Forecasting a second wave: are millionaires and billionaires buying
more superyachts?
The spread of the COVID-19 virus has impacted numerous sectors around the world, from the automotive to aviation. Yet amid this global pandemic, some industries have continued to grow – such as the yachting industry. The global yacht industry is currently estimated at 64.1 billion US dollars in 2020 and is projected to grow to 84.7 billion US dollars by 2027, according to a recent report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Offering an ideal luxurious, private and secure way to explore overseas destinations, more and more millionaires and billionaires are purchasing superyachts. Anticipating a second wave of yachting on the rise, several established shipyards have begun building superyachts on speculation, including Admiral Yachts, the leading brand from The Italian Sea Group.
One of its most exciting concepts currently on offer is Galileo 80, a stunning 80m superyacht. Featuring Admiral’s signature cutting-edge design, her clean lines and sleek profile are sure to turn heads no matter where she goes.
