Superyacht Lifecycle

Expats used to be the driving force behind the yacht market in Asia but more and more Asian nationals are now entering the market. With offices in Singapore, Shanghai and Hong Kong, the Brookes Bell teams have witnessed growth in these three markets first hand.

What many Superyacht owners understandably don’t factor into their plans is a contingency for problem solving when things go wrong. When dealing with such a complex feat of design and engineering, there will undoubtedly be some darker times during Superyacht ownership – it can’t all be plain sailing. 

Now with the size of Superyachts increasing and designs becoming ever more ambitious, and with cruise ships investing more in the quality of the onboard passenger experience – these two types of vessel are converging in a way that would not have been previously imagined.
