With the 29th Annual Yachts Miami Beach, a slew of imposing superyachts have been swarming Miami marinas of late, including the 236-foot Axioma , which has been in town for at least a month now and has a history of hosting Celebrity clientele, including members of the Kardashian clan.

Axioma will be the largest superyacht at Yachts Miami Beach , which takes place from Thursday through the weekend on Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, across from the Eden Roc and Fontainebleau hotels.

Let us introduce the five largest superyachts at this year’s event, led by Axioma. All are currently docked at the Island Gardens Deep Harbour on Watson Island, just off the McArthur Causeway en route to Miami Beach.

9 Must-See Yachts Debuting at the Miami International Boat Show

From a $355-million gigayacht, the largest-ever at a north american show, to a record-breaking electric runabout, this year's mibs has something for every mariner..

• Share This Article

Five days, six separate locations and more than 1,000 boats of all shapes and sizes on display—the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show is on track to live up to its claim of being the largest boat and yacht show in the world. The show this year will have more available products, largely because the red-hot Covid market from last year has cooled.

“The manufacturers have caught up with product,” Andrew Doole, president of the US Boat Shows for Informa, told Robb Report . “As a result, we’ll see many new boats making their debuts in the convention center and also exceptional superyachts at Island Gardens.”

The show will kick off next Wednesday for its five-day run. Attendance at another recent Informa boat show was higher than last year, says Doole, giving him optimism that Miami will also outperform 2022.

Here are six newcomers, and two gigayachts new to the brokerage market, that promise to be showstoppers.

Lürssen ‘Ahpo’

Lürssen’s 378-foot Ahpo will be the largest gigayacht ever at any North American boat show. Delivered to its owner last year, but now up for sale for $355 million, the yacht has a wonderland interior that includes Asian-influenced designs, including silk wallpaper, hand embroidery and elaborate inlays of flying flamingoes, ginkgo leaves and red maple trees. Even the onboard IMAX Dolby cinema has twinkling LED stars in the ceiling. Designer Nuvolari Lenard also created a dedicated space catering to the multigenerational family, with a split-level suite for the owners, adjoining cabins for their children and parents and total accommodations for up to 16 guests. The mosaic-tiled spa sits at the heart of its outstanding wellness area, but also the yacht also has four pools of various sizes and a standout beach club. It will be moored in the Island Gardens marina.

Lürssen ‘Kismet’

Another superstar of this year’s Miami boat show is the spectacular 312-foot Lürssen-built megayacht, Kismet . Owned by Pakistani-American billionaire and sports lover Shahid Khan – he owns both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Britain’s Fulham soccer club – the yacht will be open for tours to a highly select few at the show’s SuperYacht Miami location. With a brand-new Lürssen, currently codenamed Project JAG and designed by Nuvolari Lenard, due to be completed for Mr. Khan later this year, Kismet is reportedly up for grabs for an eye-watering $181 million. 

Lürssen Marguerite

Delivered in 2004, the 200-foot Marguerite (ex. Avanti, Aurora, Phoenix) was designed by Andrew Winch, with a classic interior and art-deco interior by Winch and Dawn Moffitt Design Inc. The superyacht, built by German yard Lürssen, was designed as a true oceangoing vessel, having the ability to be self-sufficient for 30 days. Beyond that, the owners also mandated that it be comfortable in all sea states. It’s listed for $48 million.

Absolute 52 Fly

In urban slang, the word Fly tends to mean cool, sexy, smart or stylish. That kind of describes to a tee Italian builder Absolute Yachts’ brand new 52 Fly flybridge cruiser making its world premiere in the Magic City. With its extensive hull and superstructure glazing—there’s almost as much glass as fiberglass—the interior spaces are flooded with light. And talking of interior, this new 52—bow to stern it’s actually 54 feet—shakes things up by putting its huge master suite in the bow with the VIP amidships. Power comes from a pair of 590 hp Volvo D8 diesels.

Tiara EX 60

Holland, Michigan-based Tiara Yachts just might have a new motto: “Go big, or go home”. At the Miami show they’re pulling the wraps off a brand new flagship—the 60-foot EX 60—which is the biggest, most luxurious Tiara to date. And with a sticker that starts at around $3.7 million, it’s also the priciest. But this newest EX has a lot to offer, including its major focus on outdoor space. If that stern cockpit wasn’t wide enough at 16 feet 11 inches, power-lowering side terraces expand the area to an impressive 20 feet six inches. Power is provided by twin 1350 Volvo D13 diesels that give an impressive 46 mph top speed.

