HI I'm saving up for a yacht but there's a lot of controversy on them. It's 6-8mil for a yacht but you don't get garages etc but u get boats/choppers.Is it worth it or not? What are the pros and cons of superyachts?

They can be fun (especially for one of the VIP modes) but only if you have tons of money to burn. In other words, if you have to grind like crazy in order to buy one, you will probably be saying to yourself that it really wasn't worth the effort.

That's probably (IMO) the biggest benefit of doing "Piracy Prevention"--getting some easy money. But of course, spending 6-8 million means it takes a long time for that yacht to pay for itself. lol

 

That is to say, only launch it when there are one or two people in the session. Most people could care less about the game mode, and ignore you, giving you an easy $27,500 for about nine minutes of walking around your yacht (money shown below was doubled during the VIP event week special):

Something I wasn't aware of until recently was the "Captain" contact you can call on your phone:

You can request the following:

Seems a little redundant given what's available via Merryweather, Lester, Mechanic, and VIP Abilities (if you're in VIP mode), but still a nice gesture on R*'s part.

They're awesome, you spawn with a helicopter right there so you can get anywhere on the map fast.

 

Much more room than an apartment, better views and watercraft

 

No one camping outside your garage waiting to bomb you!

 

I traded all of my High End apartments in for 10 car garages, that saved over $500mil.

 

Who needs an apartment when you have a Yacht!!

^^ I hear ya on that--apartments need more practical aspects attached to them before they actually have value.

 

I rarely ever step inside of my apartment; just no reason to--nothing really unique that I can't do elsewhere.

I was considering doing the same but I need to keep at least 1 high end for heist purposes.

You still need an apartment for heists, but a yacht is a good place to spawn, if you buy one with a chopper, and if you enjoy sniping it can be a good place to do it from.
