Global Yacht Charter Market: Snapshot
Yacht chartering is one of the many results of a growing on demand oriented market. It provides advantages to both the owners of yachts as well as those who wish to lease them. Yacht chartering implies the service of renting or chartering a specific type of marine vessels, ranging from sailboats to motor yachts. The purpose of renting yachts can vary from personal vacations to corporate events; nearly all key players in the global yacht charter market have these purposes covered. Yacht charter currently can be categorized as crewed or bareboat, the former being more expensive but having the ship come with its own crew of operators. The latter can be cheaper but requires the renters to be able to operate the vessel. Several players in the global yacht charter market are also offering tutorials on operating bareboat vessels in order to entice more consumers.
From the perspective of the individuals or companies that own yachts, the global yacht charter market provides the advantage of having their vessels taken care of. From a global perspective, owing to growing disposable incomes and a growing number of high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals, it is becoming easier for consumers to either purchase or rent yachts, providing an increasingly wider scope of opportunities for players in the global yacht charter market. The market is also gaining momentum due to the increasing popularity of services and packages that involve bareboat operating lessons as well as cabin charters.
Global Yacht Charter Market: Overview
Yacht chartering refers to the practice of renting a yacht for recreational or corporate purposes. Owners spend significantly on the maintenance of yachts. Furthermore, they use yachts infrequently. Primarily, yachts are employed for sailing purposes. Considering these factors, the provision of chartering yachts provides owners an effective way to recover the maintenance costs. Factors such as the growing population of affluent people worldwide, rising popularity of yacht vacations among the young population, and ease of booking yachts have been propelling the global yacht charter market since the last few years.
The ease of booking can be contributed to the convergence of web-based yacht charter applications in the yacht chartering business. Owing to these applications, customers can easily look up for yacht services on the Internet, choose suitable options, and make bookings within minutes. This factor is expected to lead to significant growth avenues for the global yacht charter market during the forecast period.
