The most expensive yachts for sale at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2025 so far

9 October 2025 • Written by Emily Dawkins

As the 2025 edition of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) prepares to return to the Sunshine State, brokerage firms are getting ready to showcase some of the best and biggest yachts for sale in their fleet. BOAT spotlights the most expensive yachts confirmed for the show so far...

Hampshire

18 images

Length: 66.3m
Builder: Feadship
Year: 2016

Hampshire takes the crown as the most expensive superyacht currently set to attend FLIBS this year, although she stands out for more than just her price tag. Originally delivered in 2016 as Vanish, the motor yacht has been "continually enhanced" by her current owner and presented to the market in "as new" condition. Her all-white exterior design is characterised by clean, flowing lines and a classic raked bow, with four spacious decks offering a "light, timeless and thoughtfully crafted" interior adorned in a contemporary New England style. British studio Harrison Eidsgaard is the studio responsible. Hampshire was listed for sale in September this year, after a previous sale in 2018, where she was on the market for less than 90 days.

Hampshire is asking €85,000,000 (VAT paid) with Cecil Wright.

Kaiser

60m abeking and rasmussen motor yacht kaisen for sale

18 images

Length: 60m
Builder: Abeking & Rasmussen
Year: 2011

Abeking & Rasmussen's 60-metre Kaiser rejoined the brokerage market at the start of this month, having had only one owner since her 2011 delivery. An exterior by Donald Starkey hosts interiors by Bannenberg & Rowell, with the German build adorned in rich colours, dark woods and complementary patterns throughout her notably spacious 1,090GT of interior volume. Accommodation is for 12 guests in six cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite with a private lounge, his-and-hers en suites and panoramic views, while outside there are numerous al fresco spaces as well as a multi-use sundeck equipped with a Jacuzzi, bar and a dumbwaiter directly connected to the galley.

Kaiser is asking $49,000,000 with Fraser.

Hemisphere

Length: 44.2m
Builder: Pendennis
Year: 2011

The third largest yacht for sale set to attend this year's edition of FLIBS so far is Pendennis' sailing catamaran Hemisphere. Despite being almost half the size of last year's big-ticket 78.4-metre Amaryllis (which was sold in August this year), Hemisphere stands out against the crowd for her status as the world’s largest sailing catamaran. Built in 2011 and refitted in 2023, she was designed for "off-the-beaten-track exploration" by renowned multihull designers Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prévost (VPLP Design) and sports a "sensational interior" by Michael Leach Design. Accommodation is for a party of up to 12 guests across five cabins, all of whom are able to enjoy amenities including an elevated flybridge Jacuzzi.

Hemisphere is asking €46,000,000 with Burgess.

Scott Free

Length: 60m
Builder: Abeking & Rasmussen
Year: 2009

60-metre Scott Free was first delivered in 2009, constructed to an exterior design by Donald Starkey Designs and outfitted with interiors by British studio Bannenberg & Rowell. 13 years later, in 2022, the 60-metre was relaunched from her original German builders after undergoing an extensive six-month refit. Aside from the obvious gleaming paint job – whereby her navy hull was repainted a new sky blue – works included an interior overhaul, now decorated in a "bold mix of contemporary design and comfort", and the addition of a sea-level beach club. 12 guests are accommodated in six cabins, comprising an Art Deco-inspired master on the main deck, four guest suites on the lower deck and one "multi-purpose" cabin on the bridge deck - all connected via an eye-catching silver spiral staircase.

Scott Free is asking €43,500,000 with Burgess.

Book Ends

18 images

Length: 49.9m
Builder: Heesen
Year: 2022

Delivered by the Dutch yard just three years ago, Book Ends follows Aquamarine as the second unit in Heesen's 5000 Aluminium series, with a sporty exterior profile owed to Omega Architects. Commissioned by an experienced yachtsman, the motor yacht features polished, contemporary interiors from Cristiano Gatto, with her walls hung with a selection of acclaimed modern art. Onboard highlights include an "innovative" saloon design that sees curved bulkheads separating the lounge and dining areas, a main stairwell with atriums on all three levels and a hardtop sundeck with a Jacuzzi, which acts as the main on-deck communal space.

Book Ends is asking $38,500,000 with Ocean Independence.