Grady-White 281 Coastal Explorer

When fishing boat powerhouse Grady-White unveils a new boat, anglers the world over pay attention. For the Miami show, the 64-year-old Greenville, NC builder is unveiling its brand new 28-foot 281 Coastal Explorer center console. Designed for both inshore skinny waters as well as offshore swells, the 281 features Grady’s proven SeaV2 wave-cleaving deep-vee hull design. Fisherman-friendly features include a battle-ready casting deck in the bow with low gunwales, and an electric fold-down terrace on the portside of the helm for hauling in that giant grouper. Standard power is a single 425 hp Yamaha outboard, with the option of twin 300s.

Call it a true multi-national. Hylas Yachts’ new M49 is being built in Taiwan from a design by a New Zealand studio, to compete in the booming market for New England-style Down East cruisers. Big brother to the highly-successful Hylas M44, this salty 48-footer blends speedy performance—as in a 36 mph top speed—with exceptional rough-weather, offshore capability. Inside, the M49 features a comfy saloon under that big-windowed hardtop, with a spacious open rear “lounge” for entertaining. Trusty 370 hp Yanmar diesels do the powering. Hylas had hoped to debut the M49 two years ago, but Covid stalled the plan. Now, after a few improvements, it’s finally getting its show premiere.

Voltari 260

Think of it as proving a point. Typically, this new, Canadian-built, all-electric Voltari 260, with its high-torque, 700 hp motor, can slice through waves at a feisty 60 mph. But to set a record for the longest overseas distance for an electric “vehicle” completed on a single charge, the $450,000 Voltari had to dial things back. To a more leisurely 5 mph. That is how this stealthy-looking, carbon-fiber runabout recently ran from Key Largo, Florida across the turbulent Gulf Stream to Bimini in the Bahamas—91 miles door to door—in under 20 hours. It’ll be back in full performance mode for its Miami show debut as a poster child for electromobility on the water.

Leopard 40PC

South Africa’s Leopard Catamarans has a hard-to-resist “try before you buy” offer on its brand new Leopard 40PC power cat that’s making its global debut in Miami. Thanks to close ties with The Moorings charter company, potential buyers can simply rent one, for a week, maybe two, maybe longer. And it should be a blast. With the option of twin 370 hp diesels, the 40PC—or Moorings 403 PC as the charter version is called—can hit a top speed of 23 mph. This new kid brother to Leopard’s bigger 46 PC and 53 PC models has space for six in three cabins and the largest flybridge ever seen on a 40-foot power cat.

Meet Victorious, the Largest Yacht in Miami

If you’re in Miami, you may want to take a look at Victorious , at 278 feet and 11 inches long the largest boat in the boat show there. It’s over at the superyacht show on Watson Island, where tickets go for $135, but it takes up so much waterfront you can see it easily from Miami.

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it, but Victorious is for sale for $129 million. (It’s been on the charter market for $950,000 a week.)

Even as one of the world’s largest superyacht, Victorious is a bit over the top. It has a helipad on the foredeck that doubles as a dance floor, three swimming pools, an owner’s suite on the bridge deck with its own Jacuzzi and sun lounges, a gym, wellness center, wine cellar, two wood-burning fireplaces, a beauty salon, several bars, a beach club, and a small armada of tenders that includes a custom 41-foot aluminum cat and a 38-foot Fountain.

The accommodations include room for 24 guests in 12 staterooms, but the best room in the house seems to be the sky lounge up top, an observation lounge with wraparound views, a baby grand piano, a formal dining room and a smaller lounge with a bar.

All this is powered by twin 1,475-hp Cats, delivering a top speed of 17 knots. The yacht has an amazing range of 14,000 nm at 13 knots (fuel capacity: 69,847 gallons).

And Victorious comes with an unusual back story. It started out at Marco Yachts in Chile under the name Gin Tonic II , but the owner ran out of money. Graeme Hunt bought it unfinished and had it towed to New Zealand. Then Vural Ak, a Turkish entrepreneur who owns the racetrack for the Turkish Formula 1 Grand Prix, bought it half completed from Hunt in 2016 and had it towed to Turkey. The Turkish yard Akyacht finally launched it in 2021; it won the prize for Motor Yacht Over 80 Meters at The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2022.

