“PILOT LOUNGE is one of those rare yachts that feels different the moment you step aboard. The 27.7m Horizon build hits a sweet spot — big enough to feel like a private floating villa, intimate enough that the crew remembers how you take your morning coffee by day two. Happy to walk you through a week on board personally — there are a few details that don't make it onto any spec sheet.”

What a yacht like PILOT LOUNGE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on PILOT LOUNGE is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 28m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
