    We will all define luxury in different ways, I think some Brands claim to be luxury builders when they aren't, but I'm interested in everyone's answers and input.

    Which yacht do you rate as the most luxurious yacht under 24m?

    Thanks, should be a fun question to answer, considering the size restriction.

    Hi,
    I wonder if you have looked at one of our locally made Guernsey yachts called Aquastar 74. They are pretty much custom made semi-displacement hull with a trans-Atlantic range. They may not be the prettiest boat in the marina but its based on a pilot boat hull and will take sea conditions you probably will not wish to see. Dave

    Hi, thanks, I'd not seen it before. Looks a very nice interior too.

    For me the definition of a luxury yacht would include an environment with above average:

    Privacy, such as adequate distance or obstruction of sound between owners cabin and other cabins. Different areas that

    Space, such as a shower two people could share, good sized bed, and space for storage and preperation good food as well spaces for relaxing. Storage space for clothes.

    Facilities and possible activites, such as having space for a jetski/diving/fishing gear, a luxury size TV.

    Little compromise on materials used.

    Build quailty.

    I'm not sure why, but I find this thread, this question, a little awkward. The world's most luxurious yacht under 24m? Well, luxury is subjective.

    Your subsequent, follow-up criteria is more along the lines of world's best floor plan. That not luxury. That's space utilization.

    That's the idea. Because it's subjective it's interesting seeing what each of us comes out with. I wasn't narrowing the criteria by adding my own definition, merley adding to the discussion with my opinion. All the yachts suggested except Riva were new to me so it's great to see everyones interpretation of what a luxury small yacht is and learn about the builders.

    yacht "JARIYA" launched last year.

    What are we looking for????

    Hi
    This is a subjective thread, your idea of a 'luxury yacht' may be my idea of pure posey Gin-Joke hell. Real deluxe boating should be to get away for life just for you, not tethered to a dock.

    Yes I love the Riva and the McMullen maybe not so much the Viking but a Jim Smith 72 may just do it!

    Will this question ever be answered??????
