Eight hundred thousand euros buys a twelve guest yacht that can stay out. Autonomy is the theme at this level, meaning enough water production, power generation and cold storage to keep a full complement comfortable for days at anchor without returning to a marina for anything but fuel.
That independence is what changes the character of a cruise. Instead of planning around berths, you plan around anchorages, and the difference in the quality of a week is considerable. The busiest ports become places you pass rather than places you must reach by evening, and the coastline opens up accordingly.
The twelve guest yachts around 800,000 euros below are available now through The Yacht Collection.
