On board Golden Yachts' 85m superyacht O'Ptasia

O’Ptasia, the 85 metre former flagship from Golden Yachts, wows charterers with her quiet comfort and beautiful beach club

“She was booked for charter before even leaving the shed, just based off the renderings,” said Paris Dragnis of the 85-metre Golden Yachts O’Ptasia .

Standing on the quay at the yacht’s home marina in Athens, the chairman and founder of Golden Yachts gazed admiringly up at his new yacht. At 2,350GT, she was the largest boat to emerge from the Greek yard at the time (having now been eclipsed by the 95m O'Pari .) And she set a new standard among her Golden Yachts siblings for amenities and technical innovations to maximise guest comfort on board.

Golden Yachts’ business model is distinct from most yards'. Rather than building a yacht with a client in mind, or even on speculation hoping to lure the right owner, new yachts go directly into the charter market, managed by Golden Yachts’ sister company, the brokerage house Atalanta Golden Yachts. These spend at least a few years chartering before being put up for sale, with Dragnis also taking this time to use the boat himself – as a means to both enjoy his creation and gain insights on improvements for the following iterations.

In this sense, Dragnis very much wears the hat of owner during the build process, dreaming up the brief and working hand-in-hand with Italian designer Giorgio Vafiadis of Studio Vafiadis . Their first Golden Yachts project was 42-metre O’Pari , launched in 1997 by Intermarine but refitted by the nascent Greek yard in 2006. Studio Vafiadis masterminded the interior design of the refit.

“Yachting was my hobby and then it became my business,” said Dragnis. “And I still love it.” Before venturing into yacht building, his business was cargo ships and tankers. And in a former life, in his early 20s, Dragnis worked on boats himself. His business card still brandishes the title “Captain” and the crew refer to him as such when he’s on board. These days, though, he is quite content to leave the helm to O’Ptasia’s actual skipper, Nikos Demertzis, who said that the full-displacement yacht handles exceptionally well in rough seas.

From seafarer to shipping magnate to yacht owner, this varied maritime history has helped inform the construction process of Golden Yachts. The shipping background in particular has surely helped the engineering advancements found on O’Ptasia . Guest comfort was paramount to the brief, and as such additional sound dampening was required.

“My wish is to build a boat that when it’s running you hear nothing at all,” Dragnis said. The precise goal was to improve noise insulation by 35 per cent compared with O’Ptasia’s predecessor, O’Pari 3 . “I like the quietness of the upper saloon,” said Vafiadis, to this point.

Vafiadis, along with his son Stefano, styled O’Ptasia’s interior and exterior as well as configuring the layout. He has penned 11 out of Golden Yachts’ 13-strong fleet, creating a familial inheritance of flowing looks, soft lines and a style that endures. Balance, fluidity and light are all Vafiadis keywords.

“Looking at the profile, you can recognise a certain fluidity, like water moving in slow motion and then shaping well-balanced volumes,” he said. “It’s a continuation of a style in the Golden Yachts family. When you make a successful design for a brand, it’s normal to maintain such design concepts. We designed all of the Golden Yachts new builds having that same idea in mind.” In order to create an elegant exterior on a larger scale with O’Ptasia , Vafiadis played with the contrast between volumes and recesses, “by pulling the volumes out in opposition to the recesses absorbed by the dark”.

The tastes of Dragnis and Vafiadis are balanced inside. “I like light colours and Giorgio likes dark woods, so it’s always a matter of finding a compromise,” Dragnis said. Fittingly, the interior has a blend of dark woods paired with a light colour palette that is intended to evoke a sense of calm. There is a range of woods, from a porous lati to glossy ebony. “The inspiration for the interior was quiet, calm and relaxing,” said Vafiadis. “We kept the surfaces clean, and there isn’t a lot of clutter or accessories.”

The interior decor is modern, with clean, crisp lines and eye-catching details. Ebony cabinetry is inlaid with stainless-steel details. A rippled line in the cabinets breaks up the expanse of joinery in the saloon, drawing the eyes up and out to views beyond the picture-box windows. The main saloon is a grand space, one large open-plan room with two separate seating areas containing white leather sofas, black coffee tables and glass lamps. A dining area is set at the forward end of the saloon, and the ebony dining table is centred with backlit, honey-toned onyx.

