What $1,000,000 Gets You in the Luxury Yacht World

Is $1,000,000 enough for a "Mega Yacht" in the USA? Most people think a million dollars buys you a floating palace with a helicopter pad, but the reality of the American yacht market might surprise you. From the docks of Miami to the marinas of Newport and San Diego, we’re breaking down exactly what $1M gets you in 2025.
In this video, we explore the ultimate dilemma for aspiring owners: Should you buy a brand-new 45ft luxury cruiser or a legendary 80ft pre-owned Hatteras? We dive deep into the hidden costs of ownership—like the 10% rule—and show you how to play your cards right to get the most luxury for your money.
In this video, you’ll learn: ✅ New vs. Pre-owned: Which offers more value? ✅ The best yacht brands in the USA for this budget (Viking, Sea Ray, Azimut, etc.) ✅ The "10% Rule": How much it actually costs to maintain a yacht annually. ✅ Hidden expenses: Dockage in prime locations like South Beach or Marina del Rey. ✅ My personal strategy on how to spend $1,000,000 wisely.
