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. 

Builder: ISA
Length: 65.5m
Designers: Enrico Gobbi - Team For Design

An ambitious project several years in the making, Resilience is the largest yacht launched by ISA since its acquisition by Palumbo Superyachts in 2016. The Italian shipyard "had to take the owner’s ideas, many of which had come from 100-metre-plus yachts, and incorporate them into the design of a 65 metre", including a beach club that creates an inside-outside space of more than 180 square metres when the transom door is opened. Accommodation is for 12 guests and 17 crew, including a full-beam owner's suite with a custom crystal and chrome chandelier by Enrico Gobbi and drop-down terraces on either side.

Delivered in 2019, Artisan won a World Superyacht Award in 2020 for Best Exterior Design. The superyacht blends powerful performance with vast 1,245GT of internal living space, which feels surprisingly spacious considering her sleek profile. Accommodation is for a party of up to 12 guests in seven cabins, including a generous 160-square-metre master suite that overlooks a private bow terrace with intimate seating and sunpads. Perched just above the bridge deck, the forward fly deck is home to an enclosed gym and yoga studio, as well as a forward "love nest" to unwind in – a lofty area with a round outdoor sofa.

Designer: Officina Italiana Design, Margherita Casprini, Francesco Paszkowski Design

Lemon Tree is one of the newer builds on this list, delivered in 2021 as the first Sanlorenzo 62Steel. What sets this superyacht apart is her owner's cabin, fitted with a private deck and pool and an adjoining sky lounge, which can be converted into a family cinema. Another highlight is the large Hammam and beach club, which has openings on three sides and a glass ceiling which lets natural light flood in through the pool. Accommodation is for a party of 14 guests in seven cabins – one of which can be converted into a massage room.

Builder: Piriou
Length: 77.6m
Designers: Pierre-Jacques Kubis

Yersin was conceived by an adventure-loving owner and delivered in 2015 as an eco-conscious, world-girdling expedition yacht. She's ice-classed, Polar-code compliant and equipped with a barge, seaplane and enough provisions to keep 18 people fed for 50 days. Her 2,198GT interiors were often used to house researchers, scientists and students, to the end of educating and progressing global conservation efforts. The superyacht is also built to be 95 per cent recyclable and is Clean Ship certified, resulting in very low environmental impact with minimal fuel consumption. Named after bacteriologist Doctor Alexandre Yersin, the ceremony was attended by HSH Prince Albert II and blessed by the Vicar General of Monaco.

Delivered in 2020, Atomic was commissioned by an avid scuba diver and accommodates a professional dive centre accessed via a folding balcony on her hull. Another standout feature is a coral-coloured mosaic pool on her sundeck, while her exterior spaces are characterised by splashes of "Monaco Red" – her owner’s favourite colour. A full bar, cosy gas firepit, al fresco dining table and ample sunbathing spots round out the superyacht's list of amenities. Accommodation is across six cabins, including a split-level master suite with a gym and an office. Intended for exploration, the yacht’s pilothouse features SOLAS-approved window shades and an integrated bridge system by Kongsberg.

Length: 70.5m
Designer: H2 Yacht Design, Hydro Tec

Delivered in 2011 as the Turkish shipyard's flagship, Talisman C is the second in the fleet to bear the name. The original owner was looking to upgrade from a 54.2-metre to a larger vessel that could carry more tenders and toys. The result? A full-width aft garage that can accommodate a 7.7-metre Ski Nautique Super Air for powered sports, a seven-metre Novurania Chase 23 tender and a Narwhal rescue tender. A split-level master suite sits forward on the main deck and is described by the broker as having a "boudoir décor", with voile curtains around the king-sized bed and crystal chandeliers as bedside reading lights. Other highlights include a crow's nest observation lounge and a gym and wellness area with dedicated massage table and beauty salon.

Builder: Benetti
Length: 64.5m
Designers: RWD, Susan Young

Delivered in 2011, Seanna's design combines classic Benetti brand motifs, such as covered companionways and sculpted mullions. Her standout features include an elevated observation deck which, positioned above the sundeck, hosts an enclosed party room. Below, the lower deck has a gym and large beach club, while inside is the main-saloon which can be converted into a cinema room. A grand marble lobby is found at the heart of the vessel and her interior is finished in fine Italian leathers, rich walnut woodwork and nickel inlays. Other highlights include a library with electric fireplace and a massage room.

Designers: Philippe Starck, Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects, Thierry Gaugain

Philippe Starck's first superyacht Wedge Too was an instant classic. The yacht returned to traditional yachtbuilding with the extensive use of wood on her superstructure, while her elevator, three saloons and sundeck with oval-shaped pool and sunpads remained firmly on trend. Accommodation is across nine cabins, including an owner's deck with a private veranda and master suite with a forward-facing semi-circle of windows. The yacht was chosen as BOAT's brokerage boat of the month, where Starck explained that his aim for Wedge Too was to create "a yacht that [was] of extraordinary quality" while avoiding anything "structurally vulgar or offensive".
