Ocean Treasure | Luxury Cruise Asset
Luxury living is no longer defined by towering skylines or static views. The Navigator Residence at Sea invites you to elevate your lifestyle—off the shore and onto the open sea—where every morning brings a new horizon and every window frames a different coastline. As one of the world’s rarest real estate offerings, this private, deeded cruise residence lets you experience the world’s most breathtaking seascapes from the comfort of home.
This is not a holiday—it’s a permanent floating home that combines lifestyle and long-term investment value. Over a two-year journey, the vessel will sail to more than 140 destinations, with extended 2–4 day stays in each port, offering residents an unparalleled way to live globally. With only around 210 units onboard, each residence is a globally mobile, income-generating, appreciation-ready asset. Registered under the Bahamas flag, owners benefit from zero property tax, zero capital gains tax, and zero inheritance tax, enabling both financial efficiency and true lifestyle freedom.
High Rental Yield | Booming and Evolving Cruise Travel
The global cruise industry is surging in 2025 — and the momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Forecasts suggest that by 2028, over 42 million travelers will take to the seas each year. What was once a niche segment has evolved into a preferred form of luxury travel. Today’s travelers want more than just sightseeing — they seek cultural immersion, extended voyages, and the comfort of home while discovering the world. Millennials, Gen Z, and multi-generational families are driving this shift, drawn to the ease of “unpack once, see the world.” Luxury cruise ships are now sailing at over 100% occupancy, with unprecedented demand for longer, more meaningful journeys.
And as this booming market expands, a new opportunity emerges: What if you could not only live this lifestyle — but earn from it? With gross rental yields estimated over 15%*annually, and a net return of ~15% through managed programs, The Navigator turns oceanfront living into a high-performing global investment. In a market where scarcity defines value, this isn’t just a floating home — it’s a rare asset class ready to set sail with your portfolio.

With deep expertise across both the cruise and real estate sectors, Galbut brings world-class operational standards and robust legal structures to this new category of floating asset — redefining what future-forward property ownership can be.
