Owners, industry experts and yachting enthusiasts are preparing to set sail for this year's Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS), running from 25 to 29 March 2026. With a month to go, BOAT takes a closer look at some of the largest (and coolest) yachts on the lineup so far – including yachts for sale, superyachts for charter and new yachts making their debut...
Rocinante

Length: 78.4m
Builder: Lürssen
Year: 2008
Taking the top spot at this year's PBIBS is the 78.4-metre Rocinante. This German-built motor yacht hit the water in 2008 to become one of the top 10 largest yachts delivered from the shipyard at the time. Now, Rocinante remains recognisable for her classy grey and white profile from Espen Øino International, paired with her Alberto Pinto interiors, which favour a sophisticated, contemporary scheme. Visitors to the show may enjoy a peek inside her onboard hospital, cinema or her lengthy sundeck with its large jetstream pool and jacuzzi, though her lower deck gym, hammam, massage room and beauty salon are a must-see. It's a happy coincidence that she's also now on the market, asking €88,500,000 with Y.CO.

Length: 74m
Builder: Amels
Year: 2018
The latest Casino Royale will be joining the lineup this year, one year after the 72-metre Tankoa yacht, also named Casino Royale, was on display in 2025. The 74-metre build stands as "one of the most successful designs in the Amels Limited Editions series", according to her builders. She was launched in 2018 as one of the later units in the Amels 242 line, with an exterior by Tim Heywood and interiors by Winch Design. The yacht offers accommodation for up to 12 guests across six suites, featuring a dedicated owner's deck with a foredeck Jacuzzi. Elsewhere, the 180-square-metre party area on the main deck aft comes across as another highlight, with its dance floor, bar and 6.5-metre infinity pool.
Amor à Vida
Length: 67.6m
Builder: CRN
Year: 2025
Amor à Vida is the brainchild of CRN and Nuvolari Lenard, with the Italian designer penning both her exterior styling and interior design. The full-custom superyacht was launched in May last year, showcasing her elongated windows, six decks and taut, powerful profile. Though onboard highlights include "made-to-measure" interiors, a large beach club and expansive lounges, Amor à Vida drew attention at her launch as the first superyacht from CRN to be fitted with a state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion system and a dedicated heat recovery system. Valentina Zannier, known for her work on the 115.1-metre Ahpo, also collaborated on the interiors.
Alchemist

Length: 62m
Builder: Sanlorenzo
Year: 2022
The 62-metre Alchemist was listed for sale in January this year for the first time since her 2022 delivery as the second unit from the Italian shipyard's 62Steel series. Penned throughout by Officina Italiana Design, the yacht is host to a sophisticated and highly functional interior, with a number of her onboard living areas configured for open-air enjoyment from day to night. Visitors will enjoy her bright and open plan main saloon with warm leather accents, as well as her lower deck beach club with its generous interior lounge and bar, side fold-out platforms and wellness centre with hammam, treatment room and gym. Alchemist is for sale with Cecil Wright and Zarpo Yachts.

Length: 56m
Builder: Perini Navi
Year: 2004
The highly successful sailing ketch Zenji is set to turn heads at the 2026 PBIBS, not just as one of the largest yachts on display, but as the largest sailing superyacht in attendance. Designed in-house by the Italian shipyard, the 56-metre is famed for her Ron Holland sailing performance and "motor yacht level comfort", which makes her equally as suited for deep-water passages as for shallow cruising destinations. Fresh from a 2024-2025 refit (with works including an engine overhaul, new sails and rigging upgrades), Zenji offers up to 14 guests accommodation in six marble-decorated cabins, a flybridge Jacuzzi and generous living areas, both inside and out. Zenji is listed for sale with Edmiston.
Double Haven
Length: 51m
Builder: Feadship
Year: 1993
As one of the more classic builds from Dutch shipyard Feadship, Double Haven will attract passersby for her tall white decks, curved, slender lines and helipad perched atop her profile. The yacht was a result of a collaboration between Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects and Glade Johnson, who opted for clever interior solutions decorated in a cool, patterned colour scheme. Notably voluminous for her size, a standout of Double Haven can be found to aft, where her deck transforms from a tender bay into a watersports activity centre. Meanwhile, her upper deck stands as a self-contained apartment with a balcony and private lounge. Double Haven is on the market with Feadship Resale.
Felicità

