Top 10: Most-liked Instagram photos on @superyachttimes

In a world where social media is king with a growing community of yacht spotters, the extension of SuperYacht Times’ reach into the social media scene was a natural step in the right direction.

Although always with a presence on these platforms, over a year ago SYT decided to up our game and dedicate our Instagram page, @superyachttimes, as the main platform to share the best superyacht images and videos created by our own media team or sourced from yacht spotting partners around the world. The result? An organic growth of 100,000 followers over the past 12 months and a collection of over 2,500 of the very best current and historic superyacht images. Here are the top 10 photos that sparked the most interest from you, our followers, in 2016.
