Breakthrough
Builder: Feadship
Length: 118.8m
Feadship's flagship build, the 118.8-metre Breakthrough, hit the water in May this year, capturing the industry's attention not only for her high volume (30 per cent more than her predecessor Launchpad), but also for her new status as the world's first fuel-cell-powered superyacht. She was born from the drawing boards of British studio RWD, designed to feel like a "secluded, four-level townhouse by the sea". Onboard amenities include a semi-submerged Neptune lounge, cinema, library, hospital facility and 8.2-metre pool with contraflow, while accommodation is for 30 guests in 12 cabins. Breakthrough also features more hull openings than the Dutch yard had ever attempted before, totalling fourteen balconies and seven unfolding platforms.
Breakthrough is POA with Edmiston.
Energy
Builder: Amels
Length: 77.8m
Tasked with a brief to "defy convention and find ways to connect with the ocean", naval architect Espen Øino and interior designer François Zuretti came together to create Energy, a design duo that first worked together on Blohm & Voss' 74.5-metre Eco, now Zeus, with Martin Francis in the 1980s. An impressive interior volume of 2,885GT houses accommodation for 14 guests (including a spacious owner's suite with private terrace and a Jacuzzi), a sea-level gym complete with a beauty salon, sauna and Hammam, a beach club with bar and fold-out terrace and a glass lift. She has only been used privately since her delivery in 2022.
Energy is asking €199,000,000 with Burgess and Fraser.
Gigia
Length: 85m
Builder: Lürssen
Gigia hit the water in 2017, constructed to Passenger Yacht Code (PYC) for a family-orientated owner. It was British design studio Winch Design that took on the challenge of combining classic design with the strict requirements of the PYC yachts of the time. The result? A fluid exterior profile with classic American-inspired interiors accommodating 20 guests in 10 cabins. An onboard highlight is the private owner's deck: host to a lounge, bar, dining area, terrace and a private Jacuzzi, all in addition to a suite with his and hers bathrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing room. Gigia stands out for her amenities too, although particular attention can be given to her fully-equipped spa with multiple pools, steam room, sauna, ice plunge pool, dedicated massage and treatment room and hair salon.
Gigia is asking €169,000,000 with Burgess.
Maximus
Builder: Vitters
Length: 59m
The third-largest sailing yacht ever built by the Dutch shipyard, Maximus joined the market for the first time in June this year. Commissioned for a highly experienced owner with a "focus on performance, comfort and precision", Maximus was constructed in aluminium to a design by Germán Frers - marking the second collaboration between the yard and designer. The full-displacement cruising ketch has been engineered for both blue water range and comfort, with an interior by Spencer-Churchill Designs Ltd, that is warm and tasteful: characterised by an extensive use of "golden-hued" anigre wood. Accommodation is for up to 10 guests across four en suite cabins.
Maximus is asking €79,500,000 with Edmiston.
Stella Mi
Builder: Amels
Length: 60m
Exteriors by Tim Heywood and interiors by Reymond Langton Design define the first unit from the Amels 200 Limited Edition series, Stella Mi. A mix of curved, elongated lines and repeated floor-to-ceiling windows characterise the 60-metre's all-white profile, while inside, a contemporary and bright interior hosts up to 14 guests in a six-cabin layout. Key features on board include eco-friendly hybrid propulsion, a lift serving all decks and a generous offering of outdoor living; one of which is the sundeck, which, in addition to the frequent sunpad, Jacuzzi and sit-up bar amenities, is host to a wellness centre, an air-conditioned gym and a massage room. Notably, the superyacht has had only one single season of private use following her delivery in 2021.
Stella Mi is asking €71,500,000 with Burgess.
Wedge Too
Builder: Feadship
Length: 65m
Making her brokerage debut at last year's Monaco Yacht Show, Feadship's Wedge Too is returning this year to make just as big of an impact. Designed by "one of the most famous designers in the world" Philippe Starck, the 65-metre hit the water in 2002 to her present owners – never chartered and kept purely private with little use. Onboard highlights include the "totally private" sundeck with an oval-shaped pool and the owner's deck, with a forward-facing semi-circle of windows plus two independent double cabins, a pantry, a private veranda forward and an owner's saloon aft, leading out to a private owner's aft deck.
