Delivered in 2025 by Feadship, Breakthrough is the world's first hydrogen superyacht and is now available for charter. The yacht marks a huge milestone in engineering and innovation while retaining all the luxuries expected of a vessel of her stature. Showcasing a handsome navy hull and crisp white superstructure, her profile is by British studio RWD and offers exceptional volume across five decks above the waterline and two below. Standout amenities include a hair salon, an approved RYA water sports centre and a semi-submerged viewing area. Breakthrough also has 14 fold-out balconies, a glass-floored infinity pool and an entire private owner’s apartment spanning multiple decks.

Kismet was commissioned by repeat client and sports tycoon Shahid Khan, who previously owned the 95.2-metre Lürssen yacht Whisper (formerly Kismet). She was one of 2024's standout deliveries, departing Lürssen's facilities in May that year. What justifies her impressive cost? Her intricate interiors by Reymond Langton Design feature fireplaces, painted ceiling frescoes, floor-to-ceiling glass and marble detailing throughout with a “champagne and caviar” theme. The champagne bar and wine cellar room are highlights, alongside a cocktail bar and lounging area found in the retro ‘Tron corridor.’ Even the yoga studio has its own bar, albeit a juice version. Kismet is kitted out with every conceivable amenity, a Balinese-inspired spa with a cryotherapy chamber.

Kismet is available for charter with Cecil Wright & Partners.

Following her launch in early 2023, the 112-metre motor yacht Renaissance is one of the most expensive yachts for charter. Built by the Spanish shipyard Freire, she is the largest yacht built in Spain and one of the largest projects by British studio Bannenberg & Rowell. While her sheer size contributes to her hefty price tag, it's her masterful interiors – which include a double-height dining saloon and a private owner's deck – that truly justify the cost. Across her six decks, Renaissance has an expansive beach club stocked with the latest water toys, plus a bar and waterside dining area. There is an entire spa deck, which includes a fitness centre, hot and cold plunge pools, a steam room and sauna, treatment rooms and hair and beauty salons.

Renaissance is managed for charter with Burgess.

Octopus is one of the largest superyachts in the world, so naturally, she has plenty of space on board for amenities. With an ice-class hull and cruising range of 12,500 nautical miles, the iconic explorer yacht is more than capable of reaching the earth’s most remote corners. She’s also well equipped for action, with two helipads and a hangar, storage for up to seven tenders, an ROV, Triton submarines and a fully-equipped dive centre. Across her eight decks, Octopus also boasts a glass-bottomed underwater observation lounge, a cinema, a heated freshwater swimming pool and multiple Jacuzzis, bars and al fresco entertaining areas.

Octopus is managed for charter by Big Blue Expeditions.

Mar is not only one of the largest yachts ever delivered by Benetti (with the exception of 108-metre I.J.E.), but also one of the most striking. Large rectangular windows, a plumb bow and well-balanced proportions, combined with expansive elongated decks, make up her profile. With a gross tonnage of 3,900GT, there is ample space for families and friends, as well as corporate and celebratory charters. This charter yacht exudes a calm, contemporary feel, underpinned by texture and detail. In the main saloon, a soft palette of creams, taupes and warm wood tones creates an inviting and elegant atmosphere in a way that is refined yet approachable.

Mar is available for charter with BehneMar.

One of the largest Feadships ever built, Sophia (originally delivered as Faith) remains a standout in the world of luxury charters. Her striking flared bow and sculpted exterior still turn heads more than eight years later, maintaining a timeless appeal. Designed by renowned British studio RWD, Sophia boasts perfectly balanced proportions, a flowing sheerline, and distinctive curved forward windows that add to her elegant yet powerful presence on the water. Features on board include a "snow room", basketball court and wood-burning pizza oven on the sundeck. 

Sophia is available for charter with Edmiston.

With a striking profile designed by Michael Leach, this 93-metre Feadship has long since dazzled the industry. A winner of the World Superyacht Awards 2020, Lady S boasts a vast amount of space on board and a list of amenities to keep everyone entertained at all times. Standout features on board include a two-deck IMAX theatre, a fully certified helipad and a generous swimming pool. She is also equipped with a number of sports facilities for golf, basketball, volleyball and football. Meanwhile, her Reymond Langton interior has been likened to a "beautiful and contemporary jewellery box". Lady S returned to the yard earlier this year for a series of upgrades.

Spanning six decks sized up as a whopping 3,643GT, it’s not surprising that Carinthia VII's onboard spaces are enormous - with a 124 square-metre sundeck, a 90 square-metre state-of-the-art gym and a huge spa. She also has a long list of cool credentials, including bullet-proof glass, a beauty salon and a touch-and-go helipad. All guest areas were revamped during a recent 2023 refit, yet great care was taken to preserve her classic charm. Her recent upgrades included the installation of an 11-metre pool on the aft deck, the aforementioned gym on the bridge deck and beauty salon, a new teppanyaki grill, a new swim platform, and much more.

Primary charter guests can kick back in the colourful bridge deck master suite with a private aft terrace, while a foredeck helipad allows the charter party to arrive in style.

At 91 metres and nearly 3,000GT, the scale of Lady Lara is remarkable. Delivered in 2015, with exterior and interior design by Reymond Langton, her sweeping curves disguise a wealth of surprises within, such as a swimming pool that transforms into a nightclub. Her interiors are a sea of white and ivory, from the wood and onyx to the leather furnishings and sumptuous carpets. Other highlights include Damien Hirst artworks commissioned especially for the yacht, plus an entire deck dedicated to the owner, complete with private spa tub and winter garden dining area.