Air-conditioning units, supplied by Dometic, are hidden in columns, and they are whisper-quiet, with air dispersed through the shelved ceilings. This not only hides the potential eyesore of vents but also creates dramatic height, especially in the main saloon – and the next yacht in build is slated to have ceilings that are 20 centimetres higher still. The upper deck saloon is a more casual place for lounging or watching films, with low-slung grey sofas, a bar and games table.

The guest cabins feature eucalyptus walls and grey joinery. The space is allocated well in the suites, and most cabins have walk-in wardrobes. Bathrooms have a Greek flavour: some are decorated in Pentelikon marble, which was used in the construction of the Parthenon in Athens (it is ideal for en suites as it doesn’t absorb water); other bathrooms feature a green marble found on the Aegean island of Tinos.

The plentiful cabins – she can accommodate up to 22 people – are numbered rather than named, which gives a bit of an impersonal impression. But this could be easily remedied by a new owner. Otherwise, Vafiadis manages to keep a yacht that’s built for holidaying from feeling like a cruise ship. “The key is to use warm colours and create interesting and dynamic spaces with a logical flow. It’s very important for guests to easily move around the yacht,” he said. “Merging interior and exterior spaces wherever possible also elevates the feeling of the yacht.” There are three entry points for guests, whether arriving by tender or helicopter on the touch-and-go helipad, and the general arrangement is well planned for ease of guest and crew flow.

The art on board O’Ptasia is a feast for the eyes. Pop art, mosaics and textured pieces that tempt you to touch them adorn the hallways and guest cabins, adding heaps of personality. The pièce de résistance is the light installation in the lift, a glowing purple triangle that beckons you into the dimly lit space and makes riding even one floor an experience.

There is a second lift on board that’s hidden from view, dedicated for crew use. Similarly, the magnificent staircase – a set of glowing onyx steps in a jet-black stairwell – is backed by a crew staircase on the opposite side. While the two staircases allow crew to move about with ease and without being seen by guests, this is intended for charter clients rather than for Dragnis himself. “The crew is like family – I like to see them move up in the ranks; it’s the shipping mentality in me,” he said.

Charter guests’ preferences inform many of the design decisions. For example, a twin cabin being placed next to the master suite helps those guests who want to have their children or a chosen assistant close at hand. “I learned from the chartering side of the business that people want a big swim platform and beach clubs with all the amenities,” said Dragnis. Here, O’Ptasia does not disappoint. The massive beach club boasts a curved bar, hammam, massage room, sauna and plenty of space for soaking up the sun before sliding into the water. For those who prefer freshwater, there is a pool set aft on the bridge deck. A dedicated gym also enjoys pride of place – and outstanding views – on this deck. Guests could work up a sweat before slipping into the pool moments later.

When it comes to building boats, Greeks are better known for their shipbuilding than their yacht-building. Greece doesn’t have a proven reputation for quality in this realm, something of which Dragnis is aware, and he is seeking to change that. Most Golden Yachts suppliers hail from afar, he said. The interiors are built in Italy, the lift is by a German company, electronics are from America. But he likes to employ Greek workers in the build, up to 400 when running at full capacity. “I want to support my own country and people,” said Dragnis. The yard runs two shifts so they can build yachts quickly. There is also a refit and repair division. This combination of global yachtbuilding expertise and quick-moving Greek labour allows the yard to keep costs down. “Our price is competitive, but we are not low-budget,” he said.

“If you’re not in a rush, you can sell it well to the right people,” said Dragnis. “We had three serious buyers for O’Ptasia before she was launched, but we already had charter bookings lined up.” The first charter clients who were able to enjoy O’Ptasia just after she was delivered in June 2018 reported back their delight, commenting on the beach club and styling. But the best feedback, Dragnis said, concerned comfort levels. “Some customers said that when they were on board, it was so quiet they didn’t even realise she was moving at all.”

Approda a ostia “aquila”, megayacht su cinque piani.

E’ in crociera nel Mediterraneo il megayacht ormeggiato davanti alla spiaggia di Ponente. Proviene da Porto Cervo e Montecarlo

Tappa a Ostia per il megayacht “Aquila” che stamattina ha gettato l’ancora a poche centinaia di metri dalla spiaggia di Ponente. Ne sono sbarcati un gruppo di magnati russi e canadesi che sono in crociera sul Mediterraneo e non potevano perdere una visita al Colosseo ed a San Pietro. Nel pomeriggio, per loro, shopping in via Condotti.

