FAQs
Are customer yacht reviews reliable when buying a yacht?
Yes, customer reviews offer a valuable and often more personal perspective on yacht ownership. While expert reviews focus on technical specifications and performance, owner feedback gives you insights into day-to-day life onboard, real cruising experiences, and how the yacht fits different lifestyles. When choosing a yacht, reading a range of yacht reviews, especially those from Australian owners, can help you make a more informed and realistic decision.
What should I look for in a customer yacht review?
In customer testimonials, look for detailed accounts of the ownership journey, such as how the purchase process went, what they love (or would improve) about their yacht, and how the boat performs in real conditions.
The best yacht reviews often include information about service, support, comfort, and how the boat meets their specific needs, whether that’s family cruising, entertaining, or long-distance sailing.
Where can I find trusted yacht reviews in Australia?
You’re in the right place. TMG Yachts offers one of the most extensive collections of yacht reviews Australia has to offer, directly from Lagoon and PRESTIGE owners. These are real customers sharing honest feedback based on their own experiences, from delivery through to everyday cruising.
You can also view expert boat tests on our Media Reviews page.
