Laurel

Length: 73m
Builder: Delta Marine
Year: 2006

Yacht for sale USP: The striking 73.2-metre motor yacht Laurel  was delivered as the flagship of her US yard, boasting a Donald Starkey exterior with a bright blue hull that makes her instantly recognisable on the water. A highlight on board is her generous exterior spaces designed for sunbathing and al fresco dining, along with a large inflatable slide accessible from the bridge deck. 

Laurel is asking $59,000,000 with IYC.

Bad Company

Length: 44m  
Builder: Trinity Yachts
Year: 1998

Yacht for sale USP: Delivered in 1998, Bad Company was conceived as a true bluewater yacht with a history of successful canal transits, world-class sportfishing expeditions and, in recent years, cruises around the Caribbean and the Bahamas. For keen fishermen, a notable feature on board is the tournament-ready sportfishing cockpit, offering guests the chance to catch offshore fish.

Bad Company is asking $7,900,000 with Superyacht Sales and Charter.

Knickerbocker

Length: 36m   
Builder: Palmer Johnson
Year: 1992

Yacht for sale USP: The 35.8-metre cruising ketch Knickerbocker underwent a recent refit in 2025, with classic John Munford interiors that nod to her traditional origins. Finished in American cherry with teak-and-holly soles, the main saloon offers a warm, traditional atmosphere, whether guests are gathering around the oval coffee table for a relaxed moment or seated at the high-gloss black walnut table, inlaid with cherry, ebony, and brass for a more formal affair. 

Knickerbocker is asking $2,750,000 with Edmiston.

Endless Summer 

Length: 40m  
Builder: Westport
Year: 2001
