Luxury boats: what are the most popular models?
Yachts
The luxury yacht is undoubtedly the most luxurious pleasure boat. And the largest: the largest yacht in the world is more than 180 metres long! Originally, there were two types of luxury yacht on the market: sailing yachts and motor yachts. Today, the term is mainly used to refer to a motor yacht. From 7 metres in length, a boat can be described as a luxury yacht. However, popular yachts are usually longer than 30 metres: a 40-metre unit is sometimes referred to as a super-yacht and a vessel over 50 metres long is sometimes referred to as a luxury yacht.
Super-yachts and luxury yachts like those available at
prestige-yachts.com for instance are very luxurious and look like great floating palaces. They offer a multitude of services and equipment: sports halls, discotheques, cinemas, SPAs, swimming pools (indoor and outdoor depending on the model), conference rooms, submarine tender (on the most prestigious ranges).
Barges
Initially, barges were river freight vessels adapted to the Freycinet gauge. The first models had a wooden hull but little by little, the constructions became metallic. Freycinet barges traditionally measure 38.5 metres long and 5.05 metres wide. Today, some barges have been converted into pleasure craft for leisure or living purposes. These boats offer a comfortable interior and allow you to live on rivers all over the world.
Sailing boats
Sailing boats are the most popular pleasure craft in the world of navigation. First means of medium and long distance transport, today they are elegant and prestigious boats used by all sailing enthusiasts. The top-of-the-range models also meet the requirements of buyers in search of excellence.
