As superyachts continue to get bigger and more extravagant than ever before, so too do the accompanying price tags. According to the Boats Group’s market index, the average cost of a yacht above 80 feet in the US last year was $5.3 million. As you’ll see below, though, there are a handful of high-end vessels that blow that figure out of the water.

Although it’s difficult to get exact prices in what is a fiercely secretive industry, sales of luxury yachts have surged amid the pandemic and the ultra-wealthy are more willing than ever to fork out for ostentatious ocean goers. Case in point: Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos reportedly parted with $485 million for his Oceanco megayacht that’s currently in build.

Believe it or not, that’s quite a modest price compared to at least half of the entries on this list. Lürssen’s Dilbar , for instance, is rumored to have cost in the ballpark of $800 million. As alluded to, the shipyards behind these lavish, nine-figure designs seldom share details regarding ownership or price. Therefore, the amounts cited here are estimates pulled together from Wikipedia and other reliable sources. Still, the 15 vessels here give you a good idea of what’s possible when money is no object and the best builders in the business are at your whim.

Lürssen: ‘Dilbar’ — $800 Million

Delivered in 2016, Lürssen’s Dilbar is the largest motor yacht in the world by gross tonnage. It’s also the most expensive with an original price tag in the ballpark of $800 million. Weighing in at 15,917 tons, the monolithic 512-footer is one of the most complex and challenging vessels the German yard has ever built. Penned by Espen Øino, Dilbar features a classic profile and a light ivory hull with bronze accents. Onboard, meanwhile, the elegant interiors were brought to life by Winch Design and outfitted with only the best luxury materials. The pièce de résistance is, of course, the 82-foot swimming pool. Lürssen says it is the largest pool ever to have been installed on a yacht. Seafarers also have access to 41,000 square feet of saloons, staterooms, spas and cinemas to explore. German authorities impounded Dilbar earlier this year after establishing it was linked to a Russian billionaire. According to the US Treasury Department, the yacht is now worth between $600 million and $700 million, with annual maintenance costs of about $60 million.

Blohm+Voss: ‘Eclipse’ — $600 Million

The epic 533-foot Blohm+Voss superyacht Eclipse took half a decade to come to fruition before it was finally delivered to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2010. At that time, it was the largest yacht in the world and certainly one of the most expensive. It has now been 20-odd years and Eclipse still sits at the top of both lists and is estimated to be worth over $600 million. Designed inside and out by Terence Disdale, the vessel is equipped with 17 staterooms, a 185-foot-long owner’s deck with a palatial owner’s suite, a giant swimming pool that doubles as a dance floor, a gym, a beach club and a spa. Other highlights include a helicopter hangar with space for three choppers and a garage that can hold six tenders. On top of that, Eclipse has a top-end speed of 21 knots, with a range of 6,000 nautical miles.

Lürssen: ‘Azzam’ — $600 Million

Lürssen has proven itself adept at delivering sizable (and expensive) vessels. In fact, the German yard is behind the world’s longest superyacht, which reportedly set one private owner back more than $600 million. Delivered in 2013, Azzam measures just shy of 593 feet and offers a volume of 13,136 GT. Penned by Nauta Yacht, the yacht’s exterior is characterized by a long, sleek forward area and a series of tiers ascending to the skydeck. The interior, meanwhile, was brought to life by Christophe Leoni and showcases luxurious decor inspired by the Empire style of the early 19th century. Azzam is no slouch on the high seas, either, with a top speed of more than 30 knots. Astonishingly, the behemoth only took three years to build after one year of engineering. Azzam also underwent a refit in 2020 that likely resulted in a few more dollars being spent on her.

Lürssen: ‘Al Said’ — $600 Million

Another nine-figure Lürssen megayacht on the list is Al Saïd . Delivered in 2008, the 508-footer reportedly set the Sultan of Oman roughly $600 million and, well, you can tell. Designed by Espen Øino, Al Saïd ’s exterior is reminiscent of a classic cruise liner with the twin-exhaust stacks in the center of the superstructure. Sporting a steel hull and lightweight aluminum superstructure, the yacht is capable of 25 knots flat out, with a cruising speed of 22 knots. Inside, meanwhile, the contemporary interior was penned by Redman Whiteley Dixon. Highlights include a concert hall that can hold a 50-piece orchestra.

Lürssen: ‘A+’ (Topaz) — $527 Million

Lürssen megayacht A+ , previously known as Topaz , reportedly cost approximately $527 million (€400 million) to come to fruition. It is the fourth-largest yacht ever built by the German shipyard and was launched back in 2012. It’s rumored that Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, the deputy prime minister of the UAE and owner of Manchester City Football Club, took delivery of the vessel and is the current owner. A+ ’s exterior was penned by Tim Heywood Designs, while her interior was brought to life by Terence Disdale. She is equipped with cabins for 62 guests and 72 crew, as well as two helipads, a pool and a large swim platform. What more do you need?

Fincantieri: ‘Serene’ — $444 Million

Fincantieri’s first superyacht turned out to be big in terms of both proportions and price. The 439-footer was the largest yacht ever launched in Italy when it hit the water in 2011 and cost approximately $444 million (€450 million) to complete. Designed by Espen Øino, the seven-deck vessel is characterized by a sleek blue hull, a contrasting white superstructure and a ton of racy curves. She’s brimming with amenities, too, including an enclosed winter garden for dining in any season, a tender garage large enough to house a submarine and a supersized swimming pool for soaking. She also has two helipads and a hangar to facilitate comings and goings. Although the details of Serene ’s interior remain tightly under wraps, we do know Pascale Reymond of Reymond Langton Design penned the 43,056-square-foot living quarters.

Platinum Yachts: ‘Dubai’ — $400 Million

Dubai was, quite literally, built for royalty at a princely fee of roughly $400 million. The superyacht was originally commissioned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei as a joint project between Blohm+Voss and Lürssen. The duo only got to finish the bare hull and skeletal superstructure before construction was halted in 1998. The incomplete design was then sold to the government of Dubai and turned into a royal yacht for the country’s ruler. The 532-footer, which was finished off by Platinum Yachts, was delivered to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in 2006. Penned by Winch Design, Dubai spans seven decks and can sleep 24 guests and 88 crew. Befitting a sheikh, she is also equipped with a landing pad for a Black Hawk helicopter, a submarine garage, a disco and a cinema.

Blohm+Voss : ‘Motor Yacht A’ — $300 Million

Legend has it that architect Philippe Starck sketched the design for Motor Yacht A on a napkin in a matter of minutes. Blohm + Voss then sold the superyacht for approximately $300 million. Commissioned by Russian industrialist Andrey Melnichenko, the 390-footer is characterized by a minimalist exterior and a highly distinctive pelican bow that cuts a striking silhouette. With a beam of 62 feet, the vessel offers a generous interior volume of 5,500 GT. She offers accommodation for 14 guests and 42 crew. She also has no less than three swimming pools, one of which has a glass bottom that creates a wow factor on the deck below. Melnichenko kept  Motor Yacht A for nearly a decade before replacing it with Nobiskrug’s Sailing Yacht A . The 468-footer is not only the largest sailing yacht in the world, but also the most expensive with an estimated value of $578 million .

Lürssen: ‘Radiant’ — $300 Million

The tale behind Radiant ’s price tag is almost as long as the 360-footer itself. Rumor has it, the superyacht was built for Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky at a cost of roughly $149 million (€148.5 million). After Berezovsky ran into financial difficulties, he asked Edmiston to list the vessel for $352 million (€350 million) and it eventually sold for a hair under that. Delivered in 2010, Radiant sports a steel hull, an aluminum superstructure and gorgeous teak decking. She can comfortably accommodate up to 20 guests in 10 suites, as well as up to 44 crew. Her top-tier amenities include a movie theatre, a beauty salon, a beach club, a gym, a pool, a Jacuzzi, a helipad and a fully stocked tender garage. Certainly sounds worthy of $300 million to us.

Lürssen: ‘Pelorus’ — $300 Million

In the late ‘90s, Saudi Arabian businessman Abdulmohsen Abdulmalik Al-Sheikh commissioned Lürssen to create Pelorus . The 377-footer hit the seas in 2003 and was the 11th-largest yacht in the world at the time. During her maiden voyage, Pelorus was sold to Roman Abramovich. The Russian entrepreneur had it altered by Blohm & Voss, adding a second helipad and other lavish amenities. Fast forward to 2009, Irina Abramovich received the yacht as part of her divorce settlement from Roman. She sold it to David Geffen in 2011 via broker Merle Wood for $300 million. Pelorus features a sleek exterior designed by Tim Heywood and a beachy chic interior penned by Terence Disdale. She has several terraces with doors that open out to the sea to create a true indoor/outdoor feel.

Peters Werft: ‘Al Mirqab’ — $300 Million

The 436-foot Al Mirqab is one of the largest yachts in the world and has a price tag to match. Launched in 2008, the $300 million vessel was built for Qatar’s former prime minister under the supervision of Kusch Yachts in the Peters Werft shipyard in Germany. Penned by Tim Heywood, the elegant exterior pairs a long, navy-blue hull with a contrasting white superstructure. The interior, meanwhile, was brought to life by Andrew Winch and has won several awards. Arguably, the most striking feature is the Arabic-influenced motifs on the marble floors. Another highlight is the swimming pool on the lower deck, which can be opened up to the sea via side hatches in the hull. Al Mirqab has staterooms for 36, and crew quarters for 45. She was also treated to a refit in 2014 and thus looks fresher than your average 14-year-old vessel.

Abeking & Rasmussen: ‘Aviva’ — $250 Million

Abeking & Rasmussen’s Aviva shows what kind of lavish amenities you can get with $250 million. The 323-footer, which was delivered in 2017, features the largest gym on any yacht. It’s so big, in fact, that it houses a full-size paddle tennis court that pulls double duty as a soccer field when the nets are down. Penned by Toby Silverton and Reymond Langton Design, Aviva pairs a curvacious blue exterior with a chic modern interior. She is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system that enables her to reach up to 11 knots using only electric motors or 20 knots with the addition of diesel power. The yacht is reportedly the sequel to another smaller Aviva that was delivered to British billionaire Joe Lewis in 2007. The yacht was launched just 33 months after the signing of the contract, which is quite an impressive feat given the complexity and scope of the project.

