1. The Yacht: Your Private Floating Resort
A €1M budget opens the door to some of the world’s most prestigious yachts—typically 40 to 70 meters in length, with sleek exteriors, designer interiors, and state-of-the-art technology. These vessels are floating masterpieces, often featuring:
- Multiple decks with panoramic lounges
- Infinity pools or Jacuzzis
- Private cinemas and game rooms
- Onboard spas and gyms
- Lavish suites with en-suite marble bathrooms
Each yacht is a blend of engineering excellence and artistic design, offering the comfort of a five-star hotel with the freedom of the open sea.
2. The Crew: Service Beyond Expectations
Expect a highly trained, professional crew dedicated to your comfort and privacy. A typical crew includes:
- Captain: Expert navigator and local guide
- Chef: Culinary artist trained in world-class kitchens
- Stewards/Stewardesses: Providing impeccable hospitality
- Deckhands: Managing water toys and excursions
- Wellness staff: Masseuses, yoga instructors, or personal trainers (on request)
The crew-to-guest ratio is often 1:1, ensuring personalized service around the clock.
3. The Cuisine: Gourmet Dining at Sea
Dining on a luxury yacht is a culinary journey. Before departure, you’ll complete a preference sheet detailing your favorite dishes, dietary needs, and beverage choices. The chef then creates a bespoke menu that might include:
- Freshly caught seafood grilled on deck
- Multi-course tasting menus with wine pairings
- Sunset sushi platters and champagne
- Beach BBQs on private islands
Every meal is an event, and every bite is tailored to your taste.
4. The Toys: Endless Ocean Adventures
Luxury yachts come equipped with an impressive array of water toys and gear. Depending on your yacht, you might enjoy:
- Jet skis and SeaBobs
- Paddleboards and kayaks
- Scuba diving and snorkeling equipment
- Waterslides and inflatable playgrounds
- Tenders for island hopping
- Fishing gear and underwater scooters
Some yachts even feature helipads, submarines, or onboard cinemas for the ultimate entertainment.
5. The Itinerary: Crafted Just for You
A €1M vacation means complete control over your journey. Whether you want to explore the Greek Isles, cruise the French Riviera, or discover hidden coves in the Caribbean, your itinerary is fully customizable.
A typical day might include:
- Morning yoga on the sundeck
- Brunch while cruising to a new island
- Afternoon snorkeling in a secluded bay
- Sunset cocktails with live music
- A starlit dinner on a private beach
And if you change your mind? The captain adjusts the course. It’s your adventure, your way.
6. The Extras: Elevating the Experience
With a €1M budget, the extras are where the magic happens. Think:
- Private jet transfers to and from the yacht

The crew is trained in confidentiality, and the yacht itself becomes your private sanctuary—far from crowds, paparazzi, or interruptions.
