To give you a better idea, BOAT International rounds up the 50 most expensive yachts currently listed for sale, starting with the 105.3-metre H3...

Commissioned by an experienced owner looking to upgrade in size, this custom-built superyacht has only been privately and lightly used since new. My Legacy's standout feature is her interior decòr, which incorporates rich, damask fabrics with a jewel-toned colour palette of reds and blues. Up top, her substantial sundeck is arranged with a bar, sunloungers and a pool flanked by sunpads and sheltered by a windscreen.

Marguerite was built under the supervision of the Moran new construction team, with a design brief that requested a private owner’s area, professional dive centre, hefty tender storage and the ability to cruise for thirty days at a time. The owner's cabin is a particular highlight, spanning two decks and designed with an observation lounge, access to a private foredeck and a floating staircase that leads to an upper deck study. The yacht benefitted from a full interior refit after a change in ownership at the end of 2021.

Delivered in 2010, Kahalani has been privately owned by one owner since new and has been helmed by the same captain. She benefits from two large saloons, with the bridge deck saloon, unusually, being full-beam. Tessier's contrasting light and dark finishes make for a spectacularly clean and contemporary look throughout the interior. Elsewhere, the sundeck sports a Jacuzzi, full bar and completely sheltered dining for 12. The bridge deck offers indoor-outdoor formal dining at a large circular table for 12, thanks to semi-circular glass sliding doors.

Commissioned by a "pair of highly experienced New Jersey yachtsmen", Jackpot was the last yacht ever completed at the builder’s Vancouver facility, before it made the move to Tennessee. Accommodation is for up to 16 guests in six cabins, with all cabins benefitting from "sophisticated entertainment systems" and en suite bathroom facilities. Special features include a superyacht elevator for easy access to all four decks and a helipad on the sundeck, complete with fuel storage facilities.

Ela was delivered in 2021 as a Nova Plus model and benefits from a Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, "arguably the most efficient hull in her class". She stands out from sisterships Home, Erica and Amare II thanks to her mullions. Fitted with Warm Canaletto walnut, topped with downward-facing spotlights for nighttime illumination and backed by mirrors that touch the glass, the mullions amplify and multiply all ocean views. Other highlights include a coffee table with colour-changing onyx, a sundeck with a Jacuzzi and full-service bar, and a tender bay that can convert into an outdoor cinema.

Legasea belongs to the shipyard's B.Now series and was delivered in 2023. Her design is characterised by an open-air, 36-square-metre beach club between the main deck aft and the swim platform, with an infinity swimming pool that sits between the two levels. Connection with the outdoors is further encouraged with her sundeck, designed with an infinity pool, a hot tub and a lounge area. Indoors, the yacht's airy, open-plan layout is arranged with a "voluminous" main saloon and formal dining area. Accommodation is across five cabins.

No Stress Two was the first vessel to be delivered under Rossinavi's BluE initiative and operates as a hybrid vessel. She has five different operating modes to maximise energy (whether at anchor or underway) and AI technology that monitors consumption when cruising in electric mode. The yacht marks Rossinavi's ninth collaboration with Enrico Gobbi - Team for Design and shares the same sporty character as seen on previous projects such as EIV and Flying Dagger. Other highlights include a 10-square-metre pool and a DJ station overlooking the open-plan beach club for "unforgettable parties", according to the broker.

Calypso stands out thanks to her voluminous, "lavish" interiors, including a spectacular two-level master suite at main deck level. Stretching to the yacht's full beam, this suite is described as a "sanctuary" and sports an overhead skylight. Leach rarely holds back on ceiling heights and Calypso's is 4.2 metres high here. Meanwhile, the sundeck is split into three sections: a lounge seating and Jacuzzi area; an enclosed, air-conditioned gym; an open space designed for sunbathing or al fresco workouts, which also has an outdoor cinema set-up.