Approda da Porto Cervo a Ostia il megayacht ormeggiato davanti alla spiaggia di Ponente. Il suo noleggio costa un milione di dollari a settimana

L’enorme profilo dello yacht biancoblu lungo 86 metri e largo 15, alto come un palazzo di cinque piani, si è stagliato all’orizzonte di Ostia alle ore 6,55. Il diario di bordo racconta che è arrivato a ormeggiare davanti alla spiaggia di Roma direttamente da Porto Cervo dove era in sosta dal 2 agosto. Prima della fermata sarda, Aquila aveva sostato a Montecarlo .

Costruito nel 2010, “Aquila” è uno yacht a noleggio charter e batte bandiera dell’isola di Man. Il costo del suo “affitto” sfiora il milione di dollari a settimana : un prezzo che in pochi si possono permettere, considerato che può ospitare al massimo 12 ospiti suddivisi in sette cabine.

Per dare un’idea dei comfort offerti ai viaggiatori basti dire che “Aquila” è dotato di un cinema, dell’ascensore per spostarsi da un piano all’altro, di una Spa con due sale massaggi, di una palestra, di un beach club a pelo d’acqua . Per gestire questo albergo extralusso galleggiante, è presente un equipaggio di 28 persone .

La proprietà è della famiglia Walton , una delle più ricche al mondo (patrimonio stimato 149 miliardi di dollari) che acquistò Aquila nel 2014 al prezzo di 150 milioni di dollari.

Nel 2017 è stato giudicato il più bello e confortevole yacht al mondo e gli è stato attribuito il World Superyacht Award.

Dopo l’arrivo dell’elegante yacht dello stilista Valentino ( leggi qui ), Ostia continua ad essere una delle tappe preferite dai navigatori del lusso. A cavallo tra prima e seconda decade di luglio ( leggi qui ) dalla spiaggia i bagnanti hanno potuto apprezzare il profilo minaccioso della  Bleu de Nimes  (72 metri), nave da guerra trasformata in natante extralusso.  Il 30 giugno ( leggi qui ) l’orizzonte era stato caratterizzato dalle sagome del  Madsummer  (95 metri per 250 milioni di valore) e dal  Savannah (83 metri per 100 milioni).

Intorno alle 17,00 il megayacht “Aquila” ha tirato su l’ancora e si è allontanato dal mare di Ostia. Rotta verso sud, probabilmente Capri.

O’Mega (Croatia)

Description.

Designed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 2004, the O’MEGA’s 83m/271 ft custom motor yacht remained one of the best superyachts available in the area.

Megayacht O’MEGA exudes an effortless elegance with architecture designed by the Italian design house Studio Vafiadis, making it the ideal option for a private yacht charter with up to thirty guests.

Design With harmonious lines and concave shapes that define the exterior of O’MEGA’s superyacht, it’s no wonder that it’s immediately recognizable on the water. Outdoor living spaces are mainly located on the aft deck and finished in arctic ice on the upper deck.

There are also plenty of alfresco dining spaces conveniently situated under partial shade, with a plethora of comfortable furnishings to provide various choices for enjoying the environment while you are away by charter. Committed to providing a variety of possibilities to such large charter parties, Studio Vafiadis has fitted O’MEGA ‘s exterior with a handful of lounge-like areas that can be conveniently serviced by the attentive. Also, charterers can comfortably reach the water with a retractable swimming platform coming out of the transom to enjoy the tender and toys on display.

The beautiful interior of Design O’MEGA is primarily influenced by classic aesthetics, with several elegantly designed soft furniture that allows guests to relax and socialize in the utmost comfort. In the case of fabrics from the Rubelli, Lelievre, and Scardigli lines, charterers would undoubtedly feel inspired by their surroundings, both in public and in the guest rooms. Yeah, from the spacious main lounge to the dedicated dining room and the VIP lounge, there’s a sense of sophistication that helps create a pleasant atmosphere.

The home theater built during the refit in 2011 consists of new fixtures and the latest visual and audio technology as a counterpoint to this glamor. Other highlights of O’MEGA ‘s interior include fluted pillars, original oil paintings, and some of the most impressive dark mahogany carpentry found on any superyacht.

