Therefore, an understanding of the Luxury Sailing Yacht market’s perception of innovation is necessary, which shows differences and similarities between Luxury Sailing Yacht producers and users. The theoretical basis for the research is constituted by developing new markets through value innovation and the blue ocean strategy.
