Superyacht owners are evolving and want more luxury water toys than ever this summer.
Sales of luxury yachts spiked after the COVID-19 pandemic, with the super-rich wanting to spend more time offshore. The trend continues with billionaire purchasers buying bigger superyachts, costing upwards of eight figures. Onboard demands include spas with saunas and ice baths, gyms, cinemas, putting greens, basketball courts, and masseuses.
For days in the water, there has been massive interest in fast water toys. iAQUA, has designed the world’s fastest and most powerful luxury sea scooters and e-surfboard.
“When you are spending upwards of eight figures on a superyacht, having luxury onboard and the fastest water adventure is paramount. We aim to revolutionise the sea industry market and make the dreams of superyacht owners come true. They want speed and power, and our innovative sea scooters and the X-Jet Extreme surfboard are the world’s fastest and most powerful,” iAQUA said.