Lürssen: ‘Octopus’ — $200 Million 

Launched in 2003 at a cost of approximately $200 million, Octopus was built by Lürssen for late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. The 414-footer is regularly loaned out for expeditions and scientific research initiatives. A true explorer, it features a dive center with a hyperbaric chamber, a yellow submarine named Pagoo and a remotely operated vehicle that can dive thousands of feet below the surface. Of course, this is complemented by state-of-the-art research technology. In addition, Octopus features two helipads, a hangar and seven tenders to facilitate comings and goings. She is also equipped with 13 staterooms, several bars, a recording studio, a cinema, a spa, a gym, a library and a basketball court. (You might remember Allen once owned the Portland Trail Blazers.) What’s more, Octopus appears to be climbing in price as time goes on. In 2019, the vessel was listed for sale for a cool $325 million .

Lürssen: ‘Rising Sun’ — $200 Million

Rising Sun was designed by one of the brightest minds in the industry: the late, legendary Jon Bannenberg. In fact, it was the last yacht the Australian designer penned before he died in 2002. The $200 million vessel was built by Lürssen and delivered to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison two years later in 2004. The 138-footer is characterized by large expanses of glass that let in plenty of the sun’s rays. In addition, it offers 86,000 square feet of living space brought to life by Seccombe Design. There are nine cabins for up to 18 guests and generous crew quarters for up to 46 crew. Elsewhere, you’ll find a gym, a cinema, a wine cellar and a basketball court. As for grunt, Rising Sun promises a maximum speed of 28 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots. She was last refitted in 2011 and is currently owned by billionaire David Geffen.

Lürssen: ‘Solandge’ — $150 Million

Lürssen’s Solandge is rumored to have cost $150 million to come to fruition, and you can tell. Delivered in 2013, the 279-footer is replete with the finest materials. The floor, for example, sports no less than 50 types of exotic wood. There are also around 50 samples of natural stone in the bathrooms. Designed by Espen Øino, Solandge has a sleek exterior with elegant, clean lines. Aileen Rodriguez’s interior, meanwhile, is full to the brim with extravagant amenities. The spa comprises multiple pools on different decks, along with a hammam and a sauna. In addition, the yacht features a beauty salon is equipped with a sink and crane that together creates “snow” à la a snow room, as well as a gym and a massage room. As Lürssen puts it, Solandge was built with pure yachting pleasure in mind.

9 The Rising Sun – 250 Millionen Euro

Die Yacht wurde ursprünglich 2004 für den Oracle Gründer  Larry Ellison gebaut. Im Jahr 2007 gab er bereits die Hälfte seiner Yacht-Anteile an David Geffen ab bevor er sie 2010 ganz verkaufte. Der Grund für den Verkauf war laut Ellison die unpraktische Größe der Yacht. Er lies sich später die kleinere Yacht „Musashi“ bauen.

Die „Rising Sun“ wurde wie auch die meisten anderen Luxusyachten in Deutschland gebaut und hat auf ihren 5 Decks mir rund 8000 m2 insgesamt 82 Räume. Das Deck besteht komplett aus Teak-Holz und hat einen eigenen Basketballplatz, welcher jederzeit als Hubschrauberlandeplatz umfunktioniert werden kann. Eine 45 köpfige Crew ist für das Wohl der bis zu 16 Gäste zuständig.  Oprah Winfrey machte übrigens bereits Urlaub auf dieser Yacht.

8 „A“ Motor-Yacht – 270 Millionen Euro

Die „A“ Motor-Yacht ist im Besitz des Russischen Milliardärs Andrey Melnichenko. Das Design wurde an ein Uboot bzw. an ein US-Kampfschiff mit Radard-Tarnfunktion angelehnt, wodurch diese einzigartige und besondere Form entstand. Auf der Vorderseite des Schiffs befindet sich ein Helipad und ein Pool. An der Rückseite befindet sich ein weiterer Pool und ein Lounge-Bereich mit Jacuzzi, welcher einen Glasboden besitzt um in die schiffseigene Disco hinunter zu sehen. Im Innenbereich befinden sich drei Aufzüge um in die Eignersuite als auch die sechs Gästesuiten zu gelangen. Das verbaute Glas soll auch einen Bombenangriff überstehen. Angeblich steht die Motor-Yacht mittlerweile zum Verkauf, da die Segelyacht „A“ (Platz 4) die Nachfolge der Motor-Yacht angetreten hat.

7 Dubai Yacht – 325 Millionen Euro

Platz 7 der teuersten Luxusyachten belegt diese Lady. Die Dubai, drittlängeste Yacht der Welt wurde ebenfalls in Deutschland von Blohm + Voss in Kooperation mit Lürssen gebaut. Jedoch wurde 1997 der Bau vom ursprünglichen Auftraggeber gestoppt und erst 2001 von Scheich „Muhammad bin Raschid Al Maktum“ übernommen. Der Herrscher des Emirates Dubai lies die gleichnamige und halbfertige Yacht inklusive Schmimmdock nach Dubai transportieren und von der lokal ansässigen Platinum Yachts FZCO Werft fertigstellen. Die Dubai war von 2006 – 2009 die längste der Luxusyachten der Welt und kann auf acht Decks bis zu 115 Gäste beherbergen.

6 „A“ – Die größte Segelyacht der Welt – 400 Millionen Euro

Die „SY A“ ist mit ihren drei Masten die größte Segelyacht der Welt und ebenfalls in Besitz des Russischen Milliardärs Andrey Melnichenko, welcher auch bereits die „A“ Motoryacht besitzt. Damit ist der Russe bereits das zweite Mal in unserer Liste vertreten. Die Masten sind dabei fast 90 Meter hoch und das größte der automatischen Segel hat eine Fläche von 1.767 m². Die A Segelyacht kann als Antrieb auf ihre drei Segeln zurückgreifen, aber auch mit den zwei verbauten Dieselaggregaten oder rein von zwei Elektromotoren betrieben werden. Das Deck besteht aus Teak-Holz. Erbaut wurde die größte Luxus-Segelyacht der Welt ebenfalls in Deutschland von der Werft Nobiskrug in Rendsburg.

5 Topaz Yacht – 420 Millionen Euro

Der Besteller und Besitzer der Topaz Superyacht ist Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan , Mitglied der Herrscherfamilie von Abu Dhabi. Der Scheich ist übrigens auch Besitzer des Premier League Fußballclubs Manchester City. Erbaut wurde die Yacht in Deutschland von Lürrsen in Bremen. Auf den acht Decks befinden sich zwei Hubschrauber Landeplätze und ein Jacuzzi. In 26 Kabinen bietet die Topaz einen Platz für bis zu 62 Gäste. Über die Innenausstattung ist leider sehr wenig bekannt. Star-Innendesigner Terence Disdale zeigt sich für das Interieur verantwortlich, der auch bei Arbramowitschs Mega-Yacht Hand anlegte.

4 Dilbar – 450 Millionen Euro

Die Dilbar Superyacht ist zwar nicht die längste Yacht, allerdings vom Volumen gesehen her die „größte“ Yacht der Welt. Auf 3.800 Quadratmeter Wohnfläche sollen in „nur“ 12 Luxus-Kabinen bis zu 24 Gäste Platz finden. Allerdings besitzt das Mega-Schiff 53 weitere Kabinen für die Crew. Der Luxus an Board ist also für den russischen Milliardär Alisher Usmanov (geschätztes Vermögen: 12,64 Milliarden Euro) und seine Gäste Programm. Die Dilbar besitzt den größten Pool, welcher in einer Yacht je verbaut wurde. Er soll 25 Meter lang sein und 180 Kubikmeter Wasser führen. Auf dem Deck befinden sich zwei Hubschrauber-Landeplätze. In nur 52 Monaten wurde die Yacht in der deutschen Werft Lürssen gefertigt.

3 Serene Yacht – 500 Millionen Euro

Die „Serene“ Yacht wurde vom Russischen Wodka Milliardär „Yuri Shefler“ bei der italienischen Werft Fincantieri in Auftrag gegeben und lief 2011 vom Stapel. Bill Gates hat sich die Yacht im Jahr 2014 für einen Urlaub ausgeliehen. Preis: 5 Millionen US-Dollar/Woche. Insgesamt finden 24 Gäste in 12 luxuriösen Kabinen Platz. Außerdem beinhaltet die Serene eine Kletterhalle, zwei Helipads, drei Swimmingpools, ein Kino und einen kompletten Spa Bereich. Unter Deck soll ein Unterwasser-Raum eingerichtet sein und genügend Platz für ein Uboot bieten. Die Serene belegt damit Platz 3 der teuersten Luxusyachten.

Im Jahr 2015 hat der Saudiarabische Prinzen „Mohammed bin Salman“ die Serene für 500 Millionen Euro gekauft und seit dem befindet sie sich in seinem Besitz. Angeblich ist das teuerste Gemälde der Welt „Salvator Mundi“ von Leonardo da Vinci an Board der Yacht. Es wurde 2017 für 450 Millionen US-Dollar versteigert und sollte eigentlich im Abu Dhabi Louvre ausgestellt werden. Der Prinzen soll das Gemälde allerdings so gefallen haben, dass er es auf seiner Yacht aufhängen lies. Diese Vermutung wurde jedoch bisher nicht bestätigt.

