What can you expect on board a superyacht for over $1 million per week?

You spend a lot of money on a yacht charter, and you might have a perfectly logical question: What can you expect aboard a charter superyacht? It must be said that all superyachts presented in this article have a wide range of activities and entertainment options. Aboard such superyachts, you will often find a gym to keep fit while you relax. And if working with heavy weights is not your favorite sport, yachts often have golf, soccer, or basketball courts.

Charter yachts offer a wide range of options for entertainment. In particular, you can often find movie theaters on board. Be sure: you will never get bored aboard a charter yacht.

How much is the most expensive yacht?

It costs a lot of money to spend at least a week on any of the boats mentioned in this article. Therefore, you might be wondering how much the priciest yacht in the world costs. The basic answer is $4.8 billion. The lavish superyacht History Supreme is the topic at hand. She is undoubtedly the most opulent superyacht in the world based on her pricing.
Indeed, the luxury of this superyacht corresponds to its price. To begin with, the hull of History Supreme was made from 10,000 pounds of solid gold and platinum. She is only 30 meters long and was designed by British yacht designer Stuart Hughes.
The luxurious finish of this yacht easily surpasses even the most daring expectations. In the master bedroom is a statue made of the bone of a long-extinct Tyrannosaurus rex. The bedroom wall is made entirely of meteorite stones, and to further amaze you, the master bedroom also features a panoramic 24-karat gold wall aquarium! Just the materials used in the construction of the yacht tell us about her luxury. But you can be sure that everything you need for the comfort of her owner is on board.

Why are these yachts so expensive to rent?

You may be wondering why it costs so much to charter all these luxury superyachts, and whether the price is justified. You have to understand, the cost of a charter is based on several factors. First, don’t forget about the crew. Often it can be dozens of highly skilled people, all of whom need to be paid a salary. The crew is a fundamental aspect without which no sailing is possible. Secondly, do not underestimate the interest of an owner. Luxury superyachts can cost hundreds of millions of dollars or even more, and the owner naturally wants to earn on this investment. You should not forget about the consumables. A yacht needs fuel to sail. All the food, drink, and alcohol that you will consume during your charter vacation also costs a considerable amount of money. Maintenance of the yacht itself is not cheap either. Consider rental space on the pier, which can also not be cheap, especially in the top tourist areas of the planet. Thus, a significant portion of the money received from you by the owner will go only for the maintenance and servicing of the yacht. So it is not surprising that the owners raise their prices.
