These yachts range from 25 to 200 meters with 3 up to 12 ensuite cabins with all amenities such as jacuzzi, pool, sauna, massage room, cinema, gaming room, which gives the clients entertainment as well as relaxation. Some of the yachts even have a helipad.

The price of a superyacht is usually over €100,000 and it is calculated per week. It can go up to €3M per week.
