The biggest yachts to look out for at the 2024 St Barths Bucket

St Barths is the epicentre of superyacht racing during the Caribbean season, often with an impressive array of superyacht spectators in tow . In the final days leading up to the 2024 St Barths Bucket (21-24 March), BOAT rounds up the largest yachts seen pulling into Gustavia for the famed regatta, beginning with Lürssen's 138-metre Rising Sun ...

Builder: Lürssen Length: 138.01m

If not for her sheer size, Rising Sun will be easy to spot from the shores of Gustavia thanks to her distinct glass panels running across the two upper decks. The yacht was the last ever design of Jon Bannenberg and boasts 8,000 square metres of living space that includes a wine cellar, double-height cinema and a basketball court. Rising Sun was originally commissioned by American business magnate Larry Ellison , who later sold the yacht to media mogul David Geffen. 

Builder: Kleven Length: 116.15m

One of the largest explorer yachts in the world , Multiverse (ex Ulysses ) was commissioned by New Zealand's richest man, Graeme Hart. She is equipped with a heli-hangar on the top deck for a Bell 429 helicopter, as well as a large swimming pool, cinema and spa for the ultimate guest experience. Inside, the yacht's massive 18-metre beam provides accommodation for an owner's party of up to 66. 

Maltese Falcon

Builder: Perini Navi Length: 88m

Fresh out of a full-scale refit, Maltese Falcon is undoubtedly one of the most unique and technologically innovative sailing superyachts in the world – kitted out with radical unstayed masts made of "weapons-grade" carbon fibre, a FalconRig and computerised sail and mast control system. Be sure to look out for the yacht's eponymous emblem on its middle sail, which also appears in the form of a bronze sculpture next to the indoor cinema. 

Builder: Admiral – The Italian Sea Group Length: 74.85m

Instantly recognisable, Kenshō' 's flowing lines and metallic green-blue hull took six years to create with design from Dutch firm Azure Yacht Design and Naval Architecture and Berlin-based archineers.berlin . The Admiral flagship was awarded the coveted Motor Yacht of the Year title at the 2023 BOAT International World Superyacht Awards and picked up another Neptune at the 2023 BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards for Best Interior Design. Onboard highlights include a glass-fronted spa pool on the sundeck, a sunbed shaped in the image of a manta ray and a diesel-electric system based on five variable-speed generators that earned the yacht its Eco classification. 

Builder: Heesen Yachts Length: 65m

The multiple award-winning Illusion (ex Galactica Star ) was delivered by Heesen in 2013, featuring the Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) developed by Dutch naval architects Van Oossanen & Associates . Her streamlined appearance and generous guest amenities have made her a favourite on the charter scene, with Beyoncé and Jay Z among her list of returning clients . Illusion was also singled out by Dickie Bannenberg – who designed the yacht's interior – as one of his most memorable projects owing to its considerable onboard art collection. 

Builder: Benetti Length: 60m

Another popular charter vessel, St David will once again appear on the hit reality TV show Below Deck , but this time with a new captain at the helm. The yacht is characterised by a classic Baroque theme with intricate marquetry made from satin woods, and a mosaic floor on the skylounge that draws inspiration from a "Tuscan palazzo". While St David is known to frequent high-profile events such as the Cannes Film Festival, she has also ventured to off-the-beaten-path locations including the Seychelles, Red Sea and Abu Dhabi. 

Builder: Trinity Yachts Length: 58.83m

Launched in 2016, Imagine... is one of the largest yachts to be built in the United States . The tri-deck vessel was penned by long-time collaborator Geoff Van Aller , with both the hull and superstructure built from aluminium to AB classification. The yacht's primary social area is found on the sundeck, where guests can relax in the Jacuzzi, on multiple sun loungers or at the bar. Inside, Imagine... also has a bonus cabin that doubles as a massage room. 

Builder: Feadship Length: 55.5m

This Feadship superyacht has sailed under a litany of names since her 2005 delivery, including Twizzile , Drizzle , Issana , Madsummer , Cynthia and most recently, Mary A . In 2018, her owner joined forces with American interior designer Claudette Bonville Associates to give Mary A an exhaustive makeover that included a top-to-bottom paint job, technical tweaks and a brand-new interior – all while carefully preserving the yacht's pedigree. 