2 Azzam – Die größte Yacht der Welt – 530 Millionen Euro

Die „Azzam“ ist die längste Yacht der Welt und im Besitz des Präsidenten der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate: Scheich „Chalifa bin Zayid Al Nahyan“. Erbaut und fertig gestellt wurde das Wunderwerk der Technik in Bremen von der Lürssen Werft im Jahr 2013. Insgesamt ist die Yacht in sieben Decks unterteilt. Das Herzstück ist dabei der Azzam-Salon im mittleren Teil des Schiffes, welcher 29 Meter lang und 18 Meter breit ist und keine tragenden Stützen beinhaltet, also völlig offen gebaut ist. 94.000 PS treiben die Azzam auf eine Geschwindigkeit von bis zu 30 Knoten an. Ein Hubschrauber-Landeplatz ist bei dieser Größer sowieso schon Standard. 🙂

1 Eclipse – Die teuerste Yacht der Welt – 850 Millionen Euro

Der russische Multi-Milliardär Roman Abramowitsch ist der Besitzer der teuersten Yacht der Welt. Die „Eclipse“ war von 2010 bis zum Bau der „Azzam“ 2013 die längste Yacht der Welt und wurde in Hamburg gefertigt. Obwohl die Eclipse nach dem Stapellauf noch einmal eine Verlängerung bekam, musste Abramowitsch den Titel schnell wieder abgeben. Allerdings ist die Eclipse aufgrund von mehrfachen Aufrüstungen mittlerweile um einiges teurer als die Yacht des Scheichs. Ursprünglich lagen die Schätzungen des Kaufpreis bei rund 350 Millionen Euro.

Nach dem Umbau 2015 soll die teuerste Yacht der Welt fast eine Milliarde Euro wert sein . Sie bietet einen Platz für 36 Gäste und 70 Bedienstete und beinhaltet eine eigene Disco, ein Kino, zwei Pools (einer davon 16 Meter lang), 2 Hubschrauber-Landeplätze, 4 Motorboote und 20 Jetskis. Außerdem ist ein unglaubliches Sicherheitssystem verbaut, welches mit einem Raketenabwehrsystem und einem Uboot für den Ernstfall ausgestattet ist. Zudem wurden gepanzerte Wände und schusssicheres Glas verbaut und auch gegen Paparazzis will der Russe mit einem Laser-System vorgehen, welches die Digitalkameras blendet.

As Far As You Can Sea: World’s Largest Superyachts

Multimillion-dollar mega yachts.

by Emma Treagus Published on February 2, 2024

At Luxe Digital, we independently research, review, and recommend products we love and that we think you will love, too. Learn more about how we curate the best products for you .

With onboard swimming pools, cinemas, helicopter landing pads, and spas, the world’s largest superyachts have more facilities than your ‘average’ five-star hotel.

Owned by some of the world’s wealthiest people—along with a few anonymous owners who’d prefer to keep their luxury transport a secret—these mega yachts redefine the word “boat” into something indescribably sleek, stylish, and seriously impressive. 

If superyachts are your thing, you’ll want to read on for all the facts and figures on all of the largest yachts in the world.

The 26 largest yachts in the world

Multimillion-dollar mega yachts: our ranking methodology.

A superyacht or mega yacht is typically a motor yacht or sailing yacht with a length of 30 meters (100 feet) or more. For this ranking, we looked at the superyachts and luxury expedition mega yachts that are used privately or made available for charter. We excluded so-called ‘residential superyachts’ (think Njord and The World), which are essentially luxury apartment buildings at sea where people own private residences inside the superyacht rather than the whole yacht. By researching diverse, reliable sources like Wikipedia and the Superyacht Times, we compile a list of the largest yachts in the world.

Curious about other striking superlatives? Check our round-up of the most expensive cars in the world and the most expensive private jets in the world . They are both perfectly good alternatives to owning a yacht. And if you prefer to stay home, we’ve ranked the biggest homes and the most expensive houses in the world to give you some inspiration too.

26. Y721 (aka Koru) | 417 feet—127m

Ever wonder where Jeff Bezos spends his downtime? As of today, we’re predicting it to be on his $500 million superyacht. Y721—nicknamed Koru—is 127m long. And featuring three sky-high slender masts, Koru is said to be the largest sailing yacht in the world . 

With dark exteriors and natural wooden decks, Koru is inspired by another one of Bezos’ yachts—the Black Pearl. The clean lines and classically curved bow speak to an understated elegance despite the yacht’s mammoth size. While a long line of portals indicates at least 9 guest cabins. In light of all the secrecy surrounding Koru, we doubt Bezos will ever charter her out, but we can still dream.

25. Al Mirqab | 436 feet—133m

Adorned with cascading chandeliers and gold accents, Al Mirqab is renowned for its unrivaled interiors. Surrounded by suspended glass artworks, a grand staircase floats throughout the four floors. And inspired by authentic Arabian styles, the magnificent superyacht is reminiscent of a magic carpet ride through the seas . 

Built for the former Prime Minister of Qatar, Peterswerft-Kusch spared no expense in delivering Al Mirqab to an impossibly high standard for luxury. The large swimming pool is a standout feature as it opens up into the sea, creating the ultimate playground for adults. Al Mirqab has a capacity for up to 60 guests and is manned by an equal number of crew. Although you have to be invited by the politician himself as Al Mirqab isn’t available for private charter.

24. Serene | 439 feet—134m

Adeptly named, the magnificent superyacht embodies the serenity of a life at sea. Serene was built in Italy for a Russian owner in 2011. She was leased to Bill Gates for the Summer in 2014 for $5 million per week. 

Designed by Reymond Langton, the 134m mega yacht marries elegant sophistication with state-of-the-art technologies. The seven decks leave ample space for guests to soak in scintillating views. While the underwater viewing room—nicknamed the Nemo room—is a permanent gallery of resplendent sealife. The real-life snow room makes up to four inches of snow. And whilst this may seem odd when your billionaire boss asks for snow—you make it snow.

23. Crescent | 445 feet – 136 m

Yet another Lurssen masterpiece, Crescent pays homage to classic naval designs with traditional architecture and elegant interiors. Formerly named Project Thunder, she was built in Germany and delivered to Igor Sechin in 2018. The Russian oligarch’s superyacht was seized by Spain after sanctions were placed on Russia in 2022. 

Crescent features low bulwarks and full-height windows to maximize the view from the center of the boat. Her distinctive wing station provides unrivaled views for up to 18 guests. But don’t get your hopes up—Crescent is strictly for private use only and isn’t available for charter. 

22. Savarona | 446 feet – 136m

Savarona is the second-largest yacht built by Blohm & Voss and spends most of her time in the Mediterranean. This luxury superyacht is one of the oldest in the market — a perfect fusion of traditional charm and modern facilities. 

Previously named Gunes Dil, Savarona was designed by Cox & Stevens, with interior design carefully handled by Donald Starkey. She’s available to charter on a weekly basis and has been refurbished over the years. Back in the day, her cost price was $4 million, and in 1989, she was chartered by Kahraman Sadikoglu, owner of the Turkish Sadikoglu Group, who spent an estimated $50 million on refurbishing her from top to bottom.

21. Flying Fox | 446 feet – 136m

Flying Fox is known as the most expensive charter yacht in the world , and a week aboard will set you back around $3 million. Chartered by the one and only power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z in 2021, it’s filled to the brim with all of the luxury facilities you could ever possibly want. 

The Flying Fox is rumored to be owned by Jeff Bezos, although that’s a claim that’s never been totally certified. She spends most of her time in the Mediterranean, specifically Cannes, Capri, and Sardinia, although she’s recently visited Norway, too. She can accommodate the largest helicopters on the market, and it reportedly took more than 50 meetings with her owner for interior design to be completed.

20. Rising Sun | 454 feet – 138m

The Rising Sun’s original owner, Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle Corporation, sold her in 2010 as he considered her too large. Famously used by David Geffen for self-isolation, Rising Sun has also been a popular hang-out spot for celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Beatrice, the Princess of York. 

She’s a Superyacht with impressive attention to detail like interiors kitted out in teak and onyx and endless features like a full gym , a large wine cellar, a sauna, and a spa. She’s got a full-size basketball court that doubles up as a helicopter landing pad and a private cinema for those long evenings spent at sea.

19. Al Salamah | 457 feet – 139m

Al Salamah is part of the Omani Royal fleet and started her very secretive life in Genoa. Known as the world’s biggest superyacht right up until 2016, she’s a sleek masterpiece of a ship, with a distinctive cream color and beach club design. 

Al Salamah does everything in multiples, from the five galleys onboard (the main galley, a bakery, a crew galley, an owner’s diet galley, and an Arab galley), three hospitals (one for the owner, one for guests, and one for the crew) and 2,000 sqm of floor space. She was put on sale briefly for $280 million USD, before being delisted and instead given as a gift to the Crown Prince of Bahrain. 

18. Solaris | 458 feet – 139m

Everything about Solaris was supposed to be kept a secret when she was being built—a secret that didn’t last long when her huge size was spotted undergoing sea trials in the North Sea. One of this Superyacht’s main attractions is her beach club on the top floor: the perfect spot for relaxation during those long days out at sea. 

That beach club comes complemented with endless other stylish amenities, like a large helipad, sun deck, and a crane to launch tenders, toys, and subs. Interior design is largely unknown, but, if it’s anything as sleek and white as its exteriors, it’s sure to be impressive.

17. Scheherazade | 459 feet – 140m

Two helicopter landing pads, two outdoor Jacuzzis, and two outdoor fire pits: Scheherazade doesn’t hold back with not only the essentials but also the luxuries. Previously named Lightning, “Scheherazade” is mostly associated with a female character in the Middle Eastern folk tales in the series One Thousand and One Nights. 

Not much is known about this superyacht, and even her birth and building process were referred to under a codename: Project Lightning. No one involved in her creation, even Lurssen, has revealed anything about her interiors or her owner. All that’s really known is that she sailed from Germany to Norway initially after completion. 

16. Ocean Victory | 460 feet – 140m

Ocean Victory has traveled all over the world, from Europe to Southeast Asia and back again. Owned by Russian billionaire Viktor Rashnikov, she’s the upgraded vessel to follow his purchase of the 76-meter Ebony Shine. 

She’s one designed with pure luxury in mind, from the six individual swimming pools onboard to the 300-square meter spa area. She’s beautiful both inside and out, with a unique concept designed by Espen Oeino and interior designer Alberto Pinto. The largest superyacht ever built in Italy, Ocean Victory shows some of the finest in the world when it comes to premium quality adventures at sea.

15. Yas | 463 feet – 141m

Yas is known best for its seamless and rather unusual design — one that’s a little different from most superyachts out there. The owner of Yas wanted a yacht that lived up to his own heritage; one with a backbone reminiscent of the navy and with abstract lines throughout. 

