What Factors Are Boosting Demand Growth Of Yacht Charters?

“Yacht Charter Revenue Increasing Due to Rising Customer Interest in Maritime Tourism”

Rising customer income and increased interest in maritime tourism are likely to fuel the yacht charter business. Recreational boating has become increasingly popular in recent years, opening the path for the growth of yacht charter enterprises.

The marine recreation and entertainment business makes a lot of money from water sports. Sailing, windsurfing, boating, water scooter rides, parasailing, and jet skiing are just a few of the sports accessible along coasts, and they are becoming increasingly popular. The bulk of seaside tourist resorts and hotels now offer such services.

A growing number of holidaymakers are looking for fun activities with their families and friends. As a result, the yacht charter sector is likely to benefit from corporate programs, government programs, and initiatives aimed at promoting maritime tourism.

“Boat Shows Becoming Beneficial Place for Yacht Bookings”

Dealers and businesses have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to gain substantial sales and enhance their brand's market reach during boat shows. As a result, yacht manufacturers are investing a lot of work into showcasing their new yachts at major boat events around the world to boost their visibility among potential buyers and in the industry.

As a result, the yachting industry is growing. There are several advantages to yacht charter bookings at a boat show rather than online. At events, special bargains are frequently available that are not available at other times. To complete a sale, companies are now more inclined to haggle over costs or give reductions. As a result, these factors contribute to the expansion of the yachting industry.

Which Factor Is Affecting Yacht Charter Sales?

“High Yacht Charter Cost May Hinder Market Growth”

The cost of chartering a yacht is determined by several factors, including the charter destination, yacht type, local and cross-border taxes, and basic fees. As a result, rental rates for these charters vary greatly. Aside from that, private yacht rental can cost anywhere from US$ 10,000 per week and sailing yacht cruises to over US$ 200,000 per week for the most luxury charter.

There are also some hidden charges and non-mandatory expenses, such as tax and other charges, allowances, insurance, and crew gratuity, which can range from 15% to 30% of the base price. These expenses represent an impediment for many clients in developing economies, limiting market expansion even further.

Which Regional Markets Will Be Fruitful For Yacht Charter Providers?

It's worth emphasising that, given the nature of the industry, many people believe that once the pandemic situation eases out totally, the charter market will quickly recover. Although it is difficult to predict the pandemic's duration, the advent of COVID-19 vaccines in early 2021 is anticipated to benefit the travel and tourism business.
