The 50 most expensive yachts for sale now

Builder: Astilleros Armón
Length: 68.2m
Designer: Incat Crowther, Oliver Design

Reportedly owned by the former managing director of Microsoft, Bill Gates, Wayfinder is instantly recognisable by her multihull design and blue helipad, which doubles as a sports court. She is the second unit in the shipyard's Shadowcat series and eclipses the previous flagship, Hodor, by two metres. Highlights include a gym on the water's edge, accommodation for 20 crew and a garage capable of carrying a fleet of Jetskis, five large tenders and diving equipment. She also sports a fully-equipped medical suite, providing assurance for adventure-based expeditions or sports.

Delivered in 2011 as the Turkish shipyard's flagship, Talisman C is the second in the fleet to bear the name. The original owner was looking to upgrade from a 54.2-metre to a larger vessel that could carry more tenders and toys. The result? A full-width aft garage that can accommodate a 7.7-metre Ski Nautique Super Air for powered sports, a seven-metre Novurania Chase 23 tender and a Narwhal rescue tender. A split-level master suite sits forward on the main deck and is described by the broker as having a "boudoir décor", with voile curtains around the king-sized bed and crystal chandeliers as bedside reading lights. Other highlights include a crow's nest observation lounge and a gym and wellness area with dedicated massage table and beauty salon.

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.

In 2017 (a year after her launch), Samurai was nominated for a Showboats Design Award. The superyacht has also proven to be a successful charter platform, thanks to her 1,029GT volume and four convertible guest cabins. The master cabin measures 87.1 square metres and features its own lounge area and architectural skylight. Other perks include a spacious sundeck with Jacuzzi pool, a gymnasium and a folding swim platform for easy access to the water – complemented by the yacht's impressive variety of watertoys.

Book Ends follows Aquamarine as the second unit in the Dutch shipyard's 5000 Aluminium series. She was built by an experienced yachtsman and is in as-new condition with low hours and light owners use. Accommodation is for 12 guests in five cabins, including a full-beam (nine metre) owner's cabin forward on the main deck with marble bathroom, separate study and walk-in wardrobe. Book Ends' flex-use beach club is also worth noting – the broker envisions the space converted to a sea-level gym for morning workouts, a lounge area during the day and an entertainment space by night.

Delivered in 2020, Neenah was built on spec but sold shortly after delivery, marking one of the most expensive superyacht sales of the year. Accommodation is across six cabins, including a full-beam owner's cabin with an office, lounge area and bathroom with freestanding bathtub. Up top, the sundeck features a sit-up bar, a Jacuzzi and low, freestanding seating for evening cocktails. An elevator serves all decks.