Wedge Too is asking €49,500,000 with Camper & Nicholsons and Feadship Resale.
Simena
Builder: Ares Yachts
Length: 62m
Fresh from the shipyard, Ares Yachts' flagship Simena hit the water in July this year, showcasing her steel–carbon composite structure built to a design by Taka Yacht Design. Said to be inspired by a "gentler age of sail", the ketch has been loosely modelled after a clipper ship with a full-rigged bowsprit, traditional teak decks and varnished Sipo mahogany exteriors. A traditional walnut and cream colour palette outside houses a contrasting yet complimentary interior by Design Unlimited, adorned in marbles, leathers and brass. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in six cabins.
Simena is asking €45,900,000 with Northrop & Johnson.
Magic
Builder: Vitters
Length: 44.3m
A trim grey exterior with "modern, dynamic exterior lines" by US-based Reichel Pugh Yacht Design defines the Dutch-built fast cruising sloop, Magic. Another new launch this year, the 44.3-metre features ample glazing and a modern superstructure, with "contemporary" interiors by British studio Design Unlimited in collaboration with Pieter Laureys, TKI. Magic is host to plenty of options for al fresco dining, yet the major highlight is her technical innovations, including "submarine" anchor systems and a "peak-shaving" battery system.
Magic is asking €45,000,000 with Burgess.
Scott Free
Builder: Abeking & Rasmussen
Length: 60m
First delivered in 2009, Scott Free peaked interest in 2022 when she was relaunched from the German yard after an extensive six-month refit, revealing her new sky blue hull (a change from the previous navy), as well as an interior overhaul and the addition of a sea-level beach club. Exteriors penned by Donald Starkey Designs house interiors by Bannenberg & Rowell, characterised by their "bold mix" of contemporary design and comfort, including a curated onboard art collection. Standouts include numerous al fresco outdoor spaces, a broad open-plan sky lounge with "whimsical" lighting and a silver-clad spiral staircase.
Scott Free is asking €43,500,000 with Burgess.
King Benji
Builder: Dunya Yachts
Length: 46.7m
2025 BOAT International Design & Innovation Award-winner and popular charter yacht, King Benji will be a hot commodity at the Monaco Yacht Show this year. Her bright blue explorer profile by Gregory C. Marshall catches the eye, while her award-winning interiors from British studio Design Unlimited steal the show. Ocean-themed cabins, a custom sushi bar and materials such as bamboo and organic woven fibres define King Benji's tropical interior, a design said to "stem from the owner's spirit and passion for adventure." She even features a custom tub at the bow, with a middle drop slide panel to create a variation of water temperatures.
King Benji is asking $39,500,000 with Merle Wood & Associates and Denison Yachting.
Aelia
Builder: Benetti
Length: 55.9m
Aelia was first delivered in 2015, constructed in steel and aluminium by Italian yard Benetti to an in-house design. Almost 10 years later, in 2024, she emerged from a €4 million interior refit, reimagined by Studio Vafiadis, with her new 988GT interiors "bathed in natural light" with "sophisticated design elements" including polished warm woods and rich leathers. Accommodation is provided for a party of 12 guests in eight cabins, including two master cabins on the upper deck, while amenities include a massage room, gym and a cinema, all accessible via a lift which serves her four decks.
Aelia is asking €38,500,000 with IYC.
Vision
Builder: Benetti
Length: 60m
Vision was delivered in 2011, constructed to a design by Stefano Natucci, with interiors by acclaimed Parisian designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. At 60 metres, the motor yacht is a shining example of the Italian yard's 59M model, yet she is specifically notable for her bold interior and expansive deck space. Dark marble floors and exotic ebony walls lie behind sculpted columns and stairwells decorated with Greek mythology motifs, while the main saloon is decorated in high-gloss Macassar ebony with intricate wall panelling and mahogany flooring. Up top, the sundeck is just as enticing, with a raised Jacuzzi, sun lounge and cocktail tables forward, a full bar and dining area amidships and sunpads, an AV system, nightclub setup and cinema screen in the elevated aft section.
