For many, the allure of yacht ownership is irresistible—a vision of slicing through sunlit, cerulean waters, chasing endless summer days, and embracing the freedom of spontaneous luxury escapes. The price tags of superyachts, however, can often tether that dream firmly to fantasy. Yet, not all yachts require an eight-figure investment. While the upper echelons of the yachting world rightly command premium prices, there are stunning vessels available for $5 million or less, marrying sophistication, performance, and value. To guide your journey toward yacht ownership, we spotlight two standout superyachts listed with FGI Yacht Group. These selections offer the finest in craftsmanship and amenities without breaking the bank.
Droplet | Princess Yachts | 21.95m | 2022 | $4,050,000
Step aboard Droplet, a striking 21.95-meter creation from the distinguished British shipyard Princess Yachts. Delivered in 2022, this Y72 model exemplifies meticulous attention to detail and peerless engineering. The saloon’s open layout, accentuated by a bar area and seamlessly integrated galley, invites conviviality, while the state-of-the-art multi-zone Naim audio system ensures a soundtrack to match every occasion. Outdoor enthusiasts will revel in the upper deck’s wet bar and alfresco dining space, perfect for evenings under the stars. Below deck, the full-beam owner’s suite—a sanctuary adorned with a contemporary Livorno Stone leather finish—includes a private staircase leading to a refined lobby that connects directly to the main deck.
