We see it all the time on social media, superyacht after superyacht sprawled across the Mediterranean or the Caribbean, sporting unfathomable luxury and an endless string of glamourous models.
Okay, that might be a little ironic coming from us, the perpetuators of such exclusive content, but not every superyacht dream is as unreachable as you may think.
A little closer to home the average (take that loosely) joe with some considerable savings or simply a lot of friends willing to chip in, can too access their own slice of superyacht heaven here in Australia.
