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.

Dutch builder Heesen launched the 55-metre Laurentia in 2017 as part of its Steel Class series, constructed with a fast displacement hull from Van Oossanen and a sharp and angular profile from Omega Architects. Inside, Laurentia's look is bright and airy, with well-proportioned and contemporary interiors benefitting from sliding glass doors, floor-to-ceiling windows and a wall of mirrors to give the illusion of a larger space. The sundeck serves as the social heart of the yacht and boasts a hot tub flanked by sunpads, a sit-up bar and another dining area. Meanwhile, closer to the water, an air-conditioned beach club hosts lounge seating, exercise equipment for waterside workouts and an extensive range of water toys.

When delivered in 2011 Seanna became the Italian yard's fifth largest yacht – not far behind the then-flagship Kingdom 5KR. She was constructed to an in-house exterior design and naval architecture, while her interiors were penned by British studio RWD and Susan Young. There are standout features aplenty on board the 64.5-metre, the list including a main saloon that can convert into a cinema, a massage room for two, a library with an electric fireplace, a touch-and-go helipad and a fully-equipped gym at sea level with a fold-down terrace. Accommodation for 14 guests comprises six doubles and two twins, one of which is a main-deck master with two full bathrooms, a private lounge and an owner's study.

Builder: Holland Jachtbouw
Length: 64m
Designers: Hoek Design Naval Architects

Rejoining the market in April 2025, the 64-metre sailing yacht Athos is a true modern icon from Dutch shipyard Holland Jachtbouw. Delivered in 2010 to a complete aluminium design by Hoek Design Naval Architects, she remains the world’s largest two-masted schooner and has circumnavigated the globe twice. When launched, Athos also became the flagship of the Holland Jachtbouw fleet – a title she still holds today. She underwent a 14-month refit in 2022 by Huisfit, including a 1.25-metre stern extension, a reconfigured deck layout and a full interior rebuild, earning a World Superyacht Award in 2023. A further technical upgrade in 2025 saw the installation of new engines, generators and thrusters. Accommodation is for 10 guests in five cabins, including a duplex owner’s suite with a private cockpit.

Loon was delivered in 2010 with her most recent refit project in 2020. 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.

Builder: Riva
Length: 54m
Designers: Officina Italiana Design

Sairu was delivered in 2026 as the first of Riva's new 54Metri series and the largest yacht built by the Italian shipyard to date. Designed throughout by Officina Italiana Design, she features Riva's classic design DNA on a "monumental" scale, with a metallic "Moon Grey" and "London Grey" exterior paired with dark glazing, polished steel and an aquamarine bootstripe. Sairu spans four decks (all connected by a central lift), each one designed to offer both a seamless connection with the water in addition to maximum privacy for her owner. A standout on board is her beach club, which opens directly onto the sea via a wide transformer swim platform and fold-out bulwarks. Here, a four-by-two-metre freshwater pool (which can remain filled while underway) takes pride of place, while steps lead away from the water into a tinted glass-enclosed gym.

Builder: Vitters

Designers: Reichel Pugh Yacht Design, Design Unlimited

Fresh from the shipyard, the Dutch-built sailing sloop 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.

Alfa G re-entered the market following a comprehensive €20 million refit, which upgraded all onboard systems and focused extensively on her sundeck. Redesigned for versatility, the new deck features flexible dining arrangements, a bar, a barbecue and a swimming pool surrounded by sunpads. Her original Winch interior was restyled by Alexandre Thiriat, creating a "refined and warm atmosphere" with bespoke furnishings and curated art pieces. Accommodating up to 16 guests, the yacht for sale features six cabins, including a master suite on the main deck, and a VIP stateroom, two doubles and two twins on the lower deck.