Riding The Wave: Largest Yachts at 2022 Miami Boat Show

By Heather Collier

In just a matter of days, Miami will be at the centre of the world stage once again for its annual International Boat Show. After its cancellation due to the ongoing global health crisis, Informa Market have announced that the event will now lie in situ with the Miami Yacht Show.

2022 will see its first ever collaborative show, where visitors will have over 1,000 exhibitors and hundreds of exciting interactive experiences to choose from over the course of the five-day extravaganza. “We are thrilled to offer our guests the largest boating and yachting event in the world, right here in Miami where it all began over 80 years ago,” said Andrew Doole, President of U.S. Boat Shows for Informa Markets.

Historically, the Miami International Boat Show and Miami Yacht Show has continued to be a major marine event in Greater Miami and Miami Beach, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to South Florida and generating an estimated combined annual economic impact of $1.34 billion.

Hosted predominantly in the stunning Biscayne Bay and Miami Beach Convention Centre, the show is back and bigger than ever. If you want to explore the event in ultimate style, you’ll be able to indulge in a collection of experiential boating lifestyle activations, entertainment, innovative cuisine, special activity zones, and a marine accessory pavilion. Additional venues for the show in Miami Beach include Pride Park, across the street from the Convention Centre, as well as One Herald Plaza, Island Gardens Deep and Harbour Sea Isle Marina.

One of the main spectacles that cannot be missed is the world-renowned SuperYacht Miami which showcases the largest vessels on display at the show. Dedicated exclusively to the largest and most opulent yachts, Superyacht Miami provides an unparalleled luxury experience, providing each guest with the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the most luxurious world-class superyachts, including some exciting debuts from around the globe.

Some of the superyachts attending are Damen Yachting’s 55M Gene Chaser, 55M Gene Machine and IYC’S 50M Thunder. 

Gene Chaser and Gene Machine

Gene Chaser and Gene Machine, dubbed the “floating laboratories”, were revealed to have been built specifically for specialist scientists to undergo ground-breaking research. As Dr Jonathan Rothberg puts it, “to feed, fuel, and heal the world.”

It’s easy to spot Gene Chaser   with its signature axe bow, large open deck and eye-catching symbols that mirror the nameplate on the side of Gene Machine. With their custom fleet colours, both vessels boast a stunning combination of design, technology, and science, and ultimately a huge milestone for Damen’s portfolio.

IYC’s Thunder more than lives up to its name. This impressive jet-powered superyacht built in Australia by Oceanfast was commissioned by iconic Italian designer Robert Cavalli and refuses to shy away from flamboyance.  “She’s now in amazing condition and ready for her next adventures,” says Mark Elliott, broker with IYC which has just listed her for sale at $8.8 million. With a surreal Alice in Wonderland interior, each guest will feel as mad as a hatter as they teeter on the edge of fantasy.

Cloud Yachts' NFT Superyachts

But that’s not all – this year’s show continues to welcome new twists and turns as Cloud Yachts has announced it is releasing a collection of NFT yachts exclusively for the show. Cloud Yachts, a digital yacht dealer, has joined forces with the world’s top superyacht designers to release NFT art collections. Contributing designers include Bannenberg & Rowell, Gregory C. Marshall, David Weiss, and Marco Casali.

Zach Mandelstein first founded Cloud Yachts in the heart of Silicon Valley and has been recognised as the first ever digital yacht dealer in the metaverse. Cloud Yachts will be releasing a limited series of 125 of NFTs which are expected to be rapidly snatched off the market.

NFT (non-fungible tokens) art, contain individual digital identifiers that cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided; an NFT is recorded on a blockchain, which is used to certify the authenticity and ownership of a specific digital asset. In terms of character, each yacht is guaranteed to unlike any other in the world.

With Burgess’ recent sale of their 40.2M Benetti motor yacht ORYX, bought entirely using BitPay, it comes as no surprise that cryptocurrency and new technology are barging their way to the forefront and beginning to transform the future of the yachting industry.

After partnering with premium brands, owners of Cloud Yachts NFTs will be pleased to know that they will receive VIP access to exclusive events in the superyacht community including yacht shows, super yacht parties and other world-class benefits that ordinarily would not be possible without making such a purchase.

Additionally, a 63M new-build project will also be available for purchase as an NFT. Award-winning naval architect Gregory Marshall is pioneering the project, making it the first NFT superyacht priced at around 95 million USD or 30,148 ETH. Each client will be able to customise their superyacht to their own desires in the metaverse using the first-of-its-kind augmented reality technology.