He chose an existing boat in Abu Dhabi, which was deconstructed within the region before being shipped off and renovated into the wonder that it is today. The Yas yacht was originally a Dutch navy frigate, which you’d never guess from strolling around onboard today.

14. Nord | 465 feet – 142m

Nord’s distinctive bow design has never been seen before on a yacht. That’s one of the first things you’ll notice about her. The next thing you’ll notice is her unusual design, which verges on battle-esque and has been called “ a warship wearing a tuxedo ” by Dan Lenard of the Italian design studio Nuvolari-Lenard. 

She’s one of the best superyachts out there for fun, with a sports and diving center on the lower deck, a swimming pool higher up, overlooking the ocean, and a fleet of tenders. She was designed for global exploration: a yacht that will calmly cruise her way all across the world.

13. Sailing Yacht A | 469 feet—142.8m

Challenging the status quo and pushing design boundaries, Sailing Yacht A is an enigma. The sail-assisted superyacht was built in Germany and delivered to Russian tycoon Andrey Melnichenko in 2017. However, she was seized by the Italian police force, Guardia di Finanza, in 2022 after sanctions were placed on Russian businessmen following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 

Distinguished by soaring rotating carbon fiber masts, Nobiskrug’s hybrid approach to superyachts makes Sailing Yacht A more eco-conscious than other luxury yachts of her size. The u nderwater viewing pod molded into the keel speaks to her unrivaled innovation. And many balconies are enclosed by some of the largest pieces of curved glass ever made. 

12. El Mahrousa | 478 feet – 146m

El Mahrousa had a few different names in her time, ranging from the translated “The Protected” to El Horreya, which in Arabic translates to “Freedom.” It’s not surprising that she’s had more than one name when you take into account her age. As the oldest superyacht in the world, she’s undergone a lot of restoration over time, including multiple lengthenings and faster engines. 

She was renamed back to El Mahrousa in 2000 and gained even more recognition for being the first ship to cross the new Suez Canal extension in 2015. Back in her original days, she was built on the River Thames and took her first trip in 1867.

11. OK | 479 feet—146m

Delivered in Japan in 1982, OK is one of the largest and most unique superyachts in the world. Sprawling over 479 feet, the water giant is engineered to submerge almost seventy percent. This is accredited to the work done by Karmarine Shipyard. While the majority of the vessel was built by Oshima Shipping, it was privately converted to a semi-submersible yacht in Turkey. 

The superlative finishing on OK superyacht was designed by Timur Bozca, winner of the Younger Designer of the Year award in 2015. The blueprint being as many games as possible. The extraordinary vessel has the uncanny ability to hold over seventy toys, including a sailing yacht, a sea plane, tenders, buggies and even a tennis court.

10. Opera | 480 feet—146.4m 

Like many of the most majestic water titans, Opera was delivered by Lurssen in Germany and built for Abu Dhabi royalty. This time, the owner is Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, son of the founder of the United Arab Emirates. And while it may not be quite as astronomical as Lurssen’s previous builds—Azzam, Blue and Dilbar—the streamlined vessel is equally impressive onboard. 

The three-story superyacht proves large enough for a pair of helipads and two swimming pools, amongst many other toys, while simultaneously making room for up to 48 guests and 80 crew members. When it comes to the interior, details are sparse, but we do know that it was designed by Terence Disdale, a London firm renowned for creating bespoke luxury spaces. 

9. Prince Abdulaziz | 482 feet – 147m

The Prince Abdulaziz’s yacht was ordered by King Fahd, who named her after his son Prince Abdul Aziz. Now, she’s owned by his brother, Abdullah. Just one of the yachts owned by the Saudi royal family, she’s spotted frequently throughout Europe, especially in Cannes, where the royal family owns a property. 

She’s been redecorated once — in 2007 — in a project that took 15 months to complete, without even taking into account the rest of the ship’s upkeep. The Prince Abdulaziz is known for its combination of bold colors and fusion of traditional and modern design, thanks to its influence from the late David Hicks.

8. A+ | 483 feet – 147m

What do you do when the name “A” is already taken for your superyacht? Choose the next closest thing: A+. Previously named Topaz, this superyacht was the world’s fourth-largest luxury yacht when she was built, before being stripped of that particular title only a few years later. 

Nevertheless, she’s a seriously impressive superyacht, with endless facilities like a large jacuzzi, double helicopter landing pads, a swimming pool with a swimming platform and underwater lights, as well as a fitness hall, cinema, and a large conference room. She’s also well equipped with water toys, like jet skis, inflatable boats, a catamaran, and even a mini-submarine.

7. Al Said | 508 feet – 155m

Another Superyacht built, shrouded in secrecy, Al-Said was referred to as “Project Sunflower” the entire time she was being created, right up until she was delivered to her owner in 2008. Not much is known about Al Said, from her movements through to her amenities — although she is known to have a huge concert room with space for a full 50-person orchestra. 

Currently, she’s flying the flag of Oman and has spent a lot of time in its surrounding waters. Her interior was styled by British designer design house RWD, with exterior design being credited to Espen Oeino. When she was delivered to the Sultan of Oman, she replaced a previous ship of a smaller size. 

6. Dilbar | 511 feet – 156m

Dilbar, or Project Omar, as it was originally known as, is another superyacht designed with the help of exterior expert Espen Oeino, but with interiors strikingly designed by Andrew Winch. Dilbar is famously known as the world’s largest yacht by gross tonnage (interior volume) but as the fifth-longest superyacht in the world. 

She’s home to a spa pool and beach club, as well as a large private cinema, spacious cabins set high on the main deck, a spacious dining room, and a salon with its own piano. She’s just as classy and beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

5. Blue | 527 feet—160.6m

Sunday blues simply cease to exist on one of the world’s most extravagant superyachts. The elegant behemoth was built for member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi and billionaire, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan in 2022. Valued at over $600 million, Blue is one of the most expensive superyachts in the world. And with a strong emphasis on the environment, this superyacht is also one of the most sustainable. 

Blue strives to be as environmentally friendly as possible. She is equipped with a highly efficient Diesel-Electric Hybrid Propulsion Concept developed by Lürssen’s own engineering specialists. And the wastewater treatment plant allows water to be disposed of in drinking water quality.

4. Dubai | 531 feet – 162m

Dubai had multiple names in the planning stages—including Panhandle, Platinum, and Golden Star. Owned by the ruler of Dubai, it was aptly named after its home country and comes with all of the luxurious amenities you’d expect from such a name. 

The Dubai comes complete with a huge swimming pool and two jacuzzis. Further down, you’ll find a large dining room with striking blue and burgundy decor and space for up to 90 guests. Dubai usually spends her time moored at Sheikh Mohammed’s private island in front of his summer palace in Dubai. She’s basically the definition of a floating palace.

3. Eclipse | 533 feet – 162.5m

It took around five years for Eclipse to be built from start to finish. While she was always designed to be a huge, luxurious Superyacht, the focus was more on decking it out appropriately rather than breaking any records. An award-winning superyacht, she’s incredibly spacious, with endless rooms to explore and a sleek, neutral color palette running through. 

The Eclipse’s owner, Roman Abramovich, was more focused on facilities: he wanted more than one helicopter pad and a large swimming pool, too. Other than that, designer Terry Disdale had free reign for the rest of the superyacht. It’s just as much a clean piece of architectural styling as it is a stunning experience on deck.

2. Fulk Al Salamah | 538 feet – 164m

Fulk Al Salamah translates to “Ship of Peace” and that’s something that sounds like a given when you’ve taken a look at this superyacht’s incredible layout. Developed under the codename Project Saffron, Fulk Al Salamah is more of a support vessel than she is a typical superyacht. 

While she might still come complete with all of the necessities for a particularly relaxing voyage, she’s more so known for being a transport ship for the Royal Navy of Oman. She’s also used as a sort of friendship boat — pun intended — and is often sailed across the world with the intention of strengthening ties with the Sultanate. In some ports, influential people are welcomed onboard.

1. Azzam | 590 feet – 181m

Most superyachts in the top 10 category have a few mere inches between sizes, but the Azzam shoots far ahead with a large amount of extra length. The largest superyacht in the world, she was never designed to win the title — rather just to be a sleek and elegant vessel. Azzam was crafted backward, with the plans for her interior confirmed long before her exterior was fully signed off. 

Her length only came to be as such to incorporate everything required for the interiors, which added an extra 35 meters to her overall size. She’s also designed to look smaller than she actually is, with a blend of indoor and outdoor living. It took more than 4,000 people to build Azzam , clocking up six million man-hours over a period of four years.

The most expensive yacht in the world

The fact that the History Supreme, the world’s most expensive superyacht, comes coated in gold, is only part of the reason for its high cost. A superyacht with a real-life Midas touch, it was sold to an anonymous Malaysian businessman for $4.8 billion. 

Robert Kuok, the richest Malaysian businessman, is the rumored owner of History Supreme, but no one has confirmed for sure. The History Supreme also comes with plenty of other impressive touches: a master bedroom decked out in platinum, a wall feature made from meteoric stone, and a genuine T-Rex dinosaur bone, to add to the list. 

She took three years to build from scratch and comes with 10,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum. Other seriously luxe features are her 68 kilograms 24-carat gold Aquavista Panoramic Wall Aquarium and a liquor bottle adorned with a rare 18.5-carat diamond . The base of the vessel comes wrapped in gold, too.

Builder: Lurssen Yachts

Complete with a missile defense system, a bullet-proof master suite, and the ability to reach speeds of 35 mph, the Azzam was made with security in mind. 

While the vessel is the largest superyacht in the world, it was designed with elegance in mind, too. The Azzam was made in reverse, with the interior plans drawn up before the exterior plans, making the Azzam sleek and efficient. 

5. Crescent

Size: 445 ft.

Despite being one of the world’s most expensive superyachts, the Crescent is a bit of a mystery—even to insiders in the yachting world. The ship’s owners have remained anonymous and little is known about the ship’s interior. The few details we know, however, are impressive. 

The yacht has a beach club, large swimming pools, a huge master suite, and a state-of-the-art entertainment system.

Crew Size: 60 members 

Size: 461 ft.

Builder: Lloyd Werft

If you love water toys and subs, then you’ll likely find the Solaris impressive. The Solaris features a crane to launch toys, subs, and tenders. 

