“…As our search for literature in the interlinked space of yachting and wellness produced very few peer-reviewed references, the authors deployed searches that included books and edited book chapters, news media and magazines as well as yachting and wellness business websites to facilitate an in-depth analysis. As wellness is part of the research domain for tourism and leisure activities, this field has experienced an increasing number of scoping review studies on different topics such as glacier tourism (Welling et al, 2015), sports tourism (Yamashita, 2022), marine tourism (Spinelli and Benevolo, 2022) and active outdoor recreation (Andkjaer and Arvidsen, 2015). To add to convergence of the yachting leisure and wellness topics, a grey literature search was conducted using the Google, Edge and Opera browsers for yachting businesses, newspaper and magazine articles that promote or engage in some form of wellness initiative.…”

PurposeThis study aims to advance the scholarship of yachting in the context of wellness by exploring the following research question: in what ways is wellness created and experienced by luxury yachting?Design/methodology/approachSince the extant journal literature from 2012–2023 in peer-reviewed journals is limited on the topic that links luxury yachting and wellness, the authors drew on other sources such as books and chapters in edited volumes. A third layer of material was drawn from the grey literature such as mass media and business websites. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) method, the authors examined 18 publications relating to the intersectionality of yachting and wellness.FindingsManufacturing and charter companies in the yachting industry are focused on creating and emphasizing features onboard that create a self-caring and wellness experience. The yacht design, spatial influences and the leisure time spent at destinations on anchor can also add value to wellness. This study enables us to understand the kinds of signals received by manufacturers and the media from yachting clients. These signals relate to the types of wellness needs and activities, as well as how crews and chefs create the best hospitality experiences for their clients.Originality/valueGiven the scarce and niche nature of research on yachting and wellness, this paper explores future research areas in wellness through luxury yachting which include hospitality aspects of creating and co-creating wellness experience on board the yacht and viewing yachting as a lifestyle necessity product for all levels of wealth and well-being.

“…However, the rapid expansion of this sector also brings numerous challenges, including environmental degradation (Coghlan et al, 2011), climate change impacts (Karani & Failler, 2020), and the need for sustainable management practices (Burgin & Hardiman, 2015). To better understand the complexities of marine tourism and foster its sustainable development, it is essential to delve into the literature and identify the key areas of research that have shaped the field (Spinelli & Benevolo, 2022). The previous research underscores the multifaceted nature of marine tourism, Krelling et al (2017) demonstrated the economic implications of marine debris on tourism revenue.…”

This systematic literature review investigates marine tourism within the scope of business management areas, shedding light on diverse industry dimensions, from environmental impacts to economic valuations. Utilizing the Scopus database and spanning a decade (2012-2022), this research meticulously sifts through an initial bulk of identified articles, ultimately honing in on 37 pertinent papers through a criterion that ensured relevance via aspects like authorship, title, publication year, journal, and citation count. With a structured mapping approach, the research categorizes marine tourism in business management into basic, emerging, motor, and niche themes, revealing critical insights and articulating states of the art in several key facets of marine tourism. Among these are Limited Focus on Sustainable Practices, Under-Explored Technology Utilization, Insufficient Market Segmentation Studies, and Minimal Research on Crisis Management. The study further crafts a future research agenda, considering pivotal domains such as sustainability, technology, market dynamics, crisis management, and community engagement. Serving as a potential cornerstone for forthcoming studies, this research not only maps out future investigations in marine tourism within business management but also highlights themes ripe for deeper, more detailed exploration, thereby enriching the academic vista in marine tourism within the realm of business management.

“…Despite the adverse effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on recreational boating and marine tourism itself, it remains a significant tourist phenomenon (Carvache-Franco et al ., 2021). Tourism that is centered on the sea is becoming increasingly popular, and yachting is an important component of sea-centered tourism (Spinelli and Benevolo, 2022). While marine tourism can take many forms, it is generally defined as a form of tourism that is primarily based on water, including boating, yachting, cruising, and nautical sports.…”

PurposeAs a contribution to current knowledge of luxury yachting, this study applies a theoretical discussion to explain how gratification, social motives, financial risk and status quo interact to predict satisfaction and word-of-mouth intentions among luxury yachting travelers. Additionally, gender moderating effects on antecedent factors of satisfaction were examined.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was distributed in the United Arab Emirates, and 228 valid questionnaires were received which were analyzed with AMOS structural equation modeling.FindingsThe results of this study were analyzed using structural equation modeling. According to the results, factors such as gratification, social motives, and the status quo are significantly associated with satisfaction. The degree of satisfaction is directly related to the likelihood of spreading word of mouth. Result differences between males and females can be explained by moderating effects.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies that examine the antecedents of luxury yachting to satisfaction and word of mouth impact.