Builder: Benetti Length: 52m

Lady B (ex Latitude ) appears to be making the most of the winter cruising season, with back-and-forth trips between the British Virgin Islands and St Barths since early December 2023 according to BOATPro 's Global Fleet Tracker. Before that, the yacht spent the off-season touring fan-favourite destinations in the South Pacific, such as Fiji, the Cook Islands and French Polynesia. She is consistently ranked among the most popular charter vessels with amenities such as an outdoor cinema, a Jacuzzi and a recently updated dive centre.

World Superyacht Awards 2023 - winners revealed

2023-05-22T12:06:00+01:00

The 18th BOAT International World Superyacht Awards took place in Istanbul on the weekend

Superyacht owners and industry leaders gathered in Istanbul, Turkey on the weekend for the 18th BOAT International World Superyacht Awards, held in association with AKYACHT. Hosted at the Çırağan Palace Kempinski, the ceremony saw 19 Neptune trophies handed out to the standout superyachts from the past year.

The 2023 World Superyacht Awards saw 19 Neptune trophies handed out to the standout superyachts from the past year

The World Superyacht Awards are unique in the industry as they are judged by an independent and exclusive panel of 23 current and former superyacht owners, who collectively bring hundreds of years of experience to the judging process. Led by chairman Richard Raper, the judges made more than 120 individual visits to this year’s nominated yachts.

The 2023 Motor Yacht of the Year accolade went to 74.9m Kenshō , built by Admiral, a brand of The Italian Sea Group. The yacht, which features a diesel-electric propulsion system, was praised for her “owner-driven attributes” and won by a decisive margin.

The Germán Frers-designed 56m Alea was named Sailing Yacht of the Year. Built by Vitters for an owner who wanted to “circumnavigate the world in speed and comfort”, she impressed the judges with her attractive profile, uncluttered decks and sizeable beach club.

Other notable winners of the evening included the 33.7m Van Der Valk Blue Jeans , which won the Neptune in the Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts, 30m to 34.9m category.

In the Displacement Motor Yachts 500GT to 1,499GT category, Come Together , the first Amels 60 designed by Espen Øino and Winch Design, was triumphant.

British yard Pendennis was awarded a Neptune for the rebuild of 58.8m classic motoryacht Marala , and Huisfit’s transformation of the 63.3m schooner Athos was named the Best Refit. This year’s Voyager’s Award went to V6 , for a North American journey taking in the beauty of Alaska with spectacular photography.

“This year’s World Superyacht Award winners once again represent the pinnacle of this remarkable industry,” said Stewart Campbell, Editor-in-Chief at BOAT International. “The skill, attention to detail and innovation shown by the designers and shipyards, combined with the imagination of the owners, has created some truly exceptional vessels. As the only awards programme in our industry judged by owners, the winners of this year’s Neptune trophies should feel justly proud of their achievements.”

The evening also took time to recognise Rahmi M Koç for his remarkable life in business, philanthropy and boats. A passionate yachtsman, he has owned an impressive portfolio of yachts throughout his lifetime – including his current flagship Nazenin V , a Sparkman & Stephens-designed 52m built at RMK, his own shipyard in Istanbul. Koç’s children took to the stage to receive the Legacy Award on his behalf.

2022 World Superyacht Awards winners

Published on May 22nd, 2022 by Editor -->

The 17th annual edition of the BOAT International World Superyacht Awards recognizes the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the most remarkable luxury yachts from across the world.

The winners of the 2022 awards include multiple categories for motor and sail, with the title of Sailing Yacht of the Year awarded to the entrant that is considered by the judges to be the most notable of the class winners in this year’s sailing yacht categories.

These two category winners were the 44.6-metre sloop Path , built by Baltic Yachts in Finland to the design of Bremerhaven-based judel/vrolijk & co design and Engineering, and the smaller 35.8 metre Perseverance 1 , from the drawing board of the Netherlands-based Dykstra Naval Architects and also built by Baltic Yachts with interior design by deVosdeVries Design.

Both yachts were conceived as fast cruisers with the aim of circumnavigating the globe in stages and, as their owners both invested a great deal of thought and experience into their designs, choosing the winner was a difficult task for the judges.

During discussions it was clear that although the judges admired Path as an enviably well-built and designed cruiser/racer, and praised her for her significant use of solar power, they narrowly selected the smaller Perseverance 1 as the Sailing Yacht of the Year.

This was largely due to the more single-minded “keep it simple” approach to cruising remote areas that drove the design of Perseverance 1, along with her attractive combination of traditional looks with exceptional sailing performance.

