ADVISE
Can boats really live up to 100 years?
Did you know the steel-hulled yacht is the most long-lasting yacht and can live up to 100 years? Yes, it is true. As you may know, there are different types of hull materials such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, and aluminum. But the most long-lasting is the steel-hulled yacht which can live up to 100 years if well-cared. In some cases, wooden boats also have a lifespan of 100 years. While fiberglass can survive up to 50 years and aluminum yachts have the shortest lifespan of 15 to 20 years.
