The multidisciplinary nature of research on yachting leads to a need for a synthesis of prior findings. To fill this gap, this article presents a systematic review of the literature. Although the search conducted uses terms such as sailboat and cruising, the study focuses on yachting, including both ownership or chartering. The review provides first a descriptive view of the fields, journal outlets, authors, and years of publications. Next, the study shows four mainstreams identified: (1) innovation, (2) consumer experience (3) sustainability, and (4) yacht-related events. Based on the description of prior findings, future research needs are identified.
