摘要

This chapter traverses the complexity of co-creating activity experiences in luxury yachting. It is guided by the theoretical lenses of Pine and Gilmore’s ‘4E framework (Harvard Business Review 76:97–105, 1998), Jauhari’s insights on memorable experiences (Hospitality marketing and consumer behavior: Creating memorable experiences (pp. 19–37). CRC Press, 2017), and the nuanced consumer perspective on luxury offered by Brun and Castelli (International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management 41:823–847, 2013). The chapter explores how these foundational theories illuminate the intricate choreography of luxury yachting experiences. It demonstrates how the confluence of bespoke aquatic adventures, wellness sanctuaries, gastronomic journeys, cultural explorations, vibrant celebrations, and unparalleled explorations through submarine and helicopter tours culminates in an experience that transcends the conventional parameters of leisure and luxury. The discussion highlights that the dynamic interplay of personalised luxury, emotional fulfilment and experiential education encapsulates the essence of modern luxury yachting. The chapter is informed by the author’s personal experience and observations gained while working in the industry.