One of the major attractions of this vessel is the beach club on the top floor. It’s an ideal location for soaking in the sun and relaxing after a long day of play. 

The Solaris is an explorer yacht and is also the largest yacht built by Lloyd Werft. We don’t have many details on the interior design, but if the sleek, white, beautiful exterior is any indication, it’s likely exquisite.

Price: $ 527 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 79 members

Size: 482 ft. long

Year: 2012 

While this yacht was originally known as Topaz, it now goes by “A+”. When it first launched, it was the fourth largest luxury yacht in the world. Though the A+ was robbed of that title a few years later, it’s still an impressive superyacht. 

The amenities include a jacuzzi, swimming pool, double helipad, cinema, gym, and multiple conference rooms. 

Price: $500 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Nord was designed for global exploration and has an extremely distinctive exterior design. The bow aesthetic has never been seen before on any yacht and it makes for a striking first impression. 

With a sports and diving center on the lower deck and a swimming pool higher up, the superyacht is an athlete’s dream. 

9. Fulk Al Salamah

Crew Size: 100 members

Size: 538 ft.

Builder: Mariotti

With a name that translates to “Ship of Peace”, this yacht was designed for a genuinely relaxing voyage. Although the yacht isn’t currently used for recreation (it operates as a support vessel and transport ship for the Royal Navy of Oman), the ship has the same layout and amenities of a superyacht. 

10. Motor Yacht A

Price: $ 440 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 42 members

Size: 400 ft.

With a 2,500-square-foot master bedroom, a disco, a helicopter hanger, a 30’ separate speedboat, and a glass-bottom swimming pool, this yacht deserves its “A” name. 

It’s widely considered to be one of the largest superyachts and can accommodate up to 14 guests and a 42-member crew,

11. Flying Fox

Price: $400 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 54 members

Size: 446 ft.

Known as the most expensive charter yacht in the world, the Flying Fox has all the amenities of a floating resort, including a cinema, beauty salon, luxury spa, pool, and gym. It’s little wonder that Beyonce and Jay-Z chartered the vessel in 2021.

 A week aboard this yacht costs around $3 million. 

Crew Size: 88 crew members

Size: 531 ft. 

Builder: Unknown

This yacht carries a rich history. It’s owned by the ruler of Dubai (hence the name), though it went through several name iterations during the planning process, including Panhandle, Golden Star, and Platinum. 

The fine dining room on the lower deck is massive—it can accommodate up to 90 guests—and is painted in stunning blue and burgundy tones. 

This floating palace features VIP and social areas and a split-level owner’s deck. 

13. Radiant

Price: $ 320 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 44 members

Size: 361 ft.

If you have a fear of pirates on the high seas, you’ll appreciate one of the more unique features of the Radiant: the water cannon! This superyacht is equipped with a high-powered water cannon to defend against pirate attack. 

It also has multiple swimming pools, a helipad, a massage room, a movie theater, a gym, a swimming platform, and a jacuzzi. 

14. Al Said

Price: $ 300 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 154 members

Size: 508 ft.

This superyacht was built in secrecy, and not much is known about it even today. The Al Said has a colossal concert room with enough space for a 50-person orchestra. Other than that, her amenities and movements remain a mystery. 

Price: $300 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 52 members

Size: 439 ft.

Builder: Fincantieri

Year: 2011 

It’s safe to say they spared no expense during the building of the Serene; It’s currently the tenth most expensive yacht in the world.

The Serene has multiple swimming pools, two helipads, a submarine, and an underwater viewing room.

16. Pelorus

Crew Size: 46 members

Size: 377 ft.

The Pelorus is the kind of yacht that exists on a plane above the rest. It’s one of the biggest yachts in the world and can cruise at a top speed of 20 knots. The private deck attached to the master suite is entirely private and can’t be seen from any other part of the yacht. 

The yacht also includes two helipads, landing boats, and jet skis. 

Price: $256 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 48 members

Size: 360 ft.

Dilbar was originally known as Project Omar and includes a spa, pool, beach club, private cinema, and spacious cabins that are as high up as the main deck. It even has a spacious dining room and a salon with a piano. 

It may be smaller than the other yachts on this list, but it’s classy and spectacular both inside and out.

18. Seven Seas

Price: $250 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 30 members

Size: 358 ft.

Builder: Oceanco

This is the second Seven Seas yacht built by Oceanco, the 2010 version of the yacht now being named Man of Steel. The owner being the master director, Steven Spielberg himself, this yacht is known for its luxury cabins and beautiful architecture. While it may not have the bells and whistles of some superyachts, the Seven Seas demands to be admired.

19. Al Mirqab

Crew Size: 55 members

Size: 436 ft.

Builder: Peterswerft-Kusch

Year: 2008 

When Al Mirqab was completed in 2008, it was called the second most beautiful yacht in the world. 

The Al Mirqab features 10 staterooms, VIP suites, a helipad, an enormous swimming pool, a cinema, a jacuzzi, and all the watersports equipment a person could want.

20. Lady Moura

Price: $ 210 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 60 members

Size: 344 ft.

Year: 1990 

This superyacht comes with a wide variety of impressive features that include a pool with a retractable roof, a helicopter, and ship-wide decorative lettering and embellishments made of 24-karat gold. But perhaps most impressive is the sand-covered hydraulic platform that extends out the side of the vessel to give guests a unique, beach-like experience in the middle of the ocean. 

An interesting experience Lady Moura had was when she ran aground during Cannes film festival in 2007 and took on water.

21. Octopus

Price: $ 200 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 56 members

Size: 414 ft.

Year: 2003 

Few yachts can compete with the lavish interior of the Octopus. This superyacht includes a large study, a basketball court, a glass-bottom swimming pool, a recording studio, and an outside bar with a whirlpool. 

You’ll also find not one, but two submarines aboard and two helipads.

22. The Rising Sun

Price: $200 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 45 members

Size: 453 ft.

Builder: Lurssen 

This massive vessel has 82 rooms over five different floors. It also has a basketball court, a movie theater, and a wine cellar. 

The Rising Sun is currently the 12th largest superyacht in the world, and it continues to undergo numerous updates to its fixtures and fittings.

23. Ecstasea

Crew Size: 24 members

Size: 282 ft.

Builder: Feadship

The Ecstasea (get it, Ecstasy?) has more than just a clever name—Thanks to the ship’s many artistic design details, the superyacht has won multiple design awards for its stellar interior.

The Ecstasea features a massage room, gym, sauna, several indoor and outdoor bars, and a steam room. 

24. Man of Steel

Price: $ 184 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 28 members 

Size: 282.2 ft.

The Man of Steel has a contemporary and elegant interior that was designed with careful attention to detail.

Packed to the brim with luxury features, this yacht includes a touch-and-go helipad, a cinema, a private owner’s deck, and a variety of custom-built tenders. 

25. Solandge

Price: $ 180 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Size: 280 ft.

The Solandge is another yacht-for-charter that costs about $1.1 million for a week-long charter vacation. This superyacht has numerous unique facilities that make it worth the expensive price tag, such as eight VIP suits, a glass art installation by Murano, and a grand piano. 

Price: $ 150 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 25 members

Size: 322 ft.

Builder: Abeking & Rasmussen

The Aviva boasts a full-size tennis court and a collection of precious art pieces (including a Picasso). 

The ship’s interior prioritizes comfort and a welcoming feeling of “home,” as the ship’s owner lives on the yacht for several months a year.

27. Lionheart

Price: $150 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Size: 295 ft.

Builder: Benetti

Year: 2016 

With six VIP suites, luxury pools, and private balconies, it makes sense why Lionheart has attracted famous faces such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kate Moss, and Simon Cowell. Lionheart is Benetti’s largest yacht since Nabila, which was later called Trump Princess and owned by (you guessed it) Donald Trump.

28. The Maltese Falcon

Crew Size: 18 members

Size: 289 ft.

Builder: Perini Navi

The Maltese Falcon is a superyacht that turns heads wherever it sails. It’s one of the most exclusive yachts on the charter market, and when you get a glimpse at this floating masterpiece, it’s easy to see why. 

This vessel has both the award-winning performance of a sailing yacht and the onboard space of a motor yacht—It’s the best of both worlds. 

29. The Venus

Price: $ 138 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Crew Size: 22 members

Size: 260 ft.

Builder: Feadship Yachts

Venus is a well-known superyacht, due to its famous owner (it was custom-built for Apple founder Steve Jobs) and its remarkably unique exterior. With its metallic silver paint job and stainless steel details, the ship is a visual spectacle.

Because the build of this yacht was shrouded in secrecy, little is known about the interior or the layout. 

30. Savarona

Price: $100 million (This price is an estimate, the exact price is not known)

Size: 408 ft.

Year: 1931 

Savarona is one of the oldest luxury superyachts on the market and is available for charter. While it has been refurbished over the years, Savarona still retains some traditional charm that makes it a unique experience separate from any other superyacht. 

Amenities include waterskiing, windsurfing, a movie theater, two spas, and two separate sauna and steam rooms.

Die Top 10 teuersten Luxusyachten der Welt

By Svenja Schumacher

Wie kann man sich nicht für ihn interessieren, den Lebensstil der reichsten Menschen der Welt – luxuriöse Villen, Privatjets oder sogar schwimmende Paläste: Luxusyachten. Milliardäre auf der ganzen Welt liefern sich einen Kampf, um der “König der Meere” zu werden. Nach den luxuriösesten Autos und den 5 einzigartigsten Privatjets der Welt , präsentiert Ihnen Fly Aeolus die Top 10 Auswahl der Luxusyachten und die weltweit teuerste Yacht überhaupt.

10. Al Mirqab: 250 Millionen Euro

Gebaut von der deutschen Peters Werft in Wewelsfleth, unter dem Namen “May project”, ist sie heute im Besitz von Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani, dem ehemaligen Premierminister von Katar.

Mit einer Länge von 133 Metern verfügt die Al Mirqab über 10 Luxus-Suiten für 24 Gäste, darunter zwei VIP-Suiten. Sie kann insgesamt 60 Passagiere beherbergen, die 60 Besatzungsmitglieder nicht mitgerechnet. Sie verfügt über einen Jacuzzi auf dem Achterdeck, einen Swimmingpool, eine Bibliothek, ein Kino und einen Hubschrauberlandeplatz.

