  • Aluminum – used for lightweight, high-speed yachts
  • Steel – preferred for superyachts due to its strength and longevity

By Propulsion System:

  • Diesel internal combustion engines – the standard and most reliable option
  • Hybrid propulsion – a combination of traditional diesel engines and electric motors
  • Diesel-electric systems – a more economical and eco-friendly solution
  • Fully electric yachts – an innovative but still rare segment


By Customization Level:

  • Production yachts – mass-produced with minimal customization options
  • Semi-custom yachts – offer choices in layout, design, and some specifications
  • Full-custom yachts – unique projects tailored entirely to the owner’s preferences

These yachts are often built from steel and aluminum, designed for long-range travel and luxurious onboard experiences.
