What is a Planning Yacht?
Planning yachts are motor vessels designed to rise and glide on top of the water at high speeds, rather than plowing through it like displacement yachts. Thanks to powerful engines and streamlined hulls, these yachts can achieve speeds of 25–50+ knots, offering thrilling performance and unmatched responsiveness.

They are ideal for:
  • Short- to mid-range cruising
  • Island hopping in the Mediterranean, Adriatic or Caribbean
  • Stylish and fast arrival at exclusive marinas and best anchorages 
  • Private use or luxury charter operations
Why Choose a Planning Yacht?
  • Speed: Planning yachts deliver top speeds far beyond traditional displacement vessels, allowing you to cover long distances in record time.
  • Agility: Designed for maneuverability and quick response, they’re a pleasure to helm even at high speed.
  • Sleek Aesthetics: Modern, sharp hull lines, low-profile superstructures, and bold detailing make planning yachts a visual standout.
  • Compact Luxury: These vessels often pack superyacht-level comfort into a manageable size, including luxury interiors, fairly spacious sun decks, jacuzzis, and state-of-the-art tech.
  • Flexibility: Excellent for both private ownership and high-end chartering, especially in popular cruising regions with shorter distances between destinations.
