According to statistics, the number of recreational vessels registered within the US began to dip after around 2005 but has once again been on the rise since 2014.  Today, there are millions of recreational boats registered and being used within the country and just as many Americans partaking in the pleasures of seafaring.

Investing in a Luxury Vessel

If you’re one of those fortunate enough to consider investing in your own vessel, you’ve got a number of options open to you. These include motor yachts, catamarans and of course, luxury sailboats. With all these options open, what would you choose?

Though any of these vessels would be a fine choice, we’re going to elaborate on the benefits of investing in a luxury sailboat over the course of this blog.

The Benefits of Owning a Luxury Sailboat

When it comes to owning a luxury sailboat, there are numerous benefits that can be brought to light. Where some of them are the sort that you may even enjoy to a degree with other boating vessels, there are others that are unique to luxury sailboats in particular.

Without further delay, let’s delve into the benefits of investing in and owning your own luxury sailboat.

The Basics Across the Board Benefits

There are certain benefits that you would enjoy regardless of which luxury seafaring vessel you had to buy, luxury sailboats included. Some of these include the opportunity to explore the seas, get away from the hustle bustle of day to day life and relax upon the cool blue ocean with friends and family or on your own.

Owning your own seafaring vessel allows you the mobility to visit locations you might never have has access to via any commercial means. If you’re into fishing, your vessel becomes your passport into some serious sportfishing activities, tournaments included.

You could visit places on holiday and never need to book a hotel or rest house because your boat would offer you most of the amenities you would need and more. Your boat can even serve as a second home or a regular recreation space for the weekends! We could go on and on about the general benefits of owning a seafaring vessel such as a luxury sailboat but we think you get the picture.

We’re now going to elaborate on some of the things that make luxury sailboats particularly unique.

Physical Health Benefits

A recent blog published by Health Fitness Revolution elaborates on key health benefits associated exclusively with sailing. These include benefits to cardiovascular fitness, improvement in muscle strength and improved agility.

Unlike motor yachts, running a luxury sailboat does take a degree of physical labor. Even modern luxury sailboats with systems designed to reduce work and make handling easy, a little work does need to be put in.

Sailing your own sailboat regularly is bound to improve your physical health in the ways described above immensely but that’s not all!

Mental Health Benefits

Sailing does not just benefit your physical health. It benefits your mental health and emotional wellness immensely too. Sailboats do not have engines or parts that rattle and hum. They are comparatively nonintrusive and make for a brilliant way to just get away and clear your head. Being out at sea on a luxury sailboat relieves stress, helps balance your serotonin levels and allows you the mental room to think and process.

You would think the mental health and physical benefits were enough of a selling point but there’s more.

Intellect and Communication

Sailing a boat requires a degree of intellectual sharpening. It also often requires that you communicate with your crew and others on board. For this reason, owning your own luxury sailboat allows you to exercise both your intellect, ability to manage and organize and your communication skills, improving the lot.

Ecological Benefits

If you’re someone who is environmentally conscious but also has a love for the ocean, buying a luxury sailboat is the best way forward. As you probably know, sailboats run on wind power and do not require fossil fuels to get from Point A to Point B. When it comes to sea travel, a sailboat is probably the most eco-friendly means of transport.

Costs

Since your sailboat does not run on fossil fuel and relies on the power of wind, you get to travel great distances for hardly a fraction of the cost you may otherwise have to pay. Sure this would take a degree of sailors prowess and a capable crew, however if the same are present, you could sail halfway around the world without worrying about fuel expenditure!

Real Adventure

There are many of us who are creatures of comfort. A good time for us means zero work and likely all the luxury. At the same time, there are others—those of us who appreciate the finer things in life but also have a love for adventure, challenges and the outdoors.

We like testing ourselves, learning new things, pushing our limits and being close to the outdoors. If you feel you can relate to the latter, you probably won’t enjoy a motor yacht as much as a luxury sailboat.

A luxury sailboat will offer you all your creature comforts while allowing you the room and space to really get in touch with your primal nature loving side.