Informa Market has proven its aims to capture a balance of opulence and grandiosity, whilst also demonstrating the monumental scientific and humanitarian projects that can be achieved onboard the likes of Gene Chaser and Gene Machine, along with ground-breaking new technologies that are reshaping the future of deals and partnerships.

If one thing is for certain, Miami is committed to evolving with the times.

The 2022 Miami International Boat Show will take place between the 16th and 20th of February. We look forward to its unveiling.

"“We are thrilled to offer our guests the largest boating and yachting event in the world, right here in Miami where it all began over 80 years ago.”" Andrew Doole, President of U.S. Boat Shows for Informa Markets.

Discover Miami’s Majestic Marinas: A Guide to the Largest Yacht Ports in the Magic City

From its picturesque shores to its bustling ports, Miami has long been recognized as a hub for maritime enthusiasts. But how did this sun-soaked city become a global yachting capital? This journey takes us from Miami’s humble beginnings to its current status as a beacon for yachting fans and marine sustainability advocates alike. As you embark on this voyage through time, you’ll discover the magic of Miami’s ports and marinas and perhaps find inspiration for your next maritime adventure with Luxury Miami Yachts.

• History and Evolution: How Miami Became a Yachting Paradise

Miami’s transformation into a yachting paradise is a tale of vision, ambition, and strategic development. Once a quiet coastal town, Miami’s geographical location, sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the vast expanse of the Everglades, made it an ideal locale for maritime activities.

In the early 20th century, Miami was already a bustling hub for trade, with ships ferrying goods from the Caribbean and South America. The city’s founders, recognizing the potential of its pristine waters and strategic location, made significant investments in maritime infrastructure. This laid the groundwork for what would become a booming yachting industry.

The post-war boom of the 1950s and 1960s saw an influx of tourists and celebrities to Miami’s shores. With this came a demand for luxury services, including private yachting. Recognizing this trend, developers and entrepreneurs invested heavily in marinas, yacht clubs, and other related services.

However, it wasn’t just about luxury. Miami’s community recognized the need for sustainable yachting practices. This foresight led to regulations that ensured marine biodiversity and water quality were maintained. As a result, Miami’s waters remained pristine, further attracting yacht enthusiasts.

Today, Miami’s rich yachting history is evident in its numerous marinas, yacht festivals, and the countless vessels that dot its skyline. The city has seamlessly blended luxury with sustainability, making it a beacon for yachting fans worldwide.

• Port Miami: The Giant of South Florida and its Impact on the Nautical World

Port Miami stands as a testament to human ingenuity and vision. Widely regarded as the “Cruise Capital of the World,” it’s not just cruise ships that have found a home here, but yachts of all sizes.

The port’s story began in the early 1900s when trade ships became a common sight. However, it was the post-war era that marked the port’s ascendancy. With increased global trade and the rise of Miami as a luxury destination, there was a need for a sophisticated port to handle the influx.

To meet these demands, Port Miami underwent extensive expansions. Dredging projects ensured that even the largest superyachts could dock with ease. Advanced navigational aids and state-of-the-art facilities made it a preferred destination for yacht owners worldwide.

However, Port Miami’s influence isn’t just limited to its docks. It has spurred economic growth in the region, with numerous businesses, from fine dining restaurants to luxury boutiques, cropping up to cater to the discerning yacht crowd.

Today, the port is a hub of activity, influencing global yachting trends and serving as a model for ports worldwide. Its blend of efficiency, luxury, and sustainability is a hallmark of its success.

• Marina Bay: Exclusive Services and Highlighted Events at this Port

Marina Bay is synonymous with luxury yachting in Miami. Situated in a strategic location, this marina offers an experience that few others can match.

From its inception, Marina Bay was envisioned as more than just a docking space. It was to be a haven for yacht enthusiasts, offering services that catered to every whim and fancy. This vision has been realized over the years, with the marina boasting amenities that are second to none. From top-tier maintenance facilities to exclusive clubs and lounges, Marina Bay is in a league of its own.

But it’s not just about luxury. The marina has carved a niche for itself by hosting exclusive maritime events. These events, ranging from yacht exhibitions to marine conservation seminars, attract visitors from all corners of the globe.

