The 56.1-metre ketch Apsara is a modern classic from Dutch pedigree yard Royal Huisman, delivered in 2018 and combining traditional hull lines with a powerful contemporary sailing rig and a clean, understated aesthetic throughout. Her exterior is characterised by two low-profile teak-clad deckhouses and a versatile mid-deck lounge, complete with a sun canopy that can be deployed at anchor, while the main cockpit is designed for relaxed socialising, with flexible tables that can be arranged for everything from casual coffee to a dinner setting for 10. Interiors by Mark Whiteley channel a refined New England-inspired style, with brush-painted white panelling offset by rich mahogany joinery. Panoramic windows fill the main deck saloon with natural light, while a lower saloon forward is fitted with a high-resolution cinema screen, surround sound system and a fully equipped gym. Accommodation is for eight guests across four cabins, including a light-filled owner’s suite with an oval skylight.

The 55-metre motor yacht Reliance is the sixth hull in Heesen’s popular 55 Steel series and represents the most refined iteration to date. Built by the Dutch yard in 2018, she features a fast-displacement steel hull by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, an exterior by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects and interiors by Luca Dini – marking the first collaboration between Heesen and the Italian studio. Her distinctive shark-grey profile is paired with generous outdoor living across four decks, including a 110-square-metre sundeck with Jacuzzi, teppanyaki bar and sunpads. A wellness-focused beach club incorporates a gym, sauna and hammam, while the upper deck aft is arranged for al fresco dining. Accommodation is for 12 guests across six cabins, including an 82-square-metre owner’s apartment on the main deck. Reliance is commercially registered, has an established charter record and offers a range of 4,500 nautical miles at cruising speed.

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.

Builder: Sanlorenzo

Designers: Zuccon International Project, Piero Lissoni 

Virtuosity was delivered in 2023 as the second unit from the Italian yard's 57Steel series - the first, My Alma, delivered only weeks before, according to BOATPro. Designed by Zuccon International Project (with Sanlorenzo's proven in-house naval architecture) the series was created to offer double the interior volume of its predecessor, the 52Steel, while maintaining the yard's signature features. As a result, the motor yacht boasts a 1,050GT interior volume with multiple living spaces, including an upper deck panoramic sky lounge that functions as an observatory-cum-social hub - enclosed by "near-continuous" floor-to-ceiling glass. A highlight, however, is her lower deck beach club, or "wellness space", which is illuminated by the aft deck's four-metre glass-bottomed pool and equipped with multiple folding terraces which open directly to the sea. Italian designer Piero Lissoni was responsible for Virtuosity's "special edition" interior design, using natural materials and muted tones to characterise her five decks, accommodating up to 12 guests in six cabins.

Bleu de Nîmes was originally delivered in 1980, commissioned by the British Royal Navy as a degaussing ship, then known as RMAS Lodestone. After a decade of service, she was purchased by an experienced superyacht owner in 1999 and so began an exhaustive six-year refit which transformed her into a capable private explorer yacht. In 2016, her owner decided to upgrade her into a "stylish charter yacht" and embarked on another major rebuild - this one taking four years and completing in 2020. Works included a 16-metre extension to her amidships and stern, and an increase of volume by nearly 600GT, expanding her accommodation to a generous 13-cabin layout for up to 28 guests, cared for by a crew of 23. In terms of amenities, Bleu de Nîmes boasts a library room, an "immersive" cinema room, a beach club and a fully-equipped, 50-square-metre gym next to a massage room and sauna.

A new addition to the most expensive yachts for sale line-up is the radical 43.5-metre catamaran This Is It, now on the market for the first time. First unveiled to the industry at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show, This Is It quickly drew a crowd for her unique and mind-bending profile, which is characterised by a curved overall structure with 600 square metres of glass panelling and unusual, slanted decks. Aft is where the real show is, with the catamaran's wide 14.5-metre beam showcasing a glass-sided infinity pool which floats across the yacht's two hulls, sweeping asymmetric steps which lead to the grand al fresco dining space on the main deck aft and the glass balcony of the private owner's suite above. The yacht's design is said to be "unlike anything the superyacht world has seen" and as such, has been a firm favourite on the charter market, attracting celebrity charter guests including Rihanna and A$AP Rocky.

Launched from the Turkish shipyard's new build facilities in July, Simena unveiled her steel–carbon composite structure, traditional teak decks and varnished Sipo mahogany exteriors. Said to be inspired by a "gentler age of sail", the ketch sailing yacht has been loosely modelled after a clipper ship, with her name a nod to the centuries of Turkish maritime heritage. Inside, Simena's interior is adorned in walnut, marble, antiqued brass and textured leather, offering accommodation for up to 12 guests in a six-cabin layout.

Fresh from the shipyard, the Dutch-built sailing sloop W Magic caught the industry's attention for her pedigree Lloyd's class build and sporty finish. Launched in January 2025, the fast cruising sloop is host to new Vitters' innovations including two "submarine" anchor systems and a "peak shaving" battery system. A highlight on board is the covered main cockpit, which allows for al fresco dining and lounging in all weather conditions and blends the inside with the out thanks to expansive glass doors leading into the main saloon. Accommodation is for 10 across a five-cabin layout, including that of a large full-beam owner’s suite complete with an en suite bathroom, his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes, and an office.