9. Rising Sun: 300 Millionen Euro

Gebaut von der deutschen Werft Lürssen Yachts, wurde die Rising Sun ursprünglich vom CEO der Oracle Corporation, Lawrence Ellison, bestellt. Letzterer ist aber inzwischen Miteigentümer von Ellison und David Geffen, einem der Schöpfer von DreamWorks SKG.

Diese Yacht hat zweiundachtzig Zimmer, verteilt auf fünf Etagen. Es gibt einen Fitnessraum, ein Kino, einen Weinkeller und einen Basketballplatz, der auch als Hubschrauberlandeplatz dient. Im Jahr 2014 wurde der hintere Teil des Schiffes komplett umgestaltet, um einen riesigen Carbon-Pool unterzubringen. Die Arbeiten wurden in den Werften von La Ciotat, an der französischen Riviera , durchgeführt.

8. Serene: 350 Millionen Euro

Die Serene war im Besitz des russischen Milliardärs Yuri Scheffler, bevor sie von Mohammed bin Salman, Erbprinz und Vize-Premierminister von Saudi-Arabien, gekauft wurde. Dieses 134 Meter lange Boot hat unendlich viele Details, die es zu einer der luxuriösesten Yachten der Welt machen.

Diese Mega-Yacht wurde von der italienischen Werft Fincanyieri gebaut. Sie hat 2.700 m² Wohnfläche, darunter 12 Luxuskabinen, die bis zu 24 Passagiere beherbergen können. Sie ist fast 20 Meter hoch und verfügt über 7 Decks, zwei Hubschrauberlandeplätze, ein Bar-Restaurant, eine Bibliothek, ein Spa, ein Theater und ein Lager, das andere Boote, einschließlich eines U-Boots, aufnehmen kann.

7. A+ (ex Topaz): 400 Millionen Euro

Das Topaz ist im Besitz des Milliardärs Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyane, derzeitiger Vize-Premierminister der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate und Mitglied der Königsfamilie von Abu Dhabi.

Gebaut wurde dieses Seeungeheuer von der deutschen Schiffbaufirma Lürssen Yachts . Auf mehr als 147 Metern gibt es zwei Hubschrauberlandeplätze, einen Fitnessraum, einen Konferenzraum und einen Kinoraum. Außerdem gibt es zwei Jacuzzis auf dem hinteren Deck, neben dem Pool. Die acht Decks sind durch einen Aufzug verbunden, der 26 Luxus-Suiten bedient, die alle für bis zu 52 Gäste ausgestattet sind.

6. Dubaï: 450 Millionen Euro

Die vom deutschen Industriekonzern Blohm+Voss gebaute, 162 Meter lange Yacht gehört Mohammed ben Rachid Al Maktoum, dem derzeitigen Emir von Dubai.

Seine Einrichtungen sind für über sechzig Gäste ausgelegt. Dubai verfügt über 2 Lounges, einen großen Speisesaal für 30 Personen, einen Hubschrauberlandeplatz, einen Swimmingpool auf dem hinteren Deck, drei Jacuzzis, einen Nachtclub, ein Spa, ein Kino, einen Weinkeller und ein Lagerhaus. das Jetskis und andere Tauchausrüstung aufnehmen kann.

Brauchen Sie eine kleine Verschnaufpause von diesen ganzen Luxusyachten und überlegen Sie schon, was ein Flug zu den schönsten Yachthäfen Europas kostet? Dann können Sie gerne mit unseren Preisrechner eine erste Idee der Kosten bekommen.

5. Die Segelyacht “A”: 500 Millionen Euro

Weiter geht es in unsere Auswahl mit der Segelyacht “A”, die sich von all ihren Konkurrenten abhebt, da sie die größte Segelyacht der Welt ist. Sie ist im Besitz des russischen Milliardärs Andrey Melnichenko, Industrieller und Philanthrop.

Diese außergewöhnliche Jacht wurde von der deutschen Werft Nobiskrug gebaut. Mit einer Länge von 140 Metern beherbergt dieses maritime Meisterwerk eine Sporthalle, einen riesigen Swimmingpool mit Spa, eine Unterwasser-Beobachtungsplattform, einen Hubschrauberlandeplatz und ein U-Boot. Es bietet Platz für rund sechzig Passagiere, einschließlich der Besatzung. Ihre technischen Eigenschaften sind beeindruckend: Die “A” ist eine ökologische Yacht, die mit fortschrittlicher elektrischer Technologie ausgestattet ist. So ist sie mit einem drehzahlvariablen Hybrid-Antriebssystem ausgestattet, mit zwei 3600 kW Dieselmotoren und zwei 4300 kW Elektromotoren.

4. Azzam: 550 Millionen Euro

Hinter dieser überdimensionalen Yacht steckt einmal mehr die deutsche Schiffbaufirma Lürssen Yachts. Dieses Wunder gehört Scheich Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyane, Emir von Abu Dhabi und Präsident der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate. Sie war die größte Privatyacht der Welt, bevor die REV OCEAN mit einer Länge von 182 Metern ihren Platz einnahm.

Laut ihrem Erbauer ist diese Yacht eine der komplexesten Yachten, die je gebaut wurden. Auch wenn wir nicht genau wissen, was sich im Inneren befindet, wissen wir, dass sie einen Hubschrauberlandeplatz, ein Kino, einen Nachtclub, ein Raketenabwehrsystem und ein U-Boot hat. Das Interieur, getreu dem anspruchsvollen Geschmack des Emirs, ist von Designer Christophe Leoni gezeichnet.

3. Dilbar: 600 Millionen Euro

Wir sind gerade in die Top 3 der teuersten Luxusyachten der Welt eingestiegen.

Ebenfalls von der deutschen Firma Lürssen gebaut, ist die Bilbar im Besitz des russischen Oligarchen und Geschäftsmannes Alicher Ousmanov. Dieser Name bezieht sich einfach auf den Vornamen seiner Mutter.

Mit einer Gesamtlänge von 156 Metern ist sie die 4. längste Yacht der Welt. Diese Yacht hat auch den größten Innenpool, der jemals auf einer Yacht installiert wurde: 25 Meter Länge mit einer Kapazität von 180m3 Wasser. Wir können auch 2 Hubschrauberlandeplätze finden und 40 Gäste können bequem untergebracht werden, wenn man weiß, dass die Crew aus 80 Personen besteht.

2. Eclipse: 700 Millionen Euro

Der russische Oligarch und Milliardär Roman Abramovich ist der stolze Besitzer der zweitteuersten Yacht der Welt. Mit einer Länge von etwas mehr als 163 Metern wurde die Innen- und Außendekoration von dem britischen Designer-Architekten Terence Disdale entworfen. Mit 6 Decks und 24 Kabinen bietet sie Platz für rund 40 Gäste und 70 Crew-Mitglieder.

Diese Luxus-Acht wurde von der deutschen Industriegruppe Blohm+Voss gebaut. Es verfügt über einen Nachtclub, einen Kinosaal, ein riesiges Aquarium, eine Kunstgalerie, eine Bank, ein Casino, einen Weinkeller, ein Spa, zwei Hubschrauberlandeplätze und einen Innenhafen mit einer Kapazität von drei großen Schnellbooten, Dutzenden von Jetskis und einem U-Boot. Außerdem verfügt es über ein sehr hohes Sicherheitsniveau mit einem Überwachungssystem mit Einbruchserkennung, gepanzerten Wänden und kugelsicherer Verglasung, einem Raketenabwehrsystem und einem digitalen Anti-Paparazzi-Fotosystem.

1. History Supreme: 4 Milliarden Euro

Endlich, hier ist die teuerste Yacht der Welt. Diese ultra-luxuriöse Yacht soll dem reichsten Mann Malaysias, Robert Kuok, gehören. Eine der erstaunlichsten Eigenschaften ist ihre geringe Größe im Vergleich zu ihrem Preis: 30 Meter Länge. Insgesamt ist sie damit 120 Meter kürzer als die wichtigsten Konkurrenten der Luxusyachten.

Es sind jedoch die in ihrem Design verwendeten Edelmetalle, die sie zur teuersten und luxuriösesten Yacht der Welt machen. Komplett mit Gold verziert (100 Tonnen insgesamt für ihre Konzeption), ist diese Yacht nichts anderes als eine luxuriöse Überbietung und hat sogar ein riesiges Aquarium aus 24-karätigem Gold, diamantene Schnapsflaschen und eine Wand aus Meteoriten und Tyrannosaurus-Knochen an Bord.

Haben Sie das geglaubt? Dieses Boot hat nie existiert und diese Geschichte ist von Grund auf erfunden. Bilder der sogenannten “History Supreme” sind tatsächlich retuschierte Fotos der “OneHundred”, einer Yacht der italienischen Werft BaiaYacths.

Die teuerste Yacht der Welt wäre damit offiziell die Eclipse des russischen Milliardärs Roman Abramovich.

Die 10 teuersten Luxusyachten der Welt

Die Yacht von Microsoftmitbegründer Paul Allen steht zum Verkauf – für 295 Millionen Euro! Dass da aber noch Luft nach oben ist, zeigt dir ZASTER.

Bei uns scheitert es ja schon am Bootsführerschein. Vielleicht ist das bei dir anders, wobei du eigentlich gar keinen bräuchtest, um mit diesen Yachten über die Weltmeere zu schiffen. Denn  jedes dieser unglaublichen Luxusobjekte braucht natürlich eine Crew. Einerseits um für das leibliche Wohl der Gäste zu sorgen, andererseits um diese Monsterschiffe sicher und fachmännisch zu bewegen . Wieso auch selbst das Ruder an dich reißen, wenn du genauso gut auf dem Sonnendeck oder im Pool chilllen kannst?  Du kannst auch das bootseigene Theater besuchen oder dich mit Jetskis, die du in der yachteigenen Garage versteckst, vergnügen . Und wenn’s dir ganz langweilig wird, nimmst du einfach den Helikopter und fliegst zurück zum Festland. Da wartet dann bestimmt der Butler und übergibt dir die Schlüssel zum knallroten Sportwagen. Auf nach St. Tropez!