Additionally, she was praised for her efficient diesel-electric propulsion system and well-integrated technology that takes her batteries to full charge in just 4.5 hours and permits eight to nine hours of silent running at anchor. – Full report

SUPERYACHT AWARDS

Winner of the 2021 World Superyacht Awards

The world superyacht awards

The 16th annual  BOAT International World Superyacht Awards  took place in Monaco on Sunday, September 5th at the Monte-Carlo Sporting Complex. The World Superyacht Awards were created to recognize the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the most incredible luxury yachts from around the world. This event is known for its credibility, prestige, and glamor. It is a true honor to all those that are nominated and those that win. 

The incredible yacht  BROADWATER  was originally built by  Feadship  in 1994. Her refit was done by Royal Huisman’s Huisfit yard in Amsterdam. The star of this refit is  Adam Voorhees , refit exterior and interior designer. Her interior was transformed from highly varnished woodwork, traditional moldings and leather furniture to a very spacious, bright, and light, extremely modern style while still being comfortable. Adam Voorhees is responsible for the owner’s previous yacht’s interior design for which he earned similar accolades.

Exterior REFit

The owner purchased this  Feadship  in late 2018 and put together a dream team that included a designer, two captains, and a project manager. This hand-picked team not only got the job done, but did it so well they received international recognition. This team finished the new superyacht BROADWATER with very few delays considering they were battling many restrictions from COVID-19 in 2020. 

One of the largest changes to the vessel was the four-meter hull extension and transom redesign that expanded the aft deck and allowed for a beach club. The beach club addition included a bar, seating and dayhead. This extension accommodates al fresco activities from dining and entertaining to watersports and ease of water access. The previously inaccessible flat roof protecting the original bridge deck aft became part of the sundeck. This allowed the addition of the daybed and redesign of the lounge area fitted with a custom dining table, bar and large spa pool. The sundeck is one of the crew’s favorite parts of the boat now. 

Interior Refit

On the main deck, the goal was to lighten up the interior from the previous dark woodwork.  Designer Adam Voorhees  added freeform furniture and organic shapes to create an atmosphere of casual movement within the main salon and dining area. The uniqueness of the furniture ties in the gorgeous artwork throughout. In each of the staterooms there are one-of-a-kind pieces above the headboards with different textures and colors to bring a special feel to each of the Feadship’s staterooms. 

When you step foot into the main salon you feel more awake from the bright white walls, the light interior furniture, and the pops of colors on the paintings. This space is sure to liven up anyone’s mood. The design is inspirational to create something modern while keeping it comfortable and cozy at the same time. Every piece of furniture and artwork has a story and a meaning behind it. Their team took the time to perfect the design and find exactly what they were looking for.

And the winner is... broadwater!

BROADWATER won the Neptune Award for best refit of 2021 at the World Superyacht Awards. We would like to congratulate BROADWATER ‘s owner, Designer Adam Voorhees, Captain Jacob Ewing, Captain Mark Jones and Project Manager Peter Wilson for the acknowledgment of their incredible refit. 

Benetti Yachts – Inside the 100′ Tradition Series Tri-deck Yacht BW

The kalizma, “judges’ special award” winner, “best rebuilt superyacht award” nominee.

On 21 May 2022, in London, at the 17th annual edition of the BOAT International World Superyacht Awards , The Kalizma was announced the winner of a “ Judges’ Special Award” and was nominated for the “Best Rebuilt Superyacht Award”.

The World Superyacht Awards recognise the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the most remarkable luxury yachts from across the world. The globally acclaimed awards, are known for their credibility and prestige thanks to a judging panel of twenty current superyacht owners and two expert advisors.

To be recipient of a World Superyacht Award, also know as a “Neptune Award” is considered by superyacht owners as the equivalent to the Honorary Awards for lifetime achievement at the Oscars.

Our appreciation and gratitude goes to BOAT International and the judges for their time and for recognising that The Kalizma is truly something special.

Shirish Saraf, Kalizma owner, “I’m delighted that the Kalizma is the recipient of the prestigious “Judges’ Special Award” and had the honour to be nominated in the “Best Rebuilt Superyacht” category at the 2022 World Superyacht Awards Ceremony. The entire Kalizma team, supervised by the highly capable Aashim Mongia, Cpt. Surender Saini and Alessandro from Palazzo Morelli tirelessly worked to bring The Kalizma back to life. I think there is a responsibility that comes with owning something like this and that responsibility is to really keep the soul the same. I am extremely pleased with what we achieved in a very tough covid environment. She is truly a piece of art and history and I look forward to enjoying sailing The Kalizma in the years ahead.”

