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.

Sparta has now overthrown Lusine as the Dutch builder’s largest steel yacht. Characterised by a low exterior profile and a hull accented in “Venetian red” and metallic grey, the shipyard claims that little has changed since the initial sketches were presented except for modifications to the aft deck pool, which now stretches to 6.5 metres. Accommodation is for a maximum of 14 people across seven cabins, with her elemental interiors – including a master cabin modelled after "air" – recently revealed to BOAT International.

The first Amels Limited Edition 242, Plvs Ultra is a recent addition to the market that 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. According to her broker, Plvs Ultra is also on the cusp of completing a multi-million-euro refit in Dubai, though details are currently undisclosed.

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.

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.

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.

Planet Nine’s meticulous owner ensured that she was built to cruise the waters of Greenland, Antarctica and everywhere in between with ease. This is realised in the specially-designed ice-classed hull, constructed with thick hull plates, strong frames and bulkheads, and careful protection for her seawater intakes, to protect from cold temperatures and deal with sea ice up to 15 centimetres thick. Guests can enjoy 180-degree-views from the forward observation lounge, take a dip in the sundeck Jacuzzi, or relax in the spacious cinema. The dedicated owners' deck also comes complete with its own private lounge, terrace and study. The superyacht made an appearance in Christopher Nolan's mind-bending blockbuster Tenet.

"There are many features of this design that bring a smile to my face," said Stella M's exterior designer Tim Heywood. The superyacht's highlights are aplenty, including a cavernous 1,015GT interior, an eco-friendly hybrid propulsion package and an elevator whisking guests between four decks. An air-conditioned gym with massage room sits on the sundeck alongside a large Jacuzzi, double sunpad, buffet bar and a wet bar with glass handrails to protect the view. Down below, Stella M's beach club is arranged with a sit-up wet bar, sauna, steam shower and changing room. Accommodation is for up to 14 guests in six suites.

Delivered in 2005, Moonlight II is passenger-ship certified and can host up to 36 guests across 18 staterooms. During a refit period between 2014 and 2015, she was extended by 6.1 metres, resulting in additional exterior spaces. 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.

What impresses first about Moonstone is her tech capabilities. The 2021-delivered superyacht is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system and a WASSP multi-beam sonar system that produces high-resolution bathymetric scanning, mapping out a live 3D view of the ocean floor. However, her leisure amenities are equally as noteworthy, encompassing a sundeck with Jacuzzi, gym and massage room and an owner's cabin with Mongolian marble in the bathroom. Accommodation is for a party of 12.