10 Pelorus – 300 Millionen US-Dollar

Ursprünglich hatte ein saudischer Milliardär und Geschäftsmann die 115 Meter lange Yacht bei der traditionsreichen Schiffswerft Lürrsen aus Bremen in Auftrag gegeben. Mit zwei Landeplattformen für je einen Helikopter sowie mehreren Jetskis unter und Whirlpools auf dem Deck, spielt diese Yacht bereits in der Top-Liga mit. Mittlerweile gehört dieses hübsche Schiff übrigens dem russischen Oligarchen Roman Abramowitsch, einem der reichsten Männer der Welt. Aber es ist nur eines seiner Schiffe und mit einer festen Crew von 46 Leuten zählt es noch zu den „kleineren” Schiffchen.

9 Al Said – 300 Millionen US-Dollar

Benannt nach ihrem Besitzer, Qaboos Bin Said Al Said, dem Sultan des Oman, wird langsam klar, mit welchen Persönlichkeiten wir es bei diesen Yachtbesitzern zu tun haben. Viel wissen wir nicht über dieses Ungetüm. Allerdings wurde auch die Al Said in Bremen bei Lürrsen gebaut und sie bietet Platz für bis zu 70 Gäste. Damit die anständig versorgt sind, finden auch noch 154 Crewmitglieder Platz. Ob sie allerdings ebenfalls den Klängen von großen Orchestern (bis zu 50 Personen) im schiffseigenen Theater lauschen dürfen, bleibt fraglich.

8 Octopus – 325 Millionen US-Dollar

Hier ist sie, die ehemalige Yacht von Microsoft Mitbegründer Paul Allen. Das 126 Meter lange Schiff aus dem Jahr 2003 sieht nicht nur hübsch aus, sondern strotzt nur so vor Funktionen und Luxus. Denn anders als die anderen Yachten, ist sie auch als waschechtes Forschungsschiff einsetzbar – U-Boot, Tauchcenter mit Überdruckkabine, Ton-Studio und Beobachtungs-Launch mit Glasboden inklusive. Für das leibliche Wohl der 26 Gäste ist mit Whirlpool, Pool und Pizzaofen ebenfalls gesorgt. Übrigens: Nach einer Schönheitskur in der Hamburger Werft von Blohm + Voss, steht die Octopus derzeit zum Verkauf – für rund 295 Millionen Euro.

7 Radiant – 330 Millionen US-Dollar

Alles, was der Mensch … äh … Milliardär braucht: 110-Meter-Yacht, Helikopter, Beiboote! Die Radiant hat alles und bietet sogar Platz für 20 Freunde. Gebaut wurde sie von Lürssen im Auftrag des russischen Oligarchen Boris Berezovsky. Doch wer so viel Geld hat, kann es selten genießen. Boris emigrierte beispielsweise aufgrund seiner Meinungsverschiedenheiten mit Putin und dem Kreml nach Großbritannien. Hier starb er 2003 in einem Park, wobei die genauen Umstände seines Ablebens bis heute unbekannt sind. Zeitlebens schien er jedoch stets Angst um sein Leben zu haben, damit erklärt sich wohl auch, dass die schöne Yacht mit einem Wasserwerfer zur Abwehr von Piraten ausgestattet war und die Unmenge von über 360.000 Litern Schiffsdiesel mit sich führen konnte?

6 Superyacht A – 323 Millionen US-Dollar

Ungewöhnlicher geht es kaum, doch der russische Milliardär Andrey Melnichenko liebt es genau so. Designed und gebaut wurde diese Megayacht von Blohm + Voss aus Hamburg. Sie bietet eine unglaubliche Wohnfläche von über 2.000 Quadratmetern, wobei alleine 232 davon auf die Haupt-Suite entfallen. Und auch sonst weist das spartanisch anmutende Objekt jede Menge Luxus auf. Denn unter Deck, du würdest es kaum vermuten, versteckt sich nich nur ein Speedboot, sondern auch ein Helikopterhangar, ein Pool mit Glasboden und eine Disco, die direkt darunter liegt. Ingesamt könntest du bis zu 14 Freunde mit an Board nehmen, die Crew selbst umfasst 42 Mitglieder.

5 Serene – 330 Millionen US-Dollar

Dass sich mit Wodka Geld verdienen lässt, dürfte klar sein – aber so viel wie Yuri Shelfer, Inhaber der SPI Group, die Alkohol in 160 Länder verkauft? Der Mann hat jedenfalls richtig Asche und mit der italienischen Werft Fincantieri genau den richtigen Partner gefunden, um viel davon loszuwerden. Die Yacht bietet Platz für 24 Gäste und 52 Besatzungsmitglieder. Außerdem gibt es mehrere Pools, sowie eine Helikopterlandefläche. Weil Yuri als viel beschäftigter Unternehmer nicht immer Zeit hat, damit unterwegs zu sein, wird Serene übrigens auch manchmal vermietet. Wobei du dafür rund fünf Millionen US-Dollar pro Woche hinblättern musst, wie Bill Gates es einmal tat.

4 Topaz – 527 Millionen US-Dollar

Jetzt geht’s in die Länge. Mit 146 Metern zählt die Topaz, abermals eine Yacht aus dem Hause Lürssen in Bremen, zu den längsten Schiffen in Privatbesitz. Sie hat zwei Helikopterlandeplätze, ist voll klimatisiert, hat acht Decks, wobei eines davon lediglich als Pool genutzt wird. Außerdem gibt es ein Fitnesscenter, einen Kinosaal und einen großen Konferenzraum, falls es mal ums Business geht. Besitzer ist übrigens Scheich Mansour, Minister für Präsidentenangelegenheiten der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate, denen sein Bruder als Präsident vorsitzt. Selbstredend kommst du nur in diese Position, wenn du Mitglied der Königsfamilie von Abu Dhabi bist – irgendwie klar, dass da Geld schlummert, oder?

3 Azzam – 605 Millionen US-Dollar

Brüder streiten manchmal, aber statt es mit Waffen oder Fäusten auszutragen, gibt es weitaus friedlichere Mittel. Scheich Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nayan, Präsident der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate hat sich, um sich von seinem Bruder (Topaz Yacht) abzusetzen, einfach eine noch größere Yacht bauen lassen. Mit einer Gesamtlänge von 180 Metern, stellt sie selbst Abramowitsch’s Eclipse in den Schatten. Wenn man den Herrschaften von Lürssen glauben darf, war Azzam einer der anspruchsvollsten und komplexesten Yachten, die sie jemals gebaut haben. Zudem gilt sie mit einer Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 56 Km/h zu den schnellsten Yachten dieser Größenordnung. Was sie sonst noch so zu bieten hat? Ein Blick auf die Fotos und du willst deinen nächsten Urlaub auf ihr verbringen…

2 Eclipse – 1,5 Milliarden US-Dollar

Man mag es ja kaum glauben, aber es gibt sie noch, die preisliche Steigerung! Denn auch wenn die Eclipse von Roman Abramowitsch mit 163 Metern etwas kürzer ist als die Azzam, so punktet sie doch mit jeder Menge Luxus – und Sicherheit. Auf 24 Gästekabinen kommen 70 Crewmitglieder, die sich selbstredend auch um die zwei Pools, diverse Whirlpools, Speedboote, Jetskis und das U-Boot kümmern, mit dem bis zu 50 Meter tief getaucht werden kann. Weil Abramowitsch aber so viel Geld und gerade deswegen nicht nur Freunde hat, wurde seine Yacht mit einem Raketenabwehrsystem, einer Laserkanone, um Paparazzis das Handwerk zu legen und schusssicheren Fenstern rund um seine Privatsuit versehen. Die Eclipse ist also mehr Festung als Yacht, wenngleich recht gutaussehend.

The 5 Most Expensive Superyachts in the World

By Brett Berk

Though superyachts are already among the most costly consumer items available for purchase, the prices of the most expensive superyachts in the world are still astounding. In recent decades, those with money to burn have settled on these floating palaces as an ideal locus for demonstrating their prosperity, and as such, the global superyacht industry is undergoing a golden age. The world’s über-wealthy think of their superyachts as toys, and they’re constantly trying to outdo each other in scale, design, amenities, materials, and sheer profligacy.

Knowing this, what features does it take to own one of the most expensive superyachts in existence? And how much do these opulent vessels actually cost? To that end, AD has compiled a list of the five priciest superyachts currently out on the water. As with many things connected to the very wealthy, details are shrouded in secrecy—often intentionally—to protect privacy or to shield the assets from taxation or seizure. Below, dive into the five reportedly most expensive superyachts in the world.

5. Dubai ($400 million)

This 531-foot yacht is reportedly owned by United Arab Emirates Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai. Though it was originally planned for another Middle Eastern potentate, Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei, he suddenly voided the contract in 2001. With exteriors designed by Andrew Winch and interiors by Platinum Yachts, this German-built Blohm + Voss vessel features several Jacuzzis, a pool inlaid with handmade mosaic tiles that is reportedly large enough to hold 115 people, a circular staircase, a discotheque, squash courts, a movie theater, a dining room for 90 guests (the other 25 presumably have to eat in the pool?), a helipad, and a submarine.

4. Topaz ($527 million)

Resembling a stealth bomber, this 483-foot ship is reportedly owned by Russian fertilizer and coal oligarch, Andrey Melnichenko. With exteriors by Tim Heywood Design Ltd. and interior designs by Terence Disdale Design, this German-built Lürssen Yacht features a 2,500-square-foot primary bedroom, six guest suites (with moveable walls so they can be transformed into four grand staterooms), glassware and tableware fashioned from French crystal, a helicopter hangar, a 30-foot speedboat tender, and three swimming pools, including one with a glass-bottom dangling menacingly above a disco.

