Yachts might be the perfect vehicles to help us escape our stressful, ever-changing lives, but being leagues away from shore doesn’t mean these luxury vessels are insulated from the trends happening on land. Seaworthy design, technology, and fashion are always evolving, and yacht builders are making spectacular boats to keep up.

You don’t need to look any further than instagram to see these new features in action. Let’s check out the new shape of #luxury at sea.

Environmentalism doesn’t stop at the shoreline. That’s why forward-thinking companies like Solarwave and Greenline are developing **eco-friendly boats** that don’t depend on fossil fuels. Best of all, these **hybrid** and **solar-powered** systems are nearly silent.

 

 

Taking a break from life on land doesn’t mean you can skip your workout. Today’s yachts are being built with **on board gyms **and** sports facilities**, so you can skip sunbathing and go for a run or shoot some hoops.

 

 

Yacht passengers want the fun of a theme park without the lines. Why go to the thrills when you can bring the thrills to you? **Waterslides, trampolines, and jet skis** are a must for an exhilarating ocean party.

 

 

Whether it’s micro-apartments or tiny houses, millennials are all about squeezing functionality into small spaces. That’s why today’s yachts feature space-saving **fold-out balconies** and **private spas** in unusual places.

 

 

In the interior, design trends like **minimalism and scandinavian style** aren’t showing any signs of slowing. And toward the aft, **the beach deck** will continue to be a popular feature on larger vessels.

 

 

No matter what changes are coming to luxury boats in the next few years, quality and dependability will always be the name of the game.