Accommodation

As such an enormous vessel with accommodation for up to 30 guests. To do so it has a total of 14 superior rooms. The most impressive of these suites is possibly the master cabin on the upper deck. Offering panoramic views through half-circle windows facing upwards, charterers sharing this cabin can only wake up most fittingly. Decorated with yellow and white onyx, the bathroom adjacent to the suite is the ideal complement to such an expertly designed stateroom.

The 5 VIP cabins, which are also accessible on O’MEGA, are equally well-appointed. For example, the VIP stateroom on the bridge deck has equally excellent views and is slightly smaller than the masters. The additional four doubles and five twins are superbly completed, with spaces lined with entertainment systems and comfortable fixtures.

Entertainment & Leisure

O’MEGA comes with various choices to unwind in style as a superyacht dedicated to hosting larger charter groups. Perhaps the crowning achievement is the upper lounge with a piano bar presided over by a resident pianist to give guests the pleasure of mixing their drinks with suitable background music. The choice of furniture only a short distance away also means that visitors remain together late into the night to enjoy each other’s company to complement their own musical decisions. The home theater is filled with a wide variety of movies to watch in a relaxed environment for those looking to catch up with the new blockbusters. Of course, quick access to the water and a wide variety of water toys and tenders ensure that there’s never a dull moment with the O’MEGA superyacht for those who want to get their entertainment out on the water.

Unique features

Its unique features distinguish superyacht O’MEGA. Both public and private spaces provide a range of amenities and subtle touches to create a unique environment to enjoy a personal yacht charter holiday. Her home theater, a retractable swimming platform, and the upper lounge, in particular, provide an unrivaled setting for relaxing and socializing with your friends.

It is constructed of the steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the Value Superyacht O’MEGA. This tailored yacht is equipped with a state-of-the-art stabilization system that eliminates the impact of roll motion. It features an anchor stabilizer operating at zero speed to improve anchorage and rough water comfort on board.

Mega Yachts: what they are, how much they cost, and how much it costs to maintain them

Mega yachts are luxury vessels that appeared on the market in the 1980s. The first in history was the yacht Nabila, launched in 1979 and owned by the oilman Kashoggi.

Their characteristic, as their name suggests, is that they have dimensions that far exceed the standards of traditional yachts.

In fact, the average length of a super yacht is around 40 metres, but they also go much further, as there are no limits to their size and tonnage other than those established by the wishes and possibilities of their owners.

At the moment, the longest of them all is the Azzam, which measures 180 metres and is also super because of its price (500 million euros) and the amount of fuel it can hold (one million litres).

Summing up.

What are mega yachts?

Mega yachts are yachts of 40 metres and more in length equipped with luxury fittings and options. Some famous mega yachts are:

the Eclipse, Abramovich’s yacht ousted by the Azzam for the record in length, still unsurpassed for its two helicopter landing pads and a missile launcher defence system. The Mirage, the invisible yacht built of glass when viewed from 50 metres away. The Ferretti Group’s Custom Line Navetta 37, capable of reaching a speed of 12 knots despite its large size. CRN Chopi Chopi, the largest mega yacht built in Ancona.

Other super yachts boast indoor swimming pools and beaches, and spaces to make luxury constructions built on land envious.

In the luxury yacht sector, these ‘private ships’ account for about 1/4 of the total market. A portion that is destined to grow and which, predictably soon, will reach 50% of the total.

Italy is one of the countries where the construction of these large luxury yachts will be strategic for the entire nautical sector, and interest in these extraordinary constructions is very high.

But what are the expense items for a potential owner to take into account? Let’s try to see them all.

Mega yacht cost: the complete overview

The cost of these super yachts, as is easy to imagine, varies with their size. If a luxury yacht between 30 and 40 metres, such as the Navetta Custom Line 42, has a list price of 18 million euros, the 100-metre models, on the other hand, come close to, and sometimes exceed, 100 million euros. All the way up to the 500 million of the aforementioned Azzam.

These are true monsters of the sea, such as those built by Blohm + Voss, or signed by designers such as Francesco Paszkowski and Lenard Nuvolari, which require almost unlimited availability if one considers all the expenses they entail.

Important items of expenditure concern the management of personnel, including extra salaries, and that for fittings and furnishings, which will inevitably be up to the quality standards of design and prestige that characterise any yacht or luxury mega-yacht down to the last detail.

Let’s take a look at what the most ordinary expenses related to the maintenance of a super yacht reach.

There is certainly no shortage of yachts for sale even when it comes to mega yachts, but it might be useful to know that prices drop a lot when you opt for second-hand.

