Polar Star joined the brokerage market for the first time in 2023, nearly 20 years after her delivery. The superyacht underwent an extensive refit in 2016 and has been continuously upgraded, including a full repaint by Pinmar in 2021. During her refit, the superyacht gym was overhauled, getting a new floor, while the hexagonal spa pool was replaced with a more practical rectangular, glass-fronted one, flanked by large sunpads. Up top, the sundeck's hardtop was replaced with a vast 60-square-metre carbon-fibre opening one, promising a weight reduction.

A world cruiser, Amadeus has an impressive range of 9,000 nautical miles – and more than enough amenities to keep guests entertained on long journeys. This includes a full bar in the main saloon, a cinema room for 14 people, a custom Steinway piano and a sundeck with Jacuzzi and all-weather umbrellas. The private owner's deck is also well outfitted, featuring a full-beam master cabin, a lounge and private exterior space plus a gymnasium and attached sauna. Remaining accommodation is for up to 14 guests and 23 crew.

Loon is both one of most recognisable superyachts on the social media scene – owed to her trend-savvy crew – and an enviable charter platform, with the broker reporting over $13 million in gross revenues in 18 months.  On the main deck, the raised pool is the crowd pleaser – panels of glass filter light down to the beach club which was extended considerably during a 2014 refit with Icon Yachts. Accommodation is across a main deck master suite with a private lounge, a VIP suite on the upper deck and lower deck cabins with direct access to said beach club.

The award-winning Utopia IV is on the market for the first time since her delivery in 2018. She recently benefitted from a refit which included a full paint job and service of all major machinery including engines, jet drives, and generators. Accommodation is across six en suite cabins, including a forward-facing master suite with its own six-metre terrace. Brands such as Armani and Hermes feature throughout. Special features include a 70-square-metre beach club in the transom, three spa pools and a touch-and-go helipad. In 2023, she made headlines when she rescued a stranded vessel off the coast of Florida.

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.

Builder: Feadship
Length: 57.6m
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.

In 2017 (a year after her launch), Samurai was nominated for a Showboats Design Award. The superyacht has also proven to be a successful charter platform, thanks to her 1,029GT volume and four convertible guest cabins. The master cabin measures 87.1 square metres and features its own lounge area and architectural skylight. Other perks include a spacious sundeck with Jacuzzi pool, a gymnasium and a folding swim platform for easy access to the water – complemented by the yacht's impressive variety of watertoys.

Book Ends follows Aquamarine as the second unit in the Dutch shipyard's 5000 Aluminium series. She was built by an experienced yachtsman and is in as-new condition with low hours and light owners use. Accommodation is for 12 guests in five cabins, including a full-beam (nine metre) owner's cabin forward on the main deck with marble bathroom, separate study and walk-in wardrobe. Book Ends' flex-use beach club is also worth noting – the broker envisions the space converted to a sea-level gym for morning workouts, a lounge area during the day and an entertainment space by night.

Builder: Amels
Length: 55m
Designers: Tim Heywood, Laura Sessa Design

The last in the popular Amels 180 Limited Edition series, Galene is named after the Ancient Greek for "serenity and tranquility". Relaxation is definitely an ethos carried throughout her design, from her "calm, subtly Art Deco" interiors to the enlarged sundeck, measuring 25 metres long and providing 155 square metres of lounge space. Galene also benefits from three balconies, one in the master suite and the remaining in the main saloon. She was commissioned in 2019 by an owner who wanted a yacht "built to travel the world".

Builder: Codecasa
Length: 55.8m
Designers: Tommaso Spadolini

Commissioned by an experienced owner looking to upgrade in size, this custom-built superyacht has only been privately and lightly used since new. My Legacy's standout feature is her interior decòr, which incorporates rich, damask fabrics with a jewel-toned colour palette of reds and blues. Up top, her substantial sundeck is arranged with a bar, sunloungers and a pool flanked by sunpads and sheltered by a windscreen.