Furthermore, the marina’s focus on sustainability sets it apart. Eco-friendly practices, from waste management to water conservation, are the norm here, ensuring that Miami’s waters remain pristine for future generations.

• The Experience at Miami Beach Marina: From Nearby Restaurants to Tourist Activities

Nestled amidst the vibrant cityscape of Miami lies the Miami Beach Marina, a blend of urban allure and maritime serenity. For many yacht owners and marine enthusiasts, this marina isn’t just a docking spot but a gateway to Miami’s rich tapestry of experiences.

One of the standout aspects of Miami Beach Marina is its proximity to a diverse gastronomic landscape. As yachts dock, visitors are mere steps away from a culinary journey that spans the globe. From authentic Cuban cafeterias serving hearty classics to upscale restaurants offering gourmet delights, the choices are as vast as they are delicious. This interplay of cuisine adds a unique flavor to the marina, ensuring that every visit is tinged with anticipation for the next delightful meal.

But food is just the tip of the iceberg. The marina’s location offers easy access to some of Miami Beach’s most iconic landmarks. The Art Deco Historic District, with its pastel-colored buildings and vintage charm, is a must-visit. It’s a delightful juxtaposition of Miami’s historical past against the contemporary luxury of yachting. Then, there’s the South Pointe Park, a serene spot that offers panoramic views of the city and the ocean, making it a favorite among both locals and tourists.

• Sustainable Strategies: How Miami’s Ports are Adopting Ecological Practices to Protect the Ocean

As Miami’s reputation as a global yachting hub has grown, so has its responsibility towards ensuring the sustainability of its marine practices. Recognizing the potential environmental impact of the maritime industry, Miami’s ports have taken proactive steps to minimize their ecological footprint.

A cornerstone of this initiative is waste management. Ports across Miami have implemented stringent waste disposal practices, ensuring that pollutants don’t find their way into the ocean. Specialized waste collection vessels, along with facilities to treat and dispose of waste safely, are now a common sight.

But sustainability isn’t just about waste management. It’s also about educating and informing. To this end, Miami’s ports regularly organize seminars and workshops focused on marine conservation. These events aim to sensitize yacht owners, crew, and visitors about the importance of sustainable practices and the role they can play in ensuring the health of the oceans.

Furthermore, there’s a push towards utilizing clean energy. Solar panels, wind turbines, and other green energy sources are being integrated into port operations. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions and pave the way for a cleaner, greener future.

Collaboration is key to the success of these initiatives. Miami’s ports work in tandem with environmental agencies, conservation experts, and the community. It’s a collective effort aimed at preserving the beauty and vitality of Miami’s waters for generations to come.

Conclusion :

Miami’s metamorphosis into a global yachting paradise is no accident. It’s the product of visionary minds, strategic investments, and a commitment to sustainable maritime practices. Today, the city stands as a testament to what can be achieved when luxury, sustainability, and community come together. For those inspired by Miami’s maritime legacy, the journey is just beginning.

Jeff Bezos' multi-million dollar yacht, Koru, docks at Port Everglades

According to boat international, the koru is the world’s largest sailing yacht, and reportedly cost an estimated $500 million to build, by monica galarza • published november 28, 2023 • updated on november 29, 2023 at 12:37 pm.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' massive yacht has officially dropped anchor in Port Everglades.

Video captured by NBC6 shows the enormous 417-foot yacht docked in Port Everglades Tuesday weeks after the billionaire announced he was moving back to the Sunshine State, after spending nearly three decades in Seattle.

📺 24/7 South Florida news stream: Watch NBC6 free wherever you are

According to Boat International , the Koru is the world’s largest sailing yacht, and reportedly cost an estimated $500 million to build.

Bezos stepped down as the CEO of Amazon almost three years ago and said in a social media post that operations for his rocket company, Blue Origin, are “increasingly shifting” to Cape Canaveral, which is about 200 miles north of Miami.

Coincidentally, on Tuesday, an Amazon spokesperson confirmed to NBC6 that the company is searching for 50,000 square feet of leased office space in the Miami area as part of its organic growth over the past few years in the region.

Amazon currently has more than 400 corporate and tech employees assigned to our existing serviced office locations in the Miami area, but this office space would first base location in the city.

In October, Bloomberg News reported that Bezos had purchased a mansion in the area known as “Billionaire Bunker” for $79 million, after buying a neighboring estate for $68 million.

Seattle has been Bezos' home since 1994 when he started Amazon out of his garage.

