In days gone by, plucky explorers would endure the most testing conditions, from sleeping in freezing tents to living off meagre rations. Now, however, wealthy travellers have taken to enjoying adventures in the most lavish surroundings, thanks to the rise of the highly developed superyacht.
According to the
Times, recent years have seen a growing demand for 100-metre plus superyachts equipped to traverse even the most inaccessible parts of the world. A new study by Boat International Media reports that 23 privately commissioned yachts measuring at least 100 metres are currently under construction; a rise from 21 last year and 18 in 2018.
