A yacht is a luxury item that many wealthy people aim to own. And you need to be wealthy to own one because yachts aren't cheap. This programme brings viewers inside the process of building these extravagant vessels that often have such features as swimming pools, cocktail bars, helipads and even mini submarine docks. `Superyachts' showcases some of the best shipyards in the Netherlands - one of the top nations for yacht construction - and the people responsible for commissioning, building and running the ships. Viewers experience the entire process, from the initial blueprints to the maiden voyage, and learn about the technical innovations and design cues that distinguish yachts from other boats.
