Luxury Yachts have their own set of manufacturers which are sought after, and in this competitive market one name which continuously rises to the surface is Navigator Yachts. The company, which is now a combination of Navigator Yachts and Californian Yachts, was merged in 2012 and the name was formally changed to Navigator Yachts and Products Inc. Although the Californian Yachts is not specifically merged with this part of the company, the site has put them together, and so do we. If you are looking to purchase a Navigator boat or a Californian Yacht, here are a few things that you should know.
It is American
One of the biggest advantages to those who wish to purchase the Navigator Yacht is that the manufacturer has opted to have an American owned and an American Operated business. In today’s world this could mean that the boat has manufacturing in another country and then has the boat imported the states, such is not the case. Everything is built in the US. The main office (as you would expect with a name like Californian Yachts) is located in California. However, there are offices in Florida which well the Navigator Yachts.
A difference in material
When it comes to luxury interiors, many of the 33’ boats and even those which are larger tend to use teak. In fact, this was an industry standard until the Californian Yachts started to use mahogany in their interiors and in the consoles. Today, mahogany is the new standard in luxury yacht design. But it is not just the wood choice that has given the company a reputation for their quality builds. The manufacturer has continuously won awards for outstanding design and going beyond the average construction standards. Perhaps this is why it is the leading manufacturer of luxury Yachts.
Buyers should keep in mind that they yachts interior space is more apt to that of a luxury hotel than to a cabin. Queen size beds, under-galley pantry, large hang lockers, and plenty of storage are common features in the design. Bathrooms and showers are located separately from the cabin space (no crammed accommodations). And since the average adult can be about 6’, the headspace is designed with clearance in mind. Again, this is why they are a leader in the manufacturing of luxury yachts in the US.
Models
The navigator yachts for sale are offered in 45 foot yachts and greater. These models are the Navigator 4500, the 4800, 5200, 5500, 5800 6200, and the Navigator 6800. As with all boats which have number associations, these models reflex the size of the Yachts with minimal fluctuation on the exact LOA. The boats which are part of the model selection which are offered from the Californian side of the business include the Californian 48 LRC and the Californian 55 LRC.
Both the Navigator and the Californian boats tend to have the darker stylized front windows, high gunnels, and a Deep Vee design to the hull. Typical on the Luxury yachts offered is the secondary console (exterior) allowing the driver a high vantage point over the water. As with any custom yacht, the features and the packages will vary and the price for the vessel will shift up and down as a result. That being stated, the starting average price of a Navigator 4500 is roughly 300k with the 2011 Navigator 6200 with an average price of 1.5 million.
