Delivered in 2018, Casino Royale (ex Solo) 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.

Designers: Feadship De Voogt, Bannenberg & Rowell

Delivered as Larisa in 2013, W cruised under the same owner until she was sold in 2019. A 10-month refit soon followed, which saw W emerge from Feadship's Holland facilities with a gleaming silver hull, a larger Jacuzzi and an all-new television lounge. "The best thing about W is that she is a steel-hulled Feadship – and nothing even comes close," said W's current owner. "She gives you the freedom to explore anywhere in the world, unlike coastal yachts built by other companies." She's our latest entry to the list, having joined the market in April 2024. 

Builder: Benetti
Length: 63.5m
Designers: Stefano Natucci, Argent Design

Delivered in 2006, Lioness V  was described by the broker as a "milestone for Benetti and the industry alike" – though her layout benefits from a "proven format", particularly in the main saloon, dining area and upper deck. The main saloon opens up to the aft deck arranged with full bar, lounge area and extra wide staircase that leads down to the swim platform. An interesting perk is found up on the sundeck, arranged with a plunge pool, sunpads and an automated golf Tee-it driving range. A gym, steam room and shower are also to hand. The superyacht was listed for sale for the first time in September 2023.

Sporting a large helipad on the aft deck, Arrow offers a versatile platform for intrepid explorers to roam the globe aboard. An explorer submarine is not part of the inventory but, like the helicopter, can be purchased separately. Her large Jacuzzi provides a welcome spot to unwind, as does her beach club and airy, contemporary main saloon, with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that slide open onto an al fresco lounge. The superyacht is also equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and communication systems.
