Marking a significant milestone in the industry, esteemed yachting platform YachtBuyer has officially unveiled the first class of inductees to the YachtBuyer Hall of Fame, reserved for production models that excel in multiple categories through rigorous independent reviews and testing.
Presenting highly coveted YachtBuyer 5 Star trophies during the recent edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival, the recipients of the rare accolade obtain unrivaled recognition that reflects the craftsmanship, designs, and other fundamental elements that showcase what the best-of-the-best really looks like.
From beautiful streamlined classics to sports yachts, flybridges, and even motor yacht charters, a broad range of models are thoroughly tested by YachtBuyer Reviews Director Jack Haines to offer a completely independent, unbiased look at the production models on the market, depicting which ones are worthy of the 5 Star Trophy.
With over 600,000 subscribers, the YachtBuyer YouTube channel has rapidly overtaken some of the longest-running yacht-based channels streaming online, and among the immersive tours available, prospective charter guests can enjoy sneak previews of yacht rentals like 163.11ft (49.95m) luxury yacht charter ETERNAL SPARK and 191.3ft (58.3m) charter yacht PINK SHADOW.
Standing out from other awards within the yachting industry, the YachtBuyer 5 Star Trophy is only given to production models that excel and surpass expectations in a total of six categories.
Independently financed, the reviews undertaken by the team at YachtBuyer remain uninfluenced by politics, favoritism, and hype, resulting in complete neutrality and dependable outcomes that inform and educate prospective buyers and luxury yacht charter guests.
Our reviews give people the understanding and confidence they need when choosing their next boat, and help them identify which options will truly enhance their ownership experience.
During the testing process for the 5 Star Trophy and subsequent induction to the YachtBuyer Hall of Fame, each model, whether it's from a new or established shipyard, is given the same opportunity to shine, with the scores in these six categories paving the way for potential glory.
- Design & Build
- Accommodation
- Helm Station
- On Deck
- Performance & Handling
- Value For Money
Once a production model has been awarded a full five stars from the comprehensive YachtBuyer review process, it then becomes eligible to enter the esteemed Hall of Fame.
Different to a one-off award ceremony, the receipt of a 5 Star Trophy during a formal presentation provides exclusive inclusion on the YachtBuyer Hall of Fame, which provides ongoing exposure to the market with dedicated coverage and special privileges on the YachtBuyer website.
Setting a benchmark for the industry, the YachtBuyer 5 Star Trophy and Hall of Fame have set out to provide a reliable and trusted source for making informative decisions on future purchases and inspiration for potential charter vacation choices.
The YachtBuyer 5 Star Trophy is not about hype or politics, it’s about celebrating genuine excellence...
Making history as the first production models to enter the YachtBuyer Hall of Fame, the first inductees are:
- Princess Y72
- Pearl 63
- Bluegame BG42
- Absolute Navetta 75
- Sunseeker Manhattan 55 Mk2
Holding a permanent place in yachting history, these five production models form the Class of 2025 for the YachtBuyer Hall of Fame, and among those new inductees, prospective charter guests can currently explore two of the models on the global yacht rental market.
One of which is 74ft (22.56m) charter yacht ELIZABETH (as seen above). A 2022 launch, who is perfectly-equipped for relaxed Mediterranean yacht charters, ELIZABETH is one of three Princess Y72 yachts for charter with everything needed to entertain, unwind, and make memories with family and friends.
As a trustworthy platform for discovering the best production models in the market, the YachtBuyer Hall of Fame sets the bar on what to expect from an exceptional yacht to own or charter.