3. Azzam ($600 million)

This 590-foot ship is currently thought to be the largest private yacht in the world and one of the fastest, with a top speed of 35 miles per hour. To achieve this immense scale and speed, it required a pair of gas turbines and two stratospherically potent diesel engines, rendering it very difficult to build. It is reportedly owned by a member of the royal family of the UAE, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. With exteriors by Nauta Yacht and interiors by French decorator Cristophe Leoni, this yacht was also built by Lürssen in Germany. The vessel is set apart by its early 19th-century empire-style veneered furniture, as well as its state-of-the-art security systems including a fully bulletproof primary suite and a high-tech missile deterrence capabilities.

2. Eclipse ($1.5 billion)

In addition to being the second-costliest, this 533-footer is thought to be the world’s second-largest private yacht. Owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the ship was claimed to be located in Turkey and may be impounded as part of the United Kingdom’s sanctions against Russia. Designed by Terry Disdale and built by Blohm + Voss, it features two-dozen guest cabins, two swimming pools, two helipads, and multiple hot tubs. For privacy and security reasons, it hosts a missile detection system, bulletproof windows in the primary bedroom and on the bridge, an anti-paparazzi shield and, when all of that fails, a mini-submarine that can take a few VIPs 164 feet under the ocean’s surface.

1. History Supreme ($4.8 billion)

History Supreme has never actually been seen in a major port, and rumors suggest that the yacht may not be real, and instead just a publicity stunt. Reportedly owned by Malaysia’s richest man, Robert Kuok, and designed by Stuart Hughes in the UK, the yacht is only a paltry 100 feet long. Its worth is said to be derived from its lavish finishes, including a statue constructed from genuine Tyrannosaurus rex bones, a liquor bottle embedded with an 18.5-carat diamond, and a primary bedroom with one wall made from meteorite and another from a 24-carat gold Aquavista Panoramic Wall Aquarium. If you see it somewhere, let us know.

Ten of the world’s biggest superyachts

These ocean beasts are large enough to contain everything a billionaire may want, from concert halls and mediterranean gardens to golf courses and beach clubs.

E very January in Boat International magazine a list of the 101 largest superyachts in the world is published. These are mind-blowing behemoths, but it’s the prosaic detail, rather than the big-ticket opulence, that speaks loudest. On the 156m Dilbar, the fifth largest yacht in the world, there are 1,000 sofa cushions and 1,100km of cabling, about the distance from London to Avignon. It took 4,000 people six million man hours to build Azzam, the longest yacht in the world at more than 180. It’s also worth noting that an owner will typically spend 10 per cent of a yacht’s original price on running costs each year. When you apply that to a $500 million boat, it affords a glimpse of the wealth and passion behind these creations, as well as the miniature economies of boatbuilding they support. To inject the new year with a dose of waterborne glitz, here are the 10 biggest yachts in the world today.

1. Azzam, 180.6m

Rather surprisingly, the colossal steel hull of the longest yacht in the world was built for pace — its owner wanted to zip to his private island near Abu Dhabi quick (and very smart). At 31.5 knots, Azzam delivers a top speed similar to a Royal Navy destroyer. That’s thanks to the German yard Lürssen’s powerful combo of gas turbine and diesel engines driving water jets, together churning out 97,000hp. The exterior designer Mario Pedol, of the Milan studio Nauta Design, instilled the appearance of speed in the exterior of this 2013 launch too, with elegant proportions and pared-back lines. The interior decor by the French designer Christophe Leoni remains a closely guarded secret even a decade after delivery but is known to feature a lavish 19th-century Empire style, with a quantity of marquetry rumoured to have cleaned out global supply of mother-of-pearl for a year. The 36 guests (attended by up to 80 crew) can puff it out in the gym, pool or golf-training facility, or socialise in the 29m x 18 main saloon, where open-plan, pillarless architecture and full-height windows necessitated 7cm-thick glass.

2. Eclipse, 162.5m

The jewel of Roman Abramovich’s superyacht fleet has made star turns from St Barth’s to New York, but the political climate has turned many jet-set hotspots into hot water for prominent Russian owners. On its 13th birthday in December Eclipse was sitting in the cooler port of Marmaris, Turkey. This nine-decker is a thoroughbred, built at the German yard Blohm+Voss, now part of Lürssen — a name that pops up repeatedly in the Top 10 list, along with Eclipse’s designer, Terence Disdale, whose laid-back interior adheres to his signature “beach house not penthouse” style. Show-off size was never the goal, it just had to be big to accommodate the owner’s wish list of facilities, including space for three helicopters and a huge pool. The latter has a retractable glass roof and a blue granite bottom that rises to become a dancefloor. The beach club (a social space at water level) is served by its own pantry, pizza oven and barbecue. The lower-deck wellness area, meanwhile, comprises a 77 m gym, beauty salon, massage room, sauna and plunge pool, while portholes give an underwater view of the main pool.

3. Dubai, 162m

Originally commissioned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei’s brother, this yacht was sold to the Dubai government partway through its build and moved from Germany to Turkey for completion in 2006. The vivid interior includes a pool clad in tiles that are imbedded with fibre-optic lights. There’s a cinema, a disco and a water-toy arsenal including a submarine.

4. Blue, 160.6m

Terence Disdale aimed to imbue the lines of this 2022 yacht with feminine elegance. Inside, Blue is divided into VIP, entertainment and wellness decks — and, crowning it all, an owner’s deck where the vast master suite is flanked by balconies. Lürssen focused on green tech for the project, incorporating a bespoke diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system and exhaust treatment system and using a cutting-edge membrane to ensure wastewater is disposed of in “drinking-water quality”

5. dilbar, 156m.

Many reasonably say that judging a yacht’s size by its length is a little unfair — if you go by gross tonnage (interior volume), Dilbar tops the charts at a staggering 15,917 tonnes for just 24 guests. Packed into that 3,800 sq m space is the largest pool installed on a yacht, at 25m two helipads and a garden planted with Mediterranean greenery that will thrive in the yacht’s regular Côte d’Azur haunts. Lürssen delivered Dilbar to a company held in a trust settled by Uzbek-Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov.

6. Al Said, 155m

This 2008 Lürssen giant was designed with a nod to classic cruise liners by the ultra-cool Norwegian superyacht designer Espen Oino for the former Sultan of Oman, Qaboos bin Said al Said. It is believed to accommodate 200 crew and 70 guests, who can choose between entertainment in the concert hall or cinema.

7. A+, 147.2m

With graceful lines by Tim Heywood and interiors by his fellow Brit Terence Disdale, this mammoth 2012 Lürssen yacht is owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, owner of Manchester City FC. With two pools and a treasure trove of water toys, it’s a hit on the celebrity circuit — Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly chartered it twice.

8. Prince Abdulaziz, 147m

The Danish shipyard Helsingor Vaerft (better known for building Saddam Hussein’s 82m Basrah Breeze) delivered this yacht to Fahd, then the Saudi king, in 1984. Its interior was designed by David Hicks, the great English decorator known for bold pattern and fantastical colour combinations. Features include a mosque, hospital and cinema, as well as a lobby modelled after the one on the Titanic.

9. Opera, 146.3m

The newest entry to the Top 10, the Lürssen-built Opera was designed by Disdale and launched in March last year for a member of Emirati royalty. The interior is top secret, but we know it has two helipads, a 10m pool, a vast spa and a cinema.

10. OK, 146m

When the owner of the vessel now known as OK saw the 1982 Japanese-built transport ship Super Servant 3, he decided it was ripe for conversion into a world-roaming explorer yacht. It’s easy to see what inspired him: the whole aft part of the vessel — 100m — can be submerged, leaving just the forward 46m of superstructure above water. This feature, in conjunction with a 40-tonne crane, means the owner’s 46m ketch and a host of water toys can be easily stored and then floated in situ following the boat’s 2022 relaunch at the Turkish yard Karmarine. Revamped accommodation by the young designer Timur Bozca includes cabins for 20 guests, a sundeck spa pool and a botanical garden.

Jeff Bezos' yacht reportedly cost $500 million and is the largest sailing yacht in the world. Here's what we know.

• Jeff Bezos ' new $500 million megayacht Koru set sail this summer.
• At 417 feet long, it's the world's largest sailing yacht and even boasts a sculpture resembling his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez.
• Here's everything we know about Bezos' yacht.

Jeff Bezos' new megayacht set sail this summer, with the founder and former Amazon CEO and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez crisscrossing Europe to show it off.

At 417 feet long, the vessel is the world's largest sailing yacht and cost an estimated $500 million. The yacht is named Koru , which means "loop" or "coil" in the Māori language and often signifies new beginnings.

Koru joins a large class of flashy billionaires' yachts , including the 305-foot-long Eos, which belongs to billionaire Barry Diller and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg.

Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison owns a yacht called Musashi, which is 288 feet long.

Bezos commissioned the enormous boat from the Dutch custom yacht builder Oceanco, and it took years to construct.

In February, the yacht underwent its first sea trials, a series of tests usually conducted in the last phases of construction. Koru made its maiden voyage in April, traveling from the Netherlands to Gibraltar.

The vessel has a pool on deck, and the prow features a mermaid sculpture that bears a striking resemblance to Bezos' then-girlfriend Sanchez. A second "support yacht," which has an on-deck helipad, accompanies Koru on its travels.

Sanchez has said the sculpture affixed to Bezos' yacht isn't her. "I'm very flattered, but it's not," she told Vogue. The sculpture is apparently of the Norse goddess Freyja, one of Bezos' favorite figures from mythology.

Bezos and Sanchez were first seen aboard the yacht along the coast of Spain in May, shortly before news broke that the couple had gotten engaged. The couple spent the rest of the summer on board traveling to various destinations, stopping at the Cannes Film Festival, sailing down the Italian Riviera, and making their way to Croatia.

In August, the yacht played host to an engagement party for Bezos and Sanchez , which reportedly drew guests including Bill Gates, Whitney Wolfe Herd, Ari Emanuel, and Leonardo DiCaprio.

While yacht season was apparently enjoyable for the couple, it was only after the vessel stirred up quite a bit of controversy: Koru's masts were so tall that the yacht nearly required the dismantling of a historic bridge in the Netherlands in order for it to pass through.

Locals planned to egg Bezos' superyacht if the bridge came down. Following the public outcry, Oceanco withdrew its request for the city to take apart the bridge.

And despite this massive purchase, Bezos' net worth is still well over $100 billion.
