The 50 most expensive yachts for sale now

Builder: Lürssen
Length: 114.5m
Designers: Tim Heywood, Terence Disdale

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.

Delivered in 2020, Atomic was commissioned by an avid scuba diver and accommodates a professional dive centre accessed via a folding balcony on her hull. Another standout feature is a coral-coloured mosaic pool on her sundeck, while her exterior spaces are characterised by splashes of "Monaco Red" – her owner’s favourite colour. A full bar, cosy gas firepit, al fresco dining table and ample sunbathing spots round out the superyacht's list of amenities. Accommodation is across six cabins, including a split-level master suite with a gym and an office. Intended for exploration, the yacht’s pilothouse features SOLAS-approved window shades and an integrated bridge system by Kongsberg.

Polar Star joined the brokerage market for the first time in 2023, nearly 20 years after her delivery. The superyacht underwent an extensive refit in 2016 and has been continuously upgraded, including a full repaint by Pinmar in 2021. During her refit, the superyacht gym was overhauled, getting a new floor, while the hexagonal spa pool was replaced with a more practical rectangular, glass-fronted one, flanked by large sunpads. Up top, the sundeck's hardtop was replaced with a vast 60-square-metre carbon-fibre opening one, promising a weight reduction.

Builder: Feadship
Length: 57.6m
Designers: Feadship De Voogt, Bannenberg & Rowell

Delivered as Larisa in 2013, W cruised under the same owner until she was sold in 2019. A 10-month refit soon followed, which saw W emerge from Feadship's Holland facilities with a gleaming silver hull, a larger Jacuzzi and an all-new television lounge. "The best thing about W is that she is a steel-hulled Feadship – and nothing even comes close," said W's current owner. "She gives you the freedom to explore anywhere in the world, unlike coastal yachts built by other companies." She's our latest entry to the list, having joined the market in April 2024. 

Builder: Benetti
Length: 64.5m
Designers: RWD, Susan Young

Delivered in 2011, Seanna's design combines classic Benetti brand motifs, such as covered companionways and sculpted mullions. Her standout features include an elevated observation deck which, positioned above the sundeck, hosts an enclosed party room. Below, the lower deck has a gym and large beach club, while inside is the main-saloon which can be converted into a cinema room. A grand marble lobby is found at the heart of the vessel and her interior is finished in fine Italian leathers, rich walnut woodwork and nickel inlays. Other highlights include a library with electric fireplace and a massage room.

The award-winning Utopia IV is on the market for the first time since her delivery in 2018. She recently benefitted from a refit which included a full paint job and service of all major machinery including engines, jet drives, and generators. Accommodation is across six en suite cabins, including a forward-facing master suite with its own six-metre terrace. Brands such as Armani and Hermes feature throughout. Special features include a 70-square-metre beach club in the transom, three spa pools and a touch-and-go helipad. In 2023, she made headlines when she rescued a stranded vessel off the coast of Florida.

Delivered in 2006, Lioness V  was described by the broker as a "milestone for Benetti and the industry alike" – though her layout benefits from a "proven format", particularly in the main saloon, dining area and upper deck. The main saloon opens up to the aft deck arranged with full bar, lounge area and extra wide staircase that leads down to the swim platform. An interesting perk is found up on the sundeck, arranged with a plunge pool, sunpads and an automated golf Tee-it driving range. A gym, steam room and shower are also to hand. The superyacht was listed for sale for the first time in September 2023.

Builder: Amels
Length: 55m
Designer: Tim Heywood, Laura Sessa

Papa is one of the youngest pre-owned Amels on the market. Delivered in 2019, she’s most recently been used as a charter yacht. Accommodation is across five cabins including a full-beam owner’s suite with a fold-out balcony. A stand-out feature is her split-level sun deck, featuring a large raised hot tub, open-air Teppanyaki grill, al fresco cinema and helipad. The sea-level beach club is another. There’s also a light-filled saloon, formal dining room and bright sky lounge to enjoy at all times of day and night.

The custom-built Astrid Conroy has accommodation for 10 guests across five cabins, not including the main deck master. A spa, gymnasium, wood-clad Jacuzzi and wine cellar with seating comprise the superyacht's list of amenities, while an interior refit by Michela Reverberi in 2018 resulted in a brand-new cinema being installed. Her most recent refit was completed in 2023.