The choice of models available is wide here as well.

Mega yachts: how much does it cost to maintain them

The total expected expenditure is about 10 per cent of the purchase value, to which hauling, parking and crew costs must be added.

Then there are ordinary maintenance costs that protect against humidity, sun and salt, and extraordinary maintenance costs that take into account other minor extraordinary incidents.

Indicatively, we can assume a cost of 12,000 euro for hauling and launching and another 10,000 for engine maintenance.

Finally, the purchase of accessories to improve the yacht’s condition will also affect the total expenditure.

Mooring costs are also very significant. The most expensive marina by far is Capri, where daily costs are even double those of Port de Saint Tropez: 2585 euro per day for a 40+ metre yacht in high season. The Italian leader is followed by the marinas of Porto Cervo and Portofino, where, however, the cost does not fall below 2,000 euros.

Here, too, costs rise as the size increases, provided, however, that mooring is allowed.

These include the Mirabello marina in La Spezia, which is certainly one of the most suitable marinas for mooring megayachts – it was chosen by Giorgio Armani for his M/Y Main.

Generally, however, as already mentioned, not all marinas allow large luxury yachts: and from 70 metres in length onwards the only option is to anchor offshore.

Billionaire fights to dock his boat on water behind his house. His 164-foot boat, that is.

The love of the water, and a mega-yacht to enjoy it, is putting one resident at odds with village of north palm beach leaders..

For some people, the ultimate Florida lifestyle is a waterfront house , a private dock and a boat parked next to it. But what if that boat is a mega-yacht , and the mega-yacht stretches 164 feet?

That's the conundrum facing the Village of North Palm Beach.

This tiny community in northern Palm Beach County, with only 13,000 full-time residents, has an identity so tied to the water that a ship's steering wheel is the village's emblem.

But it's that love of the water that is putting one resident at odds with village leaders.

For the past several years, homeowner Michael Bozutto has been battling the village for the right to park his 164-foot Westport, dubbed Honey, behind a home he owns at 932 Shore Drive.

The house, built in 1961, is a one-story, ranch-style property with three bedrooms on a half-acre lot. Bozzuto paid $840,247 for the house in 2014, according to Palm Beach County property records.

Lawsuit rooted in dispute over where to dock mega-yacht

What makes this plain house special is its location. It's on a rare corner bordered on the north and east by navigable waters that provide access to the Atlantic Ocean via the Lake Worth Inlet. The east-facing dock is large enough to accommodate Bozzuto's motor yacht.

Since Bozutto bought Honey for an undisclosed sum a decade ago, he mostly has parked it at the Old Port Cove Marina, near Tiger Woods' 155-foot showy mega-yacht, ironically dubbed Privacy.

More recently, Bozzuto has wanted to park Honey alongside his Shore Drive house, one of four houses he owns in the village. While Bozzuto keeps some personal property at the Shore Drive house, he lives at a house he owns at Harbour Isles Court.

Village officials warned Bozzuto he can't park Honey at 932 Shore Drive because boats can only be parked on docks behind houses that are occupied by the homeowner.

But village rules do not define the word "occupied." For instance, the rules do not state that occupied means the house is a residence where the owner lives. Village rules also contain no restrictions on the size of boats that can be kept at private docks.

After years of pushing back against what he believes are fuzzy rules, Bozzuto in March filed a lawsuit against the village.

He alleged the municipality is illegally depriving him of his property rights because nothing in the village code prevents him from mooring Honey at his house. He is asking a Palm Beach County Circuit Court judge to rule that he has a constitutional right to dock Honey there.

Gregory Coleman, Bozzuto's West Palm Beach attorney, said the village has plenty of waterfront homes with yachts parked behind them. But Coleman said the village is illegally blocking Bozzuto from docking Honey at his house because the village is bending to pressure from a handful of neighbors who think the boat is too big.

The selective enforcement is wrong, said Coleman, a former president of the Florida Bar.

"He's a very under-the-radar guy who doesn't cause anybody any problems," Coleman said of Bozzuto. "He pays his property taxes, and he wants to be left alone by the village of North Palm Beach. Unfortunately, they are singling Mike out."

Neither Leonard Rubin, the village's longtime attorney, nor Village Manager Chuck Huff responded to requests for comment.

Eric Stettin, a Fort Lauderdale-based attorney who is representing the village in the Bozzuto lawsuit, said he could not comment on pending litigation.