Ela

Length: 49.9m
Builder: Heesen
Year: 2021

Another yacht from the Dutch yard attending FLIBS this year is Ela, delivered in 2021. She was built from Heesen's Nova Plus design and engineering platform, with a Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) - "arguably the most efficient hull in her class" - designed by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Omega Architects penned her plumb-bow adorned exterior, while her "airy" interior is from the studio of Cristiano Gatto. Ela is often recognised for the large amount of structural glass across her profile, as well as her mirrored window mullions, which seem almost invisible against her contemporary profile. In addition to her welcoming, open-plan living spaces, highlights on board include a fully-equipped gym and sauna on the lower deck.

Ela is asking $38,500,000 with Ocean Independence.

Eternity

18 images

Length: 65m
Builder: Codecasa
Year: 2010

Eternity is the first 65-metre motor yacht built by Codecasa and arguably the flagship of the Italian yard's fleet. She was launched in April 2010, closely followed by the launch of the 65-metre Joia the Crown Jewel in June of the same year, and the 65-metre Regina D'Italia in 2019. Originally penned by Codecasa's in-house design team, Cantieri Navali and Franco & Anna Della Role, significant works in 2022 saw Eternity's exteriors and interiors refitted to "superlative standards" by Suzanne Lovell. Her 1,046GT interiors for 14 guests in seven cabins are "Bahamas-esque", decorated with a subtle ocean theme. A popular charter yacht, one of Eternity's standout features is her six-metre Jacuzzi pool on the foredeck that doubles as an exercise pool with several current resistance speeds.

Eternity is asking €35,000,000 with Moravia Yachting.

Gene Machine

Length: 55m
Builder: Amels
Year: 2013

Returning to FLIBS for the second year in a row is the first Amels 180 motor yacht, Gene Machine. A yacht famed for her scientific exploits, the 55-metre was delivered with several customisations, including a computer desk in the upper saloon, more windows than standard and colourful, cartoon tiling in her beach club sauna. Accommodation on board is across five cabins, including an upper deck master suite which features a king-sized bed, a fold-down balcony, a private spa pool and 180-degree views forward. Tim Heywood penned her exterior design, while her warm and welcoming interiors are owed to Enzo Enea and Focus Yacht Design.

Gene Machine is asking €35,000,000 with Cecil Wright and Merle Wood & Associates.

W

18 images

Length: 57.6m
Builder: Feadship
Year: 2013

Despite first hitting the water in 2013, W returned to the Dutch yard several years later to undergo a significant refit with works including the addition of a larger Jacuzzi on her sundeck and a major interior redesign. When relaunched in 2020, she unveiled two additional staterooms, a complete revamp of her main deck lounge and other substantial layout alterations. Her spacious interior - originally designed by British studio Bannenberg & Rowell, with touches from A La Mer during her refit – offers accommodation for 12 guests in six cabins, while outside, she's now home to a 21-metre-long sundeck with a Jacuzzi, bar, dining areas and ample sunpads.

W is asking €34,900,000 (US duty paid) with Edmiston and Worth Avenue Yachts.

Goldeneye

18 images

Length: 54m
Builder: Overmarine Group
Year: 2020

Goldeneye was delivered as the second unit from the Mangusta GranSport 54 series, penned by Alberto Mancini with naval architecture by Pierluigi Ausonio PLANA. Inside, a predominantly neutral colour scheme paired with statement gloss wood and textured panelling accommodates up to 12 guests in seven cabins, including a full-beam master and two VIPs. Outside, Goldeneye's wide aft deck is a highlight, offering the perfect place for shaded al fresco dining or taking in the views, while easy twin steps lead to the beach club: a haven of its own with a fold-down swim platform and balconies on either side.

Goldeneye is asking $32,900,000 with FGI Yacht Group.

EIV

18 images

Length: 48.8m
Builder: Rossinavi
Year: 2020

EIV rejoined the brokerage market in April, putting her automotive-inspired exterior design from Enrico Gobbi's Team For Design, and her contemporary interior from the same studio, back in the spotlight. She is the yard’s only Vector 50m model, with naval architecture from Arrabito Naval Architects fusing "technical sophistication, bold styling and exceptional onboard amenities", according to her broker. Three onboard pools, a “Party Mode” audio system, a skylounge-cum-cinema lounge and a full-beam master suite with a private office complete with a massage chair and four temperature-controlled wine cabinets make up just some of EIV's more-than-attractive features.

EIV is asking $32,750,000 with Northrop & Johnson.

