“…An increase in purchasing power is one of the main factors that cause increases in demand for larger, faster, and more comfortable yachts. Thus, small and simple yachts became large and more technologically developed than ever before (Fricke and Bronsart, 2012). However, physical and physiological comforts are associated with volume arrangement.…”

“…Yachts are vessels built not only for cruising but also for entertainment or racing. The term yacht was initially used to address the sailing world but then extended to cover motorboats which are being used for pleasure cruises (Fricke and Bronsart, 2012). There is an interchangeable use of the terms for yacht and boat, but size and luxury are assumed as the distinctive factors for the yachts.…”

Yachts are vessels built for especially recreational cruises or racing using sails or engines. These types of vessels are built for private use or charter activities and are generally associated with wealth, luxury, better living conditions, society, and of course remarkable expenses while operating. In literature, there are limited studies concerned with the yachts in terms of their perceptions. This study tried to figure out the perceptions of yachts by non-owners. A face-to-face survey consisting of 28 questions (yes/no, priority order, and Likert scale) was performed for 251 participants. According to the results, the yacht was perceived as a luxury vessel that shows better living rather than necessity. Furthermore, the length of the yacht, especially when the super or mega-yachts were considered, was interpreted as an indicator that shows the social belonging and economic purchasing power of the surveyed people. Composite is the lesser-known construction material that attendees preferred while steel and wood are the first two. The Interior of the yacht attracts more attention than the exterior while imported materials or goods are the prominent choice for interiors. Functionality and safety were identified as two of the main properties of the yacht.

“…And this can be achieved by designing new shapes and lay outs and using new construction materials to form a better structure [3]. Accordingly, Fricke and Bronsart [4] remark the importance of design as saying "Vibration and noise are important design criteria". But also according to them theoretical prediction of noise is not fully trusty.…”