Top Ten Largest Yachts in the World 2024

• Top Ten Largest Yachts in…

Luxury and opulence take a concrete form when discussing the world’s largest yachts. With helipads, spas, onboard swimming pools, cinemas, and more, the world’s largest yachts can easily outshine your glamorous five-star hotels. But all of these yachts are more than just an emblem of wealth; these vessels are feats in expert engineering and design. Only a select few shipyards, designers, and naval architects worldwide can take up the challenge of this magnitude.

Now that we are here let’s look at some of the largest yachts of 2024. Even though the largest yacht is more accurately determined by its displacement and volume, today, we will be looking at the top ten largest vessels by length.

10. El Mahrousa We start the list with a name that has been here for more than a century. Launched in 1865, the Samuda Brothers originally built this 145.72 meter-long yacht for Khedive Ismail, the Ottoman governor of Egypt. The name El Mahrousa roughly translates to “The Protected,” but she was also briefly called El Horreya (translated to the word “Freedom”). Her external features were designed by renowned British naval architect Sir Oliver Lang who had previously created some of the finest British navy ships in the 19th century. This Egyptian presidential yacht has a rich history and has undergone several refurbishments. It is one of the oldest active superyachts and is tended for by the Egyptian navy. She rarely leaves her home berth in Alexandria apart from special occasions two to three times each year. Regarding her specs, her top speed is 16 knots, and her cruising speed is around 10 knots. She obtains her power from three Parsons steam turbine engines, a gross tonnage of 4560.0 GT, and a 12.98 m beam. This vessel was also the first ship ever to cross the Suez Canal back in 1869 and has now been transformed into a naval training ship for the Egyptian government. 9. A+ Formerly known as Topaz, A+ was launched by Lürssen in 2012, a titan in the yacht building industry at an incredible 147.25 meters in length. This yacht belongs to Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, Emirati royalty, deputy prime minister of the UAE, and the Manchester City Football Club owner. She has some of the most exquisite Disdale exterior designs and magnificent interiors crafted by the famed Tim Heywood Design. She can also accommodate up to 62 guests and 79 crew members in her spacious interiors. It is also reported that A+ took about four years and more than £400 million to be built. Her top speed is 22.9 knots, and she has a cruising speed of 19.5 knots, which is impressive considering her size. Her power comes from four MTU diesel engines with a gross tonnage of 12500.0 GT and a 21.5 m beam. Like most yachts owned by royals, not much is disclosed to the public apart from the primary features, but this yacht has earned its spot on the top ten list. 8. Al Said Another mega yacht from the Lürssen yard, Al Said, is a 155-meter motor yacht launched in 2008. Her stylish exterior was designed by Espen Øino International, while Redman Whitely Dixon crafted her magnificent interior. Formerly codenamed “Project Sunflower,” this work of art belongs to one of the richest men in the world, Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said of Oman, and was created as a replacement for a smaller mega yacht with the same name. This yacht also has a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure with a 5.20-meter draft and a beam of 24 meters. With the help of 2 MTU engines, she achieves a cruising speed of 22 knots and obtains a top speed of 25 knots. Even though not much is revealed regarding the yacht’s interior, she is known to accommodate up to 70 guests and 154 professional crew members. She features a concert room that can easily accommodate a 50-piece orchestra. 7. Dilbar Dilbar may not rank number one in length, but it is the largest by interior volume and gross tonnage. Formerly known as “Project Omar,” this yacht with a length of 156 meters was launched in 2016 from the yards of German builder Lurssen. This yacht obtained its name from Uzbekistan-born billionaire Alisher Usmanov’s late mother. Espen Øino International designed the yacht’s exterior, while her interior was developed by the Winch Design team, known for using rare and exclusive luxury materials. This yacht has also been dubbed one of the most intricate and challenging yachts ever built, both in terms of dimensions and technology. She has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, can attain a top speed of approximately 22.5 knots and has features never seen before on a yacht. Some include a 25-meter swimming pool that retains an astonishing 180 m³ of water, an expansive garden, and two helipads. She also can accommodate up to 24 guests and a whopping 100 crew members. 