Excellence
The 263-foot motor yacht Excellence – which was delivered in 2019 by the German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen with an interior by Winch Design – is one of the most famous yachts in recent years. Its several acres worth of glass gives the interior an incredible visual connection with the surroundings, while the massive 2,115 gross tonnes of interior volume provides space for a truly impressive array of amenities. These include a three-deck atrium, a tiered movie theater, a water-level beach club at the stern with a skylight that looks into the swimming pool above, an elevator, and an entire deck dedicated to the owner’s accommodations.

Ragnar
Fresh after a 21-month overhaul that was completed in 2020 and turned the education research vessel, built in 2012, into an ice-breaking luxury yacht, Ragnar is ready to explore the world. The Dutch shipyard Icon Yachts carried out the conversion beautifully with all the luxurious amenities one could want in a superyacht, along with a global 6,000 nautical mile range, an ice-breaking hull (very rare for a recreational ship) and adventure toys such as two sailing tenders, four snowmobiles, four quads, a submarine, a helicopter ready for heli-skiing and a luxury Ripsaw tank.

Rebeca
As befits a yacht from Italian shipyard Benetti, the 133-foot Rebeca motor yacht, launched in 2020, feels like a much larger ship. The beach club at the stern, for example, has so-called wings that fold down port and starboard to expand the overwater area, which also includes a glass-walled infinity plunge pool. Other highlights include a large main salon that combines a lounge and dining room into one continuous space, and the top-level sundeck with a raised spa, cushioned lounge, outdoor dining table, and grill on the deck.

haze
Built in 2021 by Italy’s Extra Yachts – a division of ISA Yachts that specializes in smaller crossover designs that maximize volume with wide superstructures – the 86-foot motor yacht Haze feels like a penthouse on the water. Large windows surround the salon and dining area on the main deck, the flybridge acts as a roof terrace with an unobstructed view and a hydraulic bathing platform at the stern creates a 537 square meter beach club, which is considerable for a yacht of this size

The design of the towering hull and stacked superstructure of the 111-foot Mimi La Sardine is a distinctive design feature of the yachts from Italian manufacturer Cantiere delle Marche, who delivered the yacht in 2019. This shape creates unusually spacious interiors for a yacht of this size and the interior design is stunning, with a boho-chic style that makes the yacht feel like a beach house.

Almost finished
Designs by the Italian shipyard Azimut can be recognized immediately by their sporty silhouettes. For the 72-foot Fast Done, which launched in 2020, Azimut used carbon fiber construction to minimize structural materials and give it the greatest interior volume for a yacht of its length. The distinguishing feature of Near Done is the large flybridge, which creates more space on deck than most yachts of this size and can be shaded or opened with a retractable sliding roof in the hood.

The Dutch shipyard Amels has built some of the most famous yachts on the water. Galene was built in 2020 and is the latest charter example of Amels’ hugely successful 180-foot platform, which benefits from huge interior windows and expansive exterior decks, especially on the sundeck that runs the length of the superstructure and benefits. The interior has an open feel with a modern, chic design that gives the impression of being in a seaside beach resort.
Starting at around $ 605,000 per week (via Burgess)
Built in 2007 with a design inspired by JP Morgans yacht from the 1930s, the 296 foot long Nero is a modern classic with an instantly recognizable design. Recent modifications have given the yacht a more contemporary interior with the latest technology. Highlights include a maisonette-style master suite with a private lounge, study and his and her bathroom; full spa on board; 18-foot resistance pool on the foredeck; and lots of outdoor space. The yacht chartered with tons of toys and tenders, including an inflatable slide and a veritable floating play area attached to the stern.

Emocean
Rosetti Superyachts’ 125-foot Emocean feels like a much larger yacht in terms of space and capabilities. Its range of 5,000 nautical miles is comparable to ships twice the size, while the amenities on board – such as a master suite with full jet, a nearly 3,800 square meter deck, and a sky lounge with a cinema – compete with those of yachts for longer than 200 meters.