Silver Lining

18 images

Length: 50m
Builder: Christensen
Year: 2016

Silver Lining was built by the US yard to ABS class and delivered in 2016 as the first superyacht from Christensen since its 2015 buyout. She boasts the largest volume in a Christensen yacht to date (with interiors that measure over 637 square metres) and as a result, offers a grand main saloon with a formal dining area for 12, a full-beam sky lounge complete with a built-in bar with Onyx top, and a sundeck with a Jacuzzi forward and a fully certified touch-and-go helipad aft. Accommodation is for up to 16 guests across six spacious cabins, including a full-beam master suite on the main deck and a lower deck full-beam VIP.

Silver Lining is asking $30,950,000 with Worth Avenue Yachts.

Valinor

18 images

Length: 50m
Builder: Westport
Year: 2013

The 11th hull of 14 from the American yard's coveted 164 model, Valinor, is another yacht making a comeback to FLIBS for the second year in a row. Designed throughout by Donald Starkey, her slender white profile outside is host to "rich woodwork" and a "chic mix" of neutral and colourful tones throughout her interiors. Accommodation on board is for up to 15 guests in six staterooms, including a large master suite on the bridge deck with a private terrace, steam shower and walk-in wardrobe - same deck also featuring a custom barbecue set-up with a large al fresco dining table aft. Up top, her sundeck offers a full bar, Jacuzzi, gym equipment and sunpads.

Valinor is asking $27,500,000 with Northrop & Johnson.

Skyfall

18 images

Length: 57.9m
Builder: Trinity Yachts
Year: 2010

Not shy to the Fort Lauderdale area is the American-built motor yacht Skyfall, which has spent over 180 days in the state of Florida this year, according to BOATPro. Delivered in 2010, the 57.9-metre was designed by Geoff Van Aller and outfitted with interiors by Patrick Knowles. Honduran mahogany, European maple burl wood and Australian lacewood characterise her interior, which features a formal lounge and dining area, a grand foyer that doubles as a remarkable wine showcase and an intricate central stairwell amidships (although guests can also make use of a central lift). Outside, her brokers describe Skyfall as "an oasis" - mostly due to her large sundeck with a Jacuzzi, separate plunge pool, sunpads, sofas, bar and a touch-and-go helipad that doubles as a basketball court.

Skyfall is asking $27,500,000 with FGI Yacht Group.

Lady Elaine

18 images

Length: 49.7m
Builder: Christensen
Year: 2008

Just like Skyfall above, another yacht originally commissioned for "American yachting legend John Staluppi" is Lady Elaine (ex Casino Royale). And with onboard features including a king-sized master with an extra-large Jacuzzi tub, a full-beam skylounge and a sundeck with a large Jacuzzi and wet bar, it's no surprise. She was designed in-house by the yard and originally outfitted with James Bond-inspired interiors by Carol Williamson, yet she is predominantly still decorated in the same classical sapele mahogany paired with cool silver tones.

Lady Elaine is asking $25,900,000 with RJC Yachts.

Gene Chaser

Length: 55.5m
Builder: Damen Yachting
Year: 2020

As the name suggests, Gene Chaser is never far behind from her mothership Gene Machine, so it comes as no surprise that the 55.5-metre support vessel will also be attending this year's FLIBS. Often spotted cruising in tandem with their matching grey hull and orange bootstripe, the duo are famed for their ownership by DNA sequencing scientist Dr Jonathan Rothberg, who modified the vessels with scientific research in mind. Gene Chaser herself is host to multiple laboratories onboard, as well as more luxury amenities, including a beach club and scuba diving centre and a touch-and-go helipad. She was built by Damen Yachting as the ninth unit from its 50-metre Yacht Support series and, in 2023, racked up 38,235 nautical miles of travel, including a full circumnavigation of the globe.

Gene Chaser is asking €25,700,000 with Cecil Wright and Merle Wood & Associates.

Missing Link

18 images

Length: 43.3m
Builder: Christensen
Year: 2015

The only Christensen yacht built from the 43-metre series, Missing Link joined the market in March this year for the first time since her launch 10 years ago. Adorned with several similarities from the yard's popular 50-metre model (including the same wide nine-metre beam), the 43.3-metre was penned in-house by the US shipyard and outfitted with a modern and textural interior from Carol Williamson. On board, guests can enjoy multiple lounge spaces, both inside and out, including on the Jacuzzi-clad sundeck, the bridge deck aft with a fire pit and the relaxed open-plan skylounge. A lift services all four decks – an impressive feature for a yacht of her size – or there is an illuminated curved marble staircase that draws attention amidships.

Missing Link is asking $24,950,000 with DYB Group.
