Marguerite was built under the supervision of the Moran new construction team, with a design brief that requested a private owner’s area, professional dive centre, hefty tender storage and the ability to cruise for thirty days at a time. The owner's cabin is a particular highlight, spanning two decks and designed with an observation lounge, access to a private foredeck and a floating staircase that leads to an upper deck study. The yacht benefitted from a full interior refit after a change in ownership at the end of 2021.

Delivered in 2010, Kahalani has been privately owned by one owner since new and has been helmed by the same captain. She benefits from two large saloons, with the bridge deck saloon, unusually, being full-beam. Tessier's contrasting light and dark finishes make for a spectacularly clean and contemporary look throughout the interior. Elsewhere, the sundeck sports a Jacuzzi, full bar and completely sheltered dining for 12. The bridge deck offers indoor-outdoor formal dining at a large circular table for 12, thanks to semi-circular glass sliding doors.

Commissioned by a "pair of highly experienced New Jersey yachtsmen", Jackpot was the last yacht ever completed at the builder’s Vancouver facility, before it made the move to Tennessee. Accommodation is for up to 16 guests in six cabins, with all cabins benefitting from "sophisticated entertainment systems" and en suite bathroom facilities. Special features include a superyacht elevator for easy access to all four decks and a helipad on the sundeck, complete with fuel storage facilities.

Ela was delivered in 2021 as a Nova Plus model and benefits from a Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, "arguably the most efficient hull in her class". She stands out from sisterships Home, Erica and Amare II thanks to her mullions. Fitted with Warm Canaletto walnut, topped with downward-facing spotlights for nighttime illumination and backed by mirrors that touch the glass, the mullions amplify and multiply all ocean views. Other highlights include a coffee table with colour-changing onyx, a sundeck with a Jacuzzi and full-service bar, and a tender bay that can convert into an outdoor cinema.

Delivered in 2020, Neenah was built on spec but sold shortly after delivery, marking one of the most expensive superyacht sales of the year. Accommodation is across six cabins, including a full-beam owner's cabin with an office, lounge area and bathroom with freestanding bathtub. Up top, the sundeck features a sit-up bar, a Jacuzzi and low, freestanding seating for evening cocktails. An elevator serves all decks.

Aelia was delivered nearly a decade ago, but a €4,000,000 interior refit – completed this year to designs by Studio Vafiadis – has left her as good as new. The yacht has accommodation for a party of 12 guests across eight cabins, including two master suites on the upper deck. Leisure highlights include a massage room, a gym and a cinema, though the exterior deck spaces are also worth noting. In particular, the top deck features a glass-backed Jacuzzi pool where guests can watch the wake disappear at 17 knots. According to the broker, Aelia also has an "impeccable charter record".

Legasea belongs to the shipyard's B.Now series and was delivered in 2023. Her design is characterised by an open-air, 36-square-metre beach club between the main deck aft and the swim platform, with an infinity swimming pool that sits between the two levels. Connection with the outdoors is further encouraged with her sundeck, designed with an infinity pool, a hot tub and a lounge area. Indoors, the yacht's airy, open-plan layout is arranged with a "voluminous" main saloon and formal dining area. Accommodation is across five cabins.

No Stress Two was the first vessel to be delivered under Rossinavi's BluE initiative and operates as a hybrid vessel. She has five different operating modes to maximise energy (whether at anchor or underway) and AI technology that monitors consumption when cruising in electric mode. The yacht marks Rossinavi's ninth collaboration with Enrico Gobbi - Team for Design and shares the same sporty character as seen on previous projects such as EIV and Flying Dagger. Other highlights include a 10-square-metre pool and a DJ station overlooking the open-plan beach club for "unforgettable parties", according to the broker.

Calypso stands out thanks to her voluminous, "lavish" interiors, including a spectacular two-level master suite at main deck level. Stretching to the yacht's full beam, this suite is described as a "sanctuary" and sports an overhead skylight. Leach rarely holds back on ceiling heights and Calypso's is 4.2 metres high here. Meanwhile, the sundeck is split into three sections: a lounge seating and Jacuzzi area; an enclosed, air-conditioned gym; an open space designed for sunbathing or al fresco workouts, which also has an outdoor cinema set-up.

Builder: Mengi Yay
Length: 47.5m

Serenissima I is the first unit in a new Mengi Yay series designed by Italian firm Nuvolari Lenard. The yacht was commissioned by an experienced owner who wanted the deck and interior space of a larger vessel in a Med-friendly package, with "showstopper features" that include an elevator, a dedicated owner's deck and "one of the largest [sundecks] in this category of yachts". A main saloon complete with a balcony and a wine cellar is another key customisation. Serenissima I made her debut at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show.
