Kenshō made an immediate impact on the superyacht world at her delivery in 2022. The following year, she claimed both Motor Yacht of the Year and Best Interior Design (1,500GT+) at the World Superyacht Awards, not least for her striking metallic blue-green profile inspired by a Ford Mustang colour from the 1960s, which makes her instantly recognisable. Kenshō (deriving from a Japanese word meaning “seeing one’s true nature") is host to serene and contemporary interiors, with an unusual onboard layout that sees the communal living areas on the upper deck. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests across eight cabins.

Designer: Stefano Vafiadis, Nafpigiki Hellas, Massari Design

Malia was built in Greece by Golden Yachts and delivered in 2023 to a design by long-standing collaborator of the yard, Stefano Vafiadis. A contemporary plumb bow, elongated foredeck and trapezium-shaped windows characterise the 77.7-metre, while inside her interior is clad in rich, high-gloss woods, polished marbles and neutral, calming tones. Key features include a large swimming pool that sits transversely on the main deck aft, with three skylights at the bottom filtering natural light into the beach house below. Here, guests are greeted by a "health bar" near the entrance and ushered into a lounge area with numerous seating, dining and sunbathing options. The deck also features a wellness centre, complete with a hammam, sauna and massage room.

Attessa IV was originally built in Japan in 1999 as the 91-metre yacht Evergreen. In 2007, her four-year rebuild began under the stewardship of Merle Wood & Associates and Washington Yachting Group (WYG) in Vancouver, Canada. The superyacht was gutted from the main deck up and emerged with a host of upgraded features including a new bow, stern, foredeck tender garage, spa, superstructure shape and an all-new helipad. She even got a completely new interior layout, including the crew areas. This overhaul won Attessa IV the "Best Rebuilt Yacht" Neptune at the World Superyacht Awards in 2011. Other highlights include a large private cinema, library, elevator and bulletproof windows.

Designers: H2 Yacht Design, Diana Yacht Design

Scout was delivered by the Dutch shipyard in 2019, constructed in steel and aluminium to a design by British studio H2 Yacht Design. Typical of an explorer, she features Ice Class certification, a 6,300-nautical-mile range and commercial-grade engineering within her distinctively brawny exterior, though her buttercup-yellow awnings hint at the world of design that lies within. The custom details on board range from a squid sculpture hanging from the observation lounge to a potting shed aft on the bridge deck and a blue skylight with shark detailing in the main saloon. Named after her original owner's dog, the yacht is also host to dog-friendly features, including enclosed bulwarks, carpeted stair treads and a master suite fitted with a private terrace "puppy park".

The first Amels Limited Edition 242, Plvs Vltra, has "all the comfort and luxury you would expect" in a 1,790GT package, according to her broker. This includes a beach club spa with Hammam, an open-air cinema on the bridge deck and a large, counter-current swimming pool. Her sweeping exterior is by British studio Tim Heywood, while her interiors – inspired by the grand hotels on the French Riviera – are courtesy of Winch Design. Interior details include pillars hand-laid with moon gold leaf, customised Italian upholstery in ivory velvet and crystal-based lamps with silver leaf and silk shades.

Rocinante was first delivered in 2008, though she hit the water for a second time in 2024 following an extensive 10-month refit from her original German builders. The comprehensive works included a new bridge, a full repaint and significant upgrades across all major technical, mechanical and guest areas. Her interiors remained mostly untouched to preserve Pinto's original sophisticated, contemporary decor - though have been meticulously maintained throughout her 20-plus year lifespan. Indoor-outdoor living was key to Rocinante's design, a highlight being the large circular dining table surrounded by windows on the upper deck. However, the sundeck with its large jetstream pool and Jacuzzi, and the lower deck hammam, massage room and beauty salon are also features not worth missing.

The word"'icon" is too frequently thrown around the yachting industry. However, exceptions can be made when it comes to Alfa Nero. She is instantly recognisable on the water, not least for her distinctive black and white Nuvolari Lenard profile but also for her first-of-a-kind infinity pool which proudly demands attention on the aft deck. Features like these are what made her stand out at her delivery in 2007 and still today, 18 years on, with her broker highlighting that "many of her original innovations are now standard features on today’s large yachts". Her dramatic profile is matched with an Alberto Pinto interior design, curated with pop-art and Art Deco influences comprising vibrant colour schemes, bold striped flooring and contemporary art by Lichtenstein and Murakami.

Rejoining the market in October 2024, O'Ptasia has been listed for sale by her original owners who have cruised aboard this superyacht for seven years. Highlights include a generous sundeck pool, a touch-and-go helipad, a fully-equipped gym with outstanding views, and the choice of a cinema room or outdoor cinema projector screen. Accommodation is for up to 22 guests in 10 cabins – including a VIP suite which is "equivalent" to the master – which, among other things, makes her a popular yacht for charter. In fact, O'Ptasia was selected at BOAT International's charter yacht of the week in February 2024.

Maximus takes the podium at Dutch shipyard Vitters as its third-largest sailing yacht. Delivered in 2023, she was commissioned by an experienced owner seeking a cruising ketch with "performance, comfort, and precision".

According to her broker, she has been "built without compromise in any area".
