Sports yachts - go faster, see more
Published 13 February 2024
The maths is very simple. If you cruise at 20 knots, you can cover twice as much ocean and take in twice as many ports as you could cruising at 10 knots. For 30 knots it’s a multiple of three
Another advantage of performance yachts is that their fast, planing hulls generally have very shallow draft of less than 2m (6.6ft). That means you can access those special, hidden-away ports and anchorages that larger yachts with deeper drafts simply can’t visit.
This makes these performance yachts perfectly suited to cruising coasts with an abundance of quaint historic ports like the French and Italian Rivieras, both hugely popular superyacht haunts. They’re also in a league of their own when it comes to clusters of heavenly islands like you find in the Caribbean and Bahamas, Greece, Turkey and the Adriatic.
We have a selection of these yachts keenly for sale, many with recently reduced asking prices, so offers are invited. Let’s open the taps!