Length: 49.9m
Builder: Overmarine Group
Year: 2025
Felicità was launched in June last year as the fifth unit from Mangusta's Oceano 50 series – the flagship model from the drawing boards of Italian designers Alberto Mancini and Pierluigi Ausonio. Following her launch, eyes were drawn to her "expansive" beach club, which opens on three sides and contains a blue marble and mosaic-tiled Hammam. Visitors on board will also enjoy her contemporary, nautical-inspired design, her large glass-fronted, rectangular Jacuzzi pool forward on the sundeck and her "oversized" and well-equipped gymnasium. Felicità is on the market with Cecil Wright.
Ela

Length: 49.8m
Builder: Heesen Yachts
Year: 2021
Ela was born from the Dutch shipyard's Nova Plus design and engineering platform, built with a Fast Displacement Hull Form dubbed "arguably the most efficient hull in her class". Van Oossanen Naval Architects, Omega Architects and Cristiano Gatto were behind the 49.8-metre's design, creating Heesen's fourth aluminium 50 metre new build. Ela is set apart by the large amount of structural glass across her exterior alongside her mirrored window mullions, which provide light interiors while seeming almost invisible so as not to disturb her profile. Ela is on the market with Ocean Independence and Fraser.

Length: 49.5m
Builder: Mondomarine
Year: 2006
The 49.5-metre Oceanos is a high-volume aluminium superyacht from the sheds of Italian shipyard Mondomarine. An all-Italian collaboration, Studio Vafiadis was responsible for her bright exterior and interior designs, while naval architecture was from the drawing boards of Sergio Cutolo. Inside, Oceanos is decorated in Mediterranean-inspired woods, marbles and textiles, with accommodation provided for up to 16 guests across seven cabins. Exterior spaces include several entertainment hubs, al fresco dining spaces and a sundeck with a wet bar, Jacuzzi and seating for 24. The yacht also benefits from zero-speed stabilisers, an extended swim platform and a wide range of water toys. Extensively refitted between 2020 and 2022, Oceanos is on the market with IYC.

Length: 47.9m
Builder: Christensen
Year: 2007
Lady Joy was delivered in 2007 from Christensen’s popular 157’ series. The 47.9-metre features interiors by Carol Williamson and accommodates 14 guests in six cabins, including a main-deck master suite with a steam shower. Social spaces include a main saloon with lounge seating, a piano, a wide-screen TV and karaoke system and a formal dining area seating 12. The skylounge offers further entertainment with a home theatre and bar, while the aft bridge deck is host to al fresco dining and a new sunshade. Up top, visitors will enjoy the sundeck, which hosts a six-person Jacuzzi, bar, electric barbecue and generous seating. Lady Joy is for sale with Worth Avenue Yachts.
Mystique

Length: 46.6m
Builder: Feadship
Year: 2001
An in-house exterior design by De Voogt Naval Architects and an interior designed by John Munford brought the 46.6-metre Mystique to life. The motor yacht hit the water in 2001, unveiling her seamless indoor-outdoor living areas, Jacuzzi-clad sundeck and interiors adorned in warm gloss woods, rich leathers and neutral soft furnishings. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in a five-cabin layout, including two full-beam cabins - one an expansive owner's king suite on the main deck (complete with a large en suite with a central shower and bathtub), and the other a VIP queen-sized suite on the deck below. Mystique is listed for sale with IYC.
Excellence V

Length: 46.2m
Builder: Feadship
Year: 2014
Feadship’s 46.2-metre Excellence V recently joined the market following an extensive 2024 refit, which included zero-hour rebuilds of her generators, a new sewage treatment plant, refreshed sundeck furniture and completion of her 10-year Lloyd’s survey. Constructed in aluminium with naval architecture by Dubois Naval Architects, and a near-vertical bow design by Ed Dubois himself, she combines classic Dutch craftsmanship with contemporary interiors by British studio RWD. Highlights include innovative rotating seating in the main saloon and a bar that extends onto the aft deck. Outside, her versatile sundeck allows al fresco dining and lounging in fully open or semi-enclosed, air-conditioned spaces, complemented by an aft deck lounge and swim platform. Excellence V is listed for sale with Edmiston.
Oceanic 143

Length: 43.5m
Builder: Canados
Year: 2023
Winner of the "Best Naval Architecture - Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts" at the 2024 BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards, Oceanic 143 is praised for her twin-stepped hull, bulbous bow and shallow draught specifically designed to reduce friction. With the qualities of both a semi-displacement and long-range explorer, the 43.5-metre is a worthy flagship yacht of Italian yard Canados. Her main features include the private owner's deck (which makes up the entire upper deck), an impressive, 130-square-metre aft deck and the six-person Hammam located within the central mast. Accommodation is for up to 10 guests in five cabins. Oceanic 143 is on the market with IYC and Worth Avenue Yachts.
