Yachts are some of the most expensive investments you can make. While most people buy cars, only the richest can afford a yacht. A yacht is not only a status symbol, but it is also a functional recreational mode of transportation. While most yachts are already built with leisure in mind, there are a couple of upgrades that can make your experience even more enjoyable.
As with all upgrades, there are many to choose from, but not all upgrades are going to be worth their price. Even when you don’t mind spending money, if there’s one thing that any reasonable person dislikes, it is the waste of time and money. So, what are the yacht upgrades you might want to spend your hard-earned money on?
Built-In Cooler Box
If there’s one thing that almost always makes yacht parties more fun, it’s cold liquor. Built-in coolers are the best way to store and transport your personal liquor while also allowing you to enjoy them chilled. But coolers aren’t just for liquor. You can store meat and other food items that need to be refrigerated. Who doesn’t want a barbeque on a yacht, after all?
Wakeboard Tower
High-end yachts are bound to come with powerful engines and these powerful engines not only provide fuel efficiency and power, they also pave the way for fun upgrades like a wakeboard tower. Wakeboarding is much like surfing, except that instead of simply riding the waves, you’re being towed by a high-powered boat. Wakeboard towers like the ones from Aerial Wakeboarding are some of the best upgrades for someone who wants a bit of adrenaline during a yacht cruise.
Leather Upholstery
Leather upholstery is not only an aesthetic upgrade. It is also functional because leather is much more resistant to stains versus cloth. Leather is also much more durable and it requires much less maintenance than traditional cloth upholstery, which makes it worth the investment.
Water Filtration System
An independent water filtration system on your yacht is a safety upgrade that ensures that you have potable water when you need it, especially when you’re unsure of the water you’re about to drink. This also eliminates the need to bring bottled water on long trips, which also means that you lessen the waste that you produce during your trips.
Solar Power
We rely on our technology heavily. Whether it’s a smartphone, a laptop, or even entertainment appliances. On-board solar panels have improved drastically over the years and if you’re able to install the correct battery, power inverter, and controller, your solar panels might even be efficient enough to power things like flatscreen TVs, LED lights, and many other devices. This is especially useful when you’re going on a long cruise.
There are many upgrades that you can install on your yacht, but these are by far, the ones that are worth the money you’re willing to spend. As previously mentioned, a lot of people are comfortable with spending a lot of money, but nobody wants to waste money. Some of these upgrades may be pricey, but they are definitely not a waste of money.