Vision is asking €33,000,000 with Camper & Nicholsons.
After You
Builder: Heesen
Length: 55m
A World Superyacht Awards nominee, After You carries the curved, predatory signature design of long-standing Heesen collaborator, Omega Architects. She is best known for her unusual and "lavish" interiors – originally created by Ken Freivokh and Michela Reverberi, later redesigned by Mark Berryman – that incorporate warm leathers and pops of yellow and blue. Her sundeck is worth mentioning for its "state-of-the-art" gym, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and leading out to a relaxation area with a Jacuzzi. There is also a full-width spa with a steam room, sauna, treatment room and relaxation space.
After You is asking €32,500,000 with TWW Yachts.
Oceanbird
Builder: Sanlorenzo
Length: 53m
This Sanlorenzo 52Steel model (designed by Officina Italiana Design) was highly customised by her original owner, resulting in spectacular, characterful interiors. The owner’s suite, which spans the entire upper deck, is described as an "owner’s penthouse" and includes a cigar lounge and a fireplace on the aft terrace, while its bathroom benefits from underfloor heating and a bathtub by the windows. But Oceanbird’s most unique feature is her "Room of Temptation". A space designed with rounded edges and glass-fronted fridges, here, guests will find a large wine and champagne fridge, aged beef and a selection of caviar and cheeses, "all presented with meticulous attention to detail".
Oceanbird is asking €31,500,000 with SuperYachtsMonaco.
Acala
Builder: Cantiere delle Marche
Length: 43.1m
Nicknamed the "modest explorer yacht", Acala was custom-built for an experienced owner who sought a more comfortable platform from their previous (and smaller) Darwin 102, to visit and dive in the remote islands of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. As such, top features include a beach club dive store – illuminated by the glass bottom of the aft deck pool – and an "expedition-worthy" range of 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots. She took home a trophy at the 2023 World Superyacht Awards, praised for her "rugged good looks" (courtesy of Horacio Bozzo Design), excellent crew areas, diving store and "elegant and modern" interiors by Mexican designer Simon Hamui.
Acala is asking €29,995,000 with Cecil Wright.
Black Legend
Builder: Overmarine Group
Length: 49.9m
One of the most recognisable yachts on the water, Black Legend has joined the market in "immaculate" condition having only been lightly used and operated under her original ownership. Her edgy exterior is paired with Asian-inspired interiors, typified by a predominantly black and modern achromatic colour palette with contrasting red and gold furnishings. Unconventionally, all of the cabins are found on the lower deck, complemented by a gym and cinema both outfitted in the same decor.
Black Legend is asking €23,950,000 with Camper & Nicholsons and Northrop & Johnson.
SpaceCat
Builder: SilverYachts
Length: 35.9m
This volumed-packed cat garnered much attention earlier this year, when she starred in season three of HBO's The White Lotus. Renowned designer Espen Øino is behind her design (which he previously described as a "bold undertaking"), with modern, polished living spaces by Pulina Exclusive Interiors. Three decks and more than 534 square metres of living space house accommodation for eight guests and an aft deck with chic bar and 5.5-metre pool – a rarity in this size bracket.
SpaceCat is asking $18,800,000 with Burgess and IYC.
Bravado
Builder: Abeking & Rasmussen
Length: 44.9m
Bravado is a robust steel-hulled yacht that "combines German engineering excellence with sophisticated design and modern amenities". Leisure amenities span a well-appointed sundeck (complete with Jacuzzi and dining), a full-beam owner's suite with private gym and modern, laid-back interiors by Italian designer Bizzozero/Cassina. British studio Reymond Langton is behind her classic lines and striking blue hull.
Bravado is asking €16,500,000 with Fraser.
