🚤 The State of the Yacht Industry: Inflation, Rising Costs, and Changing Demographics 🌊 The yacht industry is facing tough times, and in this video, we break down exactly why. With over 30 years in the industry, we've witnessed both the highs and lows, but the current "perfect storm" of economic factors—rising inflation, higher interest rates, increased insurance costs due to storms, and the rapid spike in boat prices—has made this downturn particularly challenging. 🔹 Why are yacht prices so high? Learn about how the fallout from COVID-19 has caused the price of new catamarans to soar by 25-30%, making boat ownership unreachable for many who once could afford it. 🔹 Shifting Demographics & Boating Experiences The next generation of boaters is looking for the experience of yachting without the burden of private ownership. We explore the growing demand for yacht charters, managed boat programs, and crewed experiences that offer adventure without the responsibility. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just looking for a relaxing escape, charter programs are becoming the go-to choice for those who want to enjoy life on the water. 🔹 What’s Next for the Yacht Market? As the market shifts, larger yachts like the highly anticipated Bali 5.8 are set to make waves. Set to debut at the Annapolis Boat Show, the Bali 5.8 offers luxury features—spacious layouts, innovative designs, and competitive pricing—making it a game-changer in the 60-foot class. It comes in at an impressive price point, significantly lower than other yachts in the same range, offering unbeatable value for buyers. 🔹 Luxury for Less: Crewed Yacht Charters The rise of crewed yacht charters is another trend reshaping the industry. Discover how the experience of chartering by the cabin on yachts like the Bali 5.8 is becoming more attractive to travelers who want a personalized cruise-like experience but with far more exclusivity and access to private beaches. 🎉 Join Us at the Annapolis Boat Show! We’re excited to unveil the new Bali 5.8 at the show, and we’ll be hosting an exclusive launch party. Don't miss your chance to see this stunning yacht firsthand and learn more about the future of the yachting industry.

See you at the Annapolis Boat Show! #YachtIndustry #Catamarans #AnnapolisBoatShow #Sailing #YachtCharter #Bali58 #LuxuryYachts #BoatLife We’re excited to announce the official name of our catamaran: Snapdragon! A big thank you to everyone who participated and shared such creative and thoughtful name ideas. After much consideration, we’ve chosen “Snapdragon,” submitted by Sharon Shields from Kemah, Texas.
