Owning a yacht is like owning a house. It’s not a one-time investment and requires regular attention. With normal wear and tear, and new innovations and design trends coming to the fore all the time, it’s imperative that you maintain and upgrade your vessel.
Bear in mind, maintaining and upgrading are two separate things. And while some may disregard upgrades as being a luxury, yacht upgrades are as important as maintenance.
With that, let’s talk about some yacht upgrade ideas that offer a great return on investment. They are aesthetically pleasing and will definitely add to your yachting experience.
Solar Power Units
Number one on our list is solar power. Not only is this a green upgrade that helps you cut down on your carbon footprint, it also offers great benefits. Solar power units have come a long way in recent years.
They can be easily installed, which mean you can make sure that they do not affect the look of your yacht. They pack a lot of power even in smaller units. With inverters and power management systems, the utility they offer is unparalleled.
If that’s not enough to convince you, think of it as a great back up power supply. You know a solar power unit will come in handy when your primary power source gives out.
Water Turbines
Another green solution for power is water turbines. They provide a good amount of power without any significant disruptions in speed. These added with a solar system are the perfect power solution for any yacht.
- They can charge up your batteries in quick time.
- They’ll keep working even when the sun is down.
- Their installation does not disturb your yacht’s outlook.
Water Filtration System
Packing water for your trip into the open seas is a hassle, especially if you plan on a long excursion. Why not have a filtration system on board?
These systems are often a package deal, and come with coolers, heaters and even mineral filters that provide mineral water. With no fear of running out of clean drinking water, you can be carefree, relaxed and enjoy your trip all the more.
Cabin Ventilation
If your yacht cabin is not well ventilated, things could go south very quickly. When the sun gets high, your cabin will become an oven. Not to mention the pungent smell that’s bound to set in when moisture is involved.
It is important to maintain good airflow within the cabins and of course that means ventilation fans. They come in all sizes and shapes, so you can choose whatever best goes with your cabin.
These fans can regulate the airflow keeping your cabin cool and fresh. Most of these fans are designed to not make noise. So you do not have to worry about a fan buzzing and disturbing you in the middle of your nap.
Boat Lights!
A yacht upgrade is incomplete without looking at its lighting. Lighting, for some strange reasons, is often ignored by owners even though it adds much to the experience and aesthetics. Why stick to the bare minimum, when your lighting alone can make your nighttime yacht excursions memorable. You’ll most likely want to hire an experienced boat electrical repair specialist to support your endeavors as electronics repair or install can get complicated and dangerous quickly.
Today, there are so many lighting options available, from LEDs to fluorescents, you can go all out to deck your yacht. You can always find a great solution, inexpensive, suitable and with reduced power consumption.
Yacht Upgrades Take Your Ship to the Next Level
Yes, your standard yachts are more than enough to provide you with excellent adventures on the open seas. But with all these yacht upgrade options, you will most likely take your experiences to the next level.
You can have a hassle-free trip, without any worries about power, fuel, heat or water. Also, you will also have some great pictures to show off with all the wonderful lighting!
