Both get you out on the water, but the experience is genuinely different. Here is how to decide.
A sailing yacht (like NEMO, our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36) moves under sail when conditions allow, with the crew trimming sails and working with the wind. It is a quieter, more traditional experience, and appeals to guests who want the feel of actual sailing, not just a boat ride.
A motor yacht is powered the whole way, which means a steadier, more predictable ride regardless of wind, and is often better suited to guests who want to focus on conversation, photos or a celebration rather than the sailing itself.
For a first-timer or a party-focused occasion (a birthday, a proposal, a celebration), a motor yacht is usually the simpler choice. For guests who want to experience sailing itself, or who are considering lessons, a sailing yacht is the better fit.
If you are not sure, tell us the occasion and what matters most to you — a calm, steady ride or the actual experience of sailing — and we will recommend the right boat.
Compare our sailing and motor yachts, or ask us which fits your occasion — steady celebration or hands-on sailing.
A motor yacht is usually the simpler choice for a party or celebration, since the ride is steadier and more predictable.
A sailing yacht, like NEMO, gives you the genuine experience of sailing under wind power.
Both are operated by trained crew with full safety equipment. Your choice should come down to the kind of experience you want, not safety.
Yes — a private charter on a sailing yacht gives you a taste of it, or see our Learn to Sail page for a more hands-on session.
