luxury yachts

Billionaires' sea vessels

Luxury yachts are large, privately owned pleasure boats equipped with high-end amenities—multiple cabins, crew quarters, entertainment systems, and often features like hot tubs or helipads.

The term distinguishes vessels built for comfort and status from working boats or modest recreational craft: They chartered a luxury yacht for the Mediterranean cruise.

Ownership signals considerable wealth.