6. Dubai Originally commissioned by Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei, this boat sits comfortably on the top ten largest yachts. This ambitious project took more than ten years to launch. Even though this yacht was launched by Platinum Yachts, it was initially a joint project between Blohm + Voss and Lurssen shipyards but was abandoned in 1998. The vessel now belongs to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai. This yacht has exceptional interiors, from bold colors and fine linen to intricate and detailed mosaic work. The showstopper of the entire yacht is the dramatic circular staircase that features glass stairs and changes colors. She also has a striking mosaic swimming pool, seven decks and multiple jacuzzis, discos, a submarine, and a helipad that accommodates 9.5 tonnes. This 162-meter yacht developed by Andrew Winch of Winch Design is powered by four MTU-20V diesel and has a speed of 25 knots, and has a displacement of 9,150 tonnes. 5. Eclipse Manufactured at the Blohm + Voss Hamburg shipyard in Germany, Eclipse made a splash in 2010. The construction of this 162.5-meter superyacht had been kept under wraps, increasing the excitement and speculations from international media and yacht enthusiasts alike. Created for Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, this yacht can accommodate 36 guests in 18 cabins and cater to 70 crew members. Although many details are still unknown regarding this yacht, we know that her exterior and interior features were developed by the London team at Terence Disdale Design. She is also filled with luxurious amenities, such as the two swimming pools, one of which is 16 meters long and with a feature of adjustable depth, allowing it to transform into a dance floor. It also includes an exterior fireplace, the ability to carry up to three helicopters, and more. With four MTU diesel engines, she has a top speed of 25 knots and an approximate cruising speed of 22 knots. 4. Fulk Al Salamah Custom created by Italian builder Mariotti Yachts in their Genoa shipyard, this 164-meter-long superyacht debuted in 2016. The Fulk Al Salmah remains shrouded in mystery as there is barely any information apart from the essential details. Owned by the Omani Royal family, this ship’s exterior was crafted by the renowned Studio de Jorio. She has a steel hull with a steel/aluminum superstructure and a deck made out of aluminum & teak. 3. Azzam Azzam has been one of the largest privately-owned superyachts since 2013. At an incredible length of 180.6 meters when Lurssen first introduced it, it creator of some of the largest luxury yachts in history. Under the guidance of engineer Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi, a world-class team worked on developing this magnificent project. The goal was to build a luxurious, large yacht that exuded the aura of timeless elegance and innovation. It should also be able to travel at full speed in warm and shallow waters without altering guests’ experience. Despite her size, she has an unprecedented top speed of around 31.5 knots because of the gas turbine engines that work at 94,000 horsepower. She was also built in merely three years, adding to the record of one of the quickest-built mega yachts. The yacht’s exterior design is a work of Nauta Design, while Christophe Leoni expertly designed the interiors. Azzam belongs to the Sheikh of the United Arab Emirates. Although many details remain under wraps, this superyacht is a milestone in yachting history. 2. REV This yacht will soon become one of the largest yachts in history, beating the previous holder of the number one position by merely two meters, standing at 182 meters. This yacht collaborates with Espen Øino and REV Ocean (Research Expedition Vessel), a not-for-profit organization established by Norwegian billionaire Kjell Inge Rokke. She was created keeping in mind the highest standards for fuel efficiency, pollution, and environmental impact. She is presently under construction at the Norwegian shipyard VARD and is scheduled for delivery in 2024. This yacht is no ordinary yacht as with a heat recovery system, sound and vibration reduction, diesel-electric engines, high tech incinerators, and a ballast water treatment system, this vessel plans on complying with IMO Polar Code, which requires a vessel to operate for 114 days in Arctic and Antarctic Condition autonomously. She is also powered by ultra-quiet hybrid propulsion and will have a top speed of 17 knots and an exceptional 21,120 nautical mile range. Although there has been much debate regarding classifying it as a superyacht, its initial purpose is to study the ocean. It is also available for charter for recreational purposes as it has space for 28 guests in its 18 cabins. 1. Somnio Seizing the number one spot is the world’s first ‘yacht-liner.’ Even though it will be launched in mid-2024, there is much excitement in the superyacht community. When launched, she will become one of the world’s largest superyachts, measuring an astounding 222m. Somnio is technically a combination of a superyacht, cruise ship, and residential home and is referred to as a ‘yacht liner. This vessel is to have 30 luxury private residences, all of which are invite-only, and the reported price of apartments reportedly costs at least $11.2 million. Scheduled to be delivered by Vard Søviknes in Norway, she is a part of Italy’s world-renowned Fincantieri Group. Even though we do not have much information, it is known that the exterior was solely created by Winch Design, whereas both Winch and Tillberg developed the interior.
