Aluminum Yacht Review

Aluminum yachts are commonly used for entertainment and luxury sport fishing. These yachts are typically made from marine grade aluminum. Aluminum yachts are lightweight, strong and resist corrosion. They are also non-flammable. The average size of an aluminum yacht is between 26 and 108 feet, and they can hold many passengers. The yachts are usually powered by outboard or inboard motors and utilize a propeller or impellers, which were previously only used for jet boats. Fiberglass had once dominated the bodies of the luxury yacht but because of economic conditions, improvement in manufacturing and the desire for a durable product, marine grade aluminum is currently the material of choice for luxury yacht producers and owners. Typically designed for mid to long range trips, aluminum yachts are seaworthy. Most models also offer a very robust and spacious area for entertainment and sleeping accommodations. Amenities include high end wood finishes, stainless steel finishes, tempered glass frameless windows, built in televisions, iPod docks, queen bed in the master stateroom, entertainment areas, a fully stocked galley and a separate dining hall. Feadship and Codcasa are both known for producing quality aluminum yachts. Used models are available for around $237,000, while newer models run well over $1,000,000.
