Yacht Brand Guide

Not every yacht is built the same way, or for the same kind of day. Knowing a little about the brands behind our fleet — their heritage, their strengths, what they're actually built for — can help you picture what you're stepping onto before you ever reach the dock. Here's a rundown of some of the most respected names in the industry, organized by the kind of experience each is known for.

Express: Performance Day Boats

These are the boats built for a fast, fun, no-fuss day on the water — quick runs to a beach or cove, easy handling, and a genuine thrill at speed.

VanDutch defined the modern luxury day boat. With an unmistakable plumb bow, minimalist deck lines, and flat, open lounge spaces, they are built almost entirely for socializing at anchor. It’s the brand of choice when the aesthetic is just as important as the destination.

Boston Whaler has built its entire reputation on one idea: the boat that won't sink. Its patented foam-core hull construction makes it one of the most trusted names in boating for good reason, and that same engineering translates into a remarkably stable, confident ride — a great choice when the day is about the destination, not the journey.

Riva is a different kind of statement entirely. An Italian brand with roots going back to 1842, Riva built its name on glamorous, glossy wooden-hulled runabouts that remain instantly recognizable today — the boat equivalent of a beautifully tailored suit. Stepping aboard a Riva is as much about style as it is about the water.

For guests chasing serious speed or serious fish, high-performance center consoles from builders in this class deliver both — quick, capable, and right at home in the sportfishing culture Los Cabos is known for.

Cruiser: Comfort Meets Capability

A step up in size and amenities, express cruisers add real cabin space and creature comforts without sacrificing the sporty feel of a day boat.

Sea Ray is one of the most recognized names on the water for a reason — decades of building comfortable, well-appointed express cruisers that make an easy, confident choice for a day trip with room to spare.

Azimut's Atlantis line brings distinctly Italian design sensibility to this category — sleek lines, thoughtful use of space, and a level of finish that feels a notch above the everyday express cruiser.

Sunseeker's Predator line pairs British engineering with unmistakable presence. These boats are built to be noticed as much as enjoyed, combining real performance with striking styling — a favorite for guests who want their charter to feel like an occasion.

Tiara Yachts: Bridges the gap between a luxury cruiser and a highly capable offshore boat. Known for wide beams and an exceptionally solid ride, Tiaras are built for guests who want open-air enjoyment paired with a deeply engineered, seaworthy hull that handles coastal chop with ease.

Flybridge: Elevated Space and Vision

This is where multi-day comfort, social space, and genuine luxury start to take center stage.

Azimut covers an enormous range, but its motor yacht and flybridge models are particularly known for bright, spacious interiors and social layouts built around how people actually gather on board — a hallmark of Italian yacht design at its best.

Viking & Bertram: Legends in sportfishing circles. Both American builders produce enclosed and open bridge models that double as genuinely capable offshore cruisers — a natural fit for chasing marlin or extended cruising in tournament conditions.

Ocean Alexander is built around long-range comfort, with a more trawler-inspired sense of stability that suits a slower, more leisurely style of cruising particularly well.

Princess Yachts brings understated British craftsmanship to this category. Princess doesn't chase flash; it builds yachts known for exceptional build quality and elegant, livable interiors — the choice for guests who want comfort and refinement without anything feeling over the top.

Catamarans: Space and Stability

Because they spread their beam across two hulls, catamarans offer a completely different footprint on the water—ideal for shallow anchorages and guests who prioritize stability.

Lagoon: The undisputed heavy hitter in luxury cruising catamarans. Lagoon creates massive, apartment-like living spaces and exceptionally stable platforms that rarely roll at anchor—perfect for multi-day island hopping or guests prone to seasickness.

Leopard Catamarans: Brings a slightly more rugged, performance-oriented edge to the dual-hull design. They are beloved in charter fleets for their signature forward lounge cockpits, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and rock-solid reliability.

Supers: Superyachts

Supers: Superyachts

At the top of the fleet, these are yachts built around scale, craftsmanship, and an experience that's genuinely difficult to replicate anywhere else.

Horizon Yachts: A dominant force in the luxury motor yacht space. Known for exceptional volume, they feel much wider and more spacious than other yachts of their exact length, offering massive layouts that rival much larger custom builds.

Benetti, building yachts since 1873, is one of the oldest names in the industry and remains a byword for fully custom megayachts — true artisanal craftsmanship, with every detail built around the owner's specifications.

Sanlorenzo has become one of the most respected names in superyacht building, currently ranked among the top builders of 24-meter-plus superyachts in the world, known for understated Italian design paired with genuinely cutting-edge engineering.

Feadship, a Dutch builder, represents the gold standard of bespoke yacht craftsmanship — hand-built, extraordinarily exclusive, and responsible for some of the most celebrated private yachts on the water today.

CRN: Part of the Ferretti Group portfolio, CRN specializes in fully custom, steel and aluminum megayachts. They are known for pushing the boundaries of bespoke naval architecture, creating massive, one-of-a-kind vessels tailored entirely to an owner's uncompromising vision.

Custom Line (Ferretti Group): Bridges the gap between production yachts and fully bespoke superyachts. Designed for extended cruising, they offer ultra-luxurious, highly personalized interiors and exceptional acoustic insulation for silent, vibration-free passages.
