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.

Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy are some of the names that have walked on Christina O's decks or sat at her bar – the latter built from the wood of a sunken Spanish galleon ship. She was originally delivered as a WWII anti-submarine vessel and was later converted into a private yacht by Aristotle Onassis, the second husband of Jackie Kennedy. Two of her most talked-about features are a mosaic-tiled, saltwater swimming pool that converts to a dance floor and the whale foreskin-upholstered bar stools which surround Christina O's rope-covered bar, colloquially termed Ari's Bar.

She is host to several dining and lounge areas, including a 14-person dining room with opening floor‑to‑ceiling windows, and a welcoming upper deck lounge, connected via a full‑height atrium and floating marble staircase. Outside, "zones" are penned for entertainment and wellness, including a lower deck beach club connected to a full interior spa with a sauna, massage and beauty room, and a sundeck wet bar and Jacuzzi nearby to a dedicated gym.

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". Maximus marks the second collaboration between the yard and renowned yacht designer Germán Frers, who, as a result, delivered long-range "globetrotting" capability, racing prowess and unbridled comfort for up to 10 guests in four cabins. With a striking red hull and matching outdoor furnishings, the 59-metre boasts skylight-filled living spaces, a split-level main saloon with a grand piano, and multiple dining areas.

Entourage shot to fame after her 2023 delivery, recognised as a "fantastic evolution of the Amels 60". Penned by Espen Øino with naval architecture by Damen Yachting, construction initially began on the second unit of the model under speculation, before she was quickly bought by an owner seeking a high-level of customisation. Works included the adaptation of the Amels 60 signature windows, a reworked central staircase, the addition of full-height windows in the main saloon and an extended sundeck. All of this combined with a "very elegant and different" interior design from Canadian studio Burdifilek (the first yacht project from the studio) won Entourage both a BOAT International Design & Innovation Award and a World Superyacht Award for her size category in 2024.

Delivered in 2005, Moonlight II is passenger-ship certified and can host up to 36 guests across 18 staterooms.

Her 14-metre beam results in a spacious owner's apartment (with private access to a Jacuzzi) and plenty of spaces for entertaining, such as the skylounge with games room and bar. A vast beach club, cinema, grand piano and elevator to all decks are other standout features. Irish Boxer Conor McGregor was spotted holidaying on the superyacht in 2021.
