7 Yachts That Robb Report Readers Loved in 2018

As we dive full-bore into 2019, I am going to do a different kind of countdown. After compiling, tallying, and deciphering all sorts of numbers, here I present Robb Report readers’ favorite yacht stories from 2018.

Having roamed the docks at the annual yacht shows and read all of the press releases for new concepts and recent launches, I find it interesting to see what type of yacht draws readers in. From fast planing yachts to sophisticated sailing yachts, beefy outboard boats and submersible superyachts, Robb Report readers clicked them all.

I start the countdown with number 7, because I am feeling lucky as I gather these yacht stories up. How many of these have you already read?
