The 50 most expensive yachts for sale now

With a €330,000,000 price tag, the 115.1-metre Lürssen Ahpo is the most expensive superyacht currently listed for sale. Ahpo's striking design, both exterior and interior, is the work of Nuvolari Lenard and features trademark half-moon windows, as seen on the owner's previous Lürssen build, along with tapered decks. Accommodation is for 16 guests in eight staterooms with a further four staff cabins for pilots, a nanny, or bodyguards. The owner's private duplex includes a gym, while side decks on the sky lounge deck are exceptionally wide and 100 metres all around, allowing guests to enjoy romantic strolls side by side. 

Ahpo is asking €330,000,000 with Moran Yacht & Ship.

When Lürssen delivered Pelorus in 2003, the yacht had been christened as the 11th largest in the world and easily the largest yacht to be built by Lürssen at the time. The 114-metre was commissioned by a Saudi businessman who enjoyed a single cruise aboard his new vessel before a new buyer made an offer too good to refuse. The exterior of Pelorus was designed by Tim Heywood, who stocked the yacht with a top deck lido featuring two swimming pools, two helicopter pads and a vast sea-level platform that is revealed by opening the transom. The immense task of designing the interior was carried out by Terence Disdale, who opted to use natural materials wherever possible to maintain a ‘casual’ atmosphere to offset the yacht’s imposing frame. Pelorus can welcome 18 guests with room for an additional 46 crew members.

Delivered by Lürssen in 2010, Phoenix 2 was designed inside and out by Winch Design to capture the art deco spirit of New York. Her soaring exterior lines aim to emulate the strength of the city’s skyline, and is finished with a 5.7-metre firebird figurehead that rises up from the bow like the eagles mounted on the Chrysler building. Onboard, guests will feel as though they’ve stepped into The Great Gatsby’s home itself upon viewing the yacht’s decadent gold tones and striking black furnishings. Phoenix 2 also comes with an impressive range of amenities including both an indoor and outdoor cinema, three pools, and a main saloon with a custom Steinway grand piano.

The 90-metre Lürssen superyacht Ice, originally known as Air when it was launched in 2005, made waves for being one of the first superyachts on the water outfitted with electrically-powered Azipod propellers. She was designed by Tim Heywood and sports a minimalist interior by Terence Disdale. Tables and many of the horizontal surfaces were made of limestone, the five bathtubs being carved from solid blocks so large and heavy that the yacht was reportedly built around them. Ice is also one of the first superyachts to have her superstructure positioned further forward than usual, to allow for a large helipad aft.

Ice is asking €120,000,000 with Blackorange Yachts.
