city’s chic atmosphere, favoring sleek, modern designs and amenities for socializing. The stunning coastal beauty enhances the allure of Miami’s waters.
Yacht Design Trends: Satisfying the Savvy Buyer
“Buyers seek open deck layouts, swim platforms, efficient propulsion systems, advanced technology, and spacious, luxurious interiors,” says Kezia. These trends ensure yachts cater to modern lifestyles while offering unparalleled comfort.
Sustainability on the Horizon
“Buyers are increasingly willing to invest in sustainable features,” Kezia observes. Sustainable yachting, with features like electric propulsion and eco-friendly materials, is gaining ground and is likely to shape the future of yacht sales.
Navigating Costs, Customization, and Maintenance
Beyond the initial purchase, yachting enthusiasts must consider ongoing costs and maintenance. Kezia emphasizes, “We advise buyers to create budgets covering not just the purchase but ongoing costs like fuel, maintenance, crew salaries, and upgrades.” This holistic approach empowers buyers to make informed financial decisions while ensuring their yachting dreams remain hassle-free.