What good is a man's castle if he can't have a boat in his moat?

Coleman's lawsuit describes the conflict as a battle over property rights, but real estate and yachting experts say it's also a sign of the times.

As wealthy new residents pour into the county wanting all the perks of the Sunshine State, they want a boat to go along with their waterfront homes and golf club memberships. Some longtime residents fear Palm Beach County is turning into a playground for billionaires, to the detriment of everyday people who also want to live in sunshine and peace.

This conflict between Old Florida and new money is an ever-present tension, but even seasoned yacht brokers say they've never seen interest in luxury yachts quite as strong as it is now.

"What we've seen in the marketplace right after COVID in the yachting industry, and especially the superyacht segment, is the most incredible growth ever seen in the history of yachting to date," said Shannon McCoy, a luxury yacht advisor and broker with Worth Avenue Yachts in Palm Beach.

"A lot of people are moving here with serious money," added Pascal Savoy, U.S. managing director of Camper & Nicholsons International yacht brokers in Fort Lauderdale.

While in the past Palm Beach County was not considered lively enough for some buyers, Savoy said the county's growing sophistication is putting it on the map in a way never seen before.

"It's a mini-Monaco for us," Savoy said.

Prices for mega-yachts can range from $18 million to $60 million, or many times that, for the largest and most decked-out mega-yachts, Savoy said.

While some yachts can be glitzy, a 164-foot Westport is considered a more low-profile boat, Savoy added.

Michael Bozzuto's interests: Houses, boats and philanthropy

Bozzuto is no newcomer to North Palm Beach. He's been a resident of the village for 20 years.

He is the billionaire owner of a family-owned supermarket wholesaler in Connecticut, and an investor and philanthropist who likes to collect houses and yachts, Coleman said.

In addition to the four North Palm Beach houses and several yachts he owns, Bozzuto in February paid a whopping $31.1 million for a house in the Town of Palm Beach Shores. The house, which has two docks, sits just north of the Palm Beach/Lake Worth Inlet.

Coleman said there is plenty of room for other boaters to navigate the waterway when Honey is parked at the Shore Drive house in North Palm Beach. And while other people may not have as large a yacht, there are other sizeable yachts parked on docks behind other North Palm Beach homes, too, he added.

At a 2017 village council meeting, then-Mayor Darryl Aubrey commented on the issue, according to the complaint.

"When I didn't live here full time, I had a boat sitting in my dock, I was gone nine months of the year. I don't see how you can say that someone has to be in a residence year-round, seems to be some interpretation of occupant, there would be an enormous number of violations," Aubrey said.

Another member of the village council asked if the village had a definition now, the complaint said.

Rubin, the village attorney, replied: "No, we don't," according to the lawsuit.

Palm Beach County's waterways run deep, and they are popular

The yacht docking dispute is particularly timely, given the scarcity of dock space for boats of all sizes.

The most convenient place to park a boat is on the water behind a house, brokers say. But not every waterway or channel can accommodate the draft, or depth, of a mega-yacht.

However, the dock behind Bozzuto's Shore Drive house can.

Not only is the Westport not known for its deep hulls, but the waterway also is typical of northern Palm Beach County, which boasts deep water and easy access to the ocean via the Lake Worth Inlet, said Coleman, a lifelong boater.

"In Palm Beach County, they have deeper water, and it allows people to have larger yachts," Savoy agreed.

But not every waterway is deep enough for every boat.

McCoy said she specializes in helping advise potential yacht owners about the county's varied water depths before they buy a house, if they plan to dock their yacht behind it.

If yacht owners don't have a private dock, the other option is a marina. But marina space is hard to find, with many dock berths reserved for months in advance, McCoy said.

Despite the challenges of owning a boat and finding a place to dock it, yacht brokers say demand continues.

They see interest continuing from business executives moving here with their families as they relocate their companies to Palm Beach County. There's also a growing demand for yachts among female buyers, McCoy added.

They also see younger mega-yacht buyers, some even in their early 30s. This is in sharp contrast to the mostly older buyers in the past, Savoy said.

Palm Beach County may not be as go-go as Miami-Dade County when it comes to showy ships, but if interest continues, "it's coming," Savoy said. "You're going to attract bigger yachts."

Put another way: "No one needs a boat, but everyone needs a boat," McCoy said. "It's the ultimate lifestyle."
