Part of the appeal of owning a yacht is the privacy and solitude that comes with escaping onto the ocean, leaving behind your stress at the dock. For many beginning boaters or owners of medium-sized vessels, going too big can mean the need for a captain which changes the overall experience.
The "sweet spot" for a lot of owners in the 50 to 60 foot range as it's big enough to feel like a true yacht, but small enough to cruise, manage, and dock by yourself.
"With joystick control and advanced bow thrusters, it's easy for a novice boater to quickly learn to drive a 50 foot or larger sized yacht," said Jay Hendrix, Vice President of SI Yachts. "We certainly see this segment as one of the most popular in our markets and with our brands. Whether you are after a 54-foot Viking Convertible for offshore fishing or one of our flybridge Princess models for cruising, most shipyards are building something for this category."
If you have questions about 50-to-60 foot yachts, want to sell your current boat, or are looking to purchase a new one, you can call our main office at (718), 984-7676, email us at Sales@SIYachts.com, or contact us at one of our 9 locations in the Northeast and Florida.
