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 Mi'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 Mi'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.

On deck, she features a fully-equipped gym, with a library that converts into a private cinema.

Although quickly recognised for her "Caribbean sea" blue hull, her bright exterior is not what won Axioma a Judges’ Special Commendation at the 2014 World Superyacht Awards. Dunya Yachts' first and flagship build, she was launched in 2013 and quickly shot to fame for her interiors, unveiling a first-of-its-kind open double-height main saloon complete with a mezzanine lounge and floor-to-ceiling windows. Alberto Pinto was the brains behind her innovative interior, which is decorated in a beach house style and home to a private owner's deck and five main deck guest cabins. Other highlights include an eight-seat surround sound cinema, a wellness centre and a glass-fronted infinity swimming pool on the aft deck.

Delivered in 2018, Casino Royale is no stranger to acclaim as a finalist in both the BOAT Design & Innovation Awards and the World Superyacht Awards. Her master cabin offers 180-degree views from its kingsize bed, a private study and a terrace with a sunbed and Jacuzzi. According to Paszkowski, one of the yacht's key design features is the beach club, which allows in natural light from a glass-bottom pool above and connects to the onboard wellness hub, complete with a Hammam and multiple fold-out terrace balconies.

A "truly bespoke" superyacht, Moon Sand marked a re-establishment of the 55- to 77-metre market for Lürssen when delivered in 2021, as the yard's smallest build since 1962. Her "distinctive lines" were influenced by the German yard's 1973 motor yacht Carinthia VI (now V2V), with unique interiors to match. Expect living spaces adorned with vibrant statement pieces including a rare pink marble bathtub, "museum-quality" furniture and an abstract chandelier resembling a school of fish. Her recently refitted sundeck – upgraded by Azure Yacht Design over the winter 2024 period – features a Jacuzzi, dining area and spacious sunpads, all protected by high glass windbreaks without disturbing views.

Another World Superyacht Award-winning motor yacht to feature on this list is Feadship's 55.2-metre motor yacht Somnium. She first hit the water in 2021, unveiling her almost all-Feadship creation, with exteriors by Studio De Voogt and naval architecture by Feadship De Voogt, while her Galápagos Island-inspired interiors are from Italian studio FM – Architettura d’interni. It was her completely custom and family-orientated design that won her a Neptune in 2022, with her standout onboard features including "calmly decorated facilities", a range of amenities for all ages and spacious, well-proportioned accommodation. An honourable mention goes to her 9,000-litre pool with a counter-current jet on the aft deck, which can be raised and hidden flush with the deck.

Where to begin with the Italian-built Diamond Binta? Delivered in 2024, the 58.5-metre "worldwide explorer" – labelled as such thanks to a range of over 5,000 nautical miles – is host to some remarkable completely custom features including an elongated commercial helipad on her foredeck, an open-air beach club with massage room and a sundeck which boasts an infinity-edge glass pool, bar and gym. However, she stands out for her walk-through engine room – whereby a glass-encased corridor stretches from the beach club to the cabins on the lower deck, passing her twin CAT engines on either side. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests across six cabins.
