The decision to buy a luxury yacht should not be looked at as a financial decision, but a lifestyle choice. Owning a yacht, and spending a lot of time on it, should be something you really want to do. Keep in mind that you can expect to spend at least 10% of the cost of your boat on upkeep and maintenance every year. However, we are often still asked about the investment potential of buying a motor yacht.

Unlike automobiles and more conventional boats, a luxury motor yacht does not necessarily automatically depreciate in value. Some manufacturers and models are more in demand than others due to the known quality of the brand, and the reputation of the designer and/or marine architect. A skilled yacht broker can advise you if you are looking to purchase a yacht more likely to hold its value at resale.

Express cruisers
Express cruisers are a top choice for family boating, and it’s no wonder why: they offer both fun in the sun and protection from the elements, they come in all shapes and sizes, provide exhilarating performance, and can be used for everything from sun worship to weekending to cruising. In some cases, an express can even double as a fishing boat, or a watersports boat. Naturally, that means there are a lot of choices on the market. As in, hundreds of choices, for any given size range. But as we tested, reviewed, and relaxed aboard boats these past few years, we've noticed a few stand-outs. Here are 10 favorite express cruisers that stood apart from the pack.

Tri-Deck, Mega Yacht
A Tri-Deck is a yacht that has 3 levels of enclosed living space. Although smaller Tri-Decks exist like the 80 Lazzara above, the term is typically seen used in yachts in excess of 120 feet. Many definitions exist for what defines a Mega Yacht, but I believe it to be a vessel in excess of 80 feet.
