Yacht ownership: Why it’s exciting – and when it’s not

Monaco-based academics, Dr Phil Klaus and Dr Annalisa Tarquini, from the Phil Klaus Institute and the International University of Monaco respectively, have conducted research into the experience of yacht ownership and charter, from the client's perspective. This is the first study of its kind, looking into the experience of superyacht ownership, to determine where the experiential highlights lay – looking particularly at planning, purchase, ownership and charter.
