Various tourism companies are collaborating with yacht owners and yacht fleet owners for offering a trip on a yacht to enable the consumers to experience the luxury. The rising demand among consumers for luxury and recreational vacations, coupled with rising cross-border tensions that result in an increase in patrolling in the ocean, is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.
