Yacht or speedboat: what to choose for a Sochi sea trip

The most common question before a sea trip: boat or yacht? The honest answer depends on five things — budget, group size, route, comfort and the impression you want.

The comparison

• Budget — a boat is 2–4 times cheaper per hour; for 2 hours the difference is decisive.
• Group — boats take up to 6–8; yachts and catamarans host events for dozens.
• Route — long routes (Gagra, open sea) need a yacht's range and comfort.
• Comfort — cabins, toilet, shade and a flybridge exist on yachts, not on boats.
• Impressions — a boat is speed and spray; a yacht is a slow beautiful evening.

When the boat wins

Short formats: a two-hour sunset ride, a quick swim trip, a fast transfer along the coast. Less money, same sea, maximum simplicity. Perfect for couples and small groups who want the water, not the ceremony.

When the yacht wins

Anything longer than 3 hours, any group with kids or grandparents, any event. Shade, a cabin for a nap, a proper swim ladder, a table for lunch — comfort stops being a detail by hour three.
