The impact of tourism on the luxury shipyard industry
When we talk about nautical tourism the superyacht industry and lifestyle are high on the list of must-haves and things to do and experience, and for good reasons too. The global luxury superyacht market value is considered at USD 7.67 billion for the year 2023 and is expected to reach an impressive market value of USD 13.67 billion by 2030, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
So, how does this impact the tourism industry?
In these high-end, continuously developing countries along the Mediterranean Sea waters, the development of superyacht tourism is advantageously linked to the ever-increasing and thriving shipbuilding industry, superyacht refit and maintenance services port side, and the rise in public water sports also shows significant growth.
We also take note that, while the majority of superyacht owners do not purchase these luxurious toys as a means of making money or hoping to turn a profit, as most superyachts lose most of their value within the first three years of purchase, they are not lost to bringing in some financial aid. Those on the wealthier end of the spectrum, and many tourists who enjoy the finer things in life, enjoy chartering these luxury mini cruise liners as a means to enjoy a summer vacation. To take a trip with friends and family, or even host an occasion without the need to invest a lump sum of money to purchase one, not to mention the time frame it takes to refurbish and personalise a superyacht or more so build one from scratch.
Many port-side restaurants and establishments make the most of having these top-of-the-line yachts moored on their doorstep and they certainly bring in the crowds looking to see a glimpse of how the world of the superyacht owners live, if even only for a moment, all the while sipping fruity sangria and enjoying freshly made tapas.
At the end of the day
Purchasing and owning a superyacht combines the luxury of living with the open waters of the ocean and ensuring it is maintained and serviced extensively while in port making Tarragona not only the top location for quality amenities but PTW Shipyards the go-to professional brand to make it happen seamlessly. Here’s to smooth sailing and great adventures.
