The most expensive superyacht for sale is Lady Lara, which has joined the market for the first time since her delivery in 2015. She boasts a range of entertainment amenities, including two swimming pools – the largest of which can be transformed into a dance-floor – and a custom surround sound set-up. The second pool is found on the sundeck with a swim-up bar, with a large day bed and sun lounger also on this level. Accommodation is for a total of 16 guests across eight cabins and the master suite is positioned on a dedicated owner's deck. It includes a private exterior terrace accessible from the cabin, a library, his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms.

Pelorus was delivered in 2003 as the 11th largest superyacht in the world and easily the largest yacht to be built by Lürssen at the time. She was commissioned by a Saudi businessman who enjoyed a single cruise aboard his new vessel before a new buyer made an offer too good to refuse. Exterior designer Tim Heywood stocked the yacht with a top deck lido featuring two swimming pools, two helicopter pads and a vast sea-level platform that is revealed by opening the transom. The immense task of designing the interior was carried out by Terence Disdale, who opted to use natural materials wherever possible to maintain a "casual" atmosphere to offset the yacht’s imposing frame. Pelorus can welcome 18 guests with room for an additional 46 crew members.

Roaring highlights include a sommelier room, multiple swimming pools, a plush cinema room and a custom Steinway for some musical accompaniment at mealtimes.

A full bar, cosy gas firepit, al fresco dining table and ample sunbathing spots round out the superyacht's list of amenities.

The first unit in the Amels 60 series (and the only Amels 60 on the market), Come Together was commissioned by a serial superyacht owner who, unsurprisingly, happens to be a fan of The Beatles.

The guest cabins found on the lower deck benefit from direct access to the beach club where a large 38-square-metre swim platform, ice bath and sauna awaits. Her crowning glory, however, is a 27-metre sun deck complete with a raised sun lounging space, a Jacuzzi and a bar and an extendable dining table protected from the elements that seats up to 18 guests.
