In this on-location episode from **Ft. Lauderdale, Florida—the global capital of yachting—**John Engel and Roberto Cabrera sit down with Julie Jones of Douglas Elliman and Bob Denison of Denison Yachting to explore the fascinating intersection between luxury yachts and luxury real estate.
We dig into the big questions: Are superyachts the next real estate investment class? Where do yacht ownership and property markets overlap? And when do the economics of ownership versus charter really make sense? Bob and Julie pull back the curtain on charter trends (what percentage of yachts are available and how often they’re booked), hot global markets for both luxury homes and yachts, and how buyers of trophy properties increasingly cross-shop mega-yachts as lifestyle investments.
If you’ve ever wondered how the superyacht lifestyle fits into the broader luxury market, this is your inside guide—straight from two of the top names in high-end brokerage.