Aashim Mongia, CEO West Coast Marine Yacht Services , “The Kalizma is part of yachting history. Our team of trained specialists worked tirelessly with Cpt. Saini to execute the design conceptualised by Mr. Saraf and Palazzo Morelli. My team and I, feel truly honoured to have been entrusted to rebuild such an iconic superyacht. We are thrilled that The Kalizma has received such a prestigious award, and to have been nominated in the “Best Rebuilt Superyacht” 2022 category.”

Alessandro Ortenzi, Palazzo Morelli , “We are extremely proud of this award, at least as much as we were when the Mr. Saraf honoured us with this remarkable assignment. The history, beauty and elegance of The Kalizma embody Palazzo Morelli’s essence perfectly. An approach that aims to read the past, bring it to life and reinterpret it through the taste and necessities of the current days.”Kalizma was a cover page article in the February 2022 edition of Boat International.

Boat International is the global authority in superyachting, celebrating the yachts and the life that comes with them. They produce over 1.2 million magazines a year that sell in over 60 countries.

A look at the most expensive superyachts at the Palm Beach yacht show and their insane features, from basketball courts on deck to ice baths and saunas

• The Palm Beach International Boat Show kicks off later this week.
• Eight megayachts are expected to be on display for would-be buyers and charter customers.
• These are the show's biggest yachts — and how many millions of dollars they are going for.

The Palm Beach International Boat Show — the yacht world's flashiest event stateside — is returning this year with over 800 boats for both deep-pocketed potential owners and window shoppers to peruse.

While it's impossible to know what exactly will be on display until the show begins on Thursday, it's expected that eight megayachts — generally defined as ships over 60 meters long — will be docked at the show and at nearby marinas like the Rybovich Marina in the ritzy Florida town.

Some of these are for sale at eye-popping prices, but others are available to charter in case you fancy living like a billionaire for a week or two this summer (and if you have six figures to spare on a vacation).

These are the eight biggest yachts that will be at the Palm Beach International Boat Show and nearby marinas, in size order.

Nero: 90.1 meters

Price: From $497,000 a week (charter) Standout features: Pizza ovens, beauty salon, massage room, resistance pool

Reportedly owned by Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, Nero is modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship , and was built in 2007 and updated in 2021.

She now boasts a gym on her sundeck with multiple cardio machines and a beauty salon, and has an on-board beautician for manicure, pedicure, hair, and massage needs. There's also an upgraded movie theater, two new pizza ovens, and both a pool and a jacuzzi.

For those who want to go overboard, she has more than a dozen toys, including a waterslide, Jet Ski, and flyboard.

Victorious: 85 meters

Price: From $876,600 a week in the summer and $950,000 a week in the winter Standout features: Hammam (Turkish bath), wine cellar, wood-burning fireplace, children's playroom

Victorious brings a party vibe to the yacht show. With a beach club on board, a wine cellar, a cigar clubroom , multiple bars, and a lounge with a piano, the vessel is made for entertaining. Plus, there's a playroom and movie theater to entertain the kids.

For tamer charter clients, Victorious has a suite of wellness features such as a gym, massage room, beauty salon and hammam — perhaps a custom request of her owner, Turkish businessman Vural Ak.

She also boasts a treasure trove of water toys, including Jet Skis, jetsurfs, inflatable kayaks, and scuba equipment.

Casino Royale: 72 meters

Price: TBD Special Features: Infinity pool, helipad, private jacuzzi

Purchased and refitted by car dealer magnate John Staluppi last year, Casino Royale is the latest of his James Bond-inspired yachts (he's also owned an Octopussy and a Skyfall, among others).

Casino Royale has a helipad that turns into a dancefloor, an infinity pool, and a wellness center with a gym and sauna. The owner's cabin has its own deck, which features a private bar and jacuzzi.

However, the boat's price isn't listed, and while she's not necessarily officially for sale, that might change depending on who's prepared to buy, Mr. Bond.

For post-workout winddowns, there's a spa with a steam room and onboard masseuse. And for entertainment, there's both an outdoor and indoor cinema, and a disco club.

This 2021 superyacht is named after Triumph motorcycles — a reported favorite of her rumored owner, British businessman Chris Dawson — and even has one on display as an art piece in the upper deck's lounge. The primary suite is 1,400 square feet and has its own study , and there's a sauna, an indoor-outdoor gym, a helipad, and a massage room spread among her six decks.

She boasts an "armada of water toys," including two kinds of Jet Skis, electric water bikes, and a banana boat.

Seanna: 64.5 meters

The recently refurbished Seanna is available for sale and charter.

Her indoor-outdoor gym is on sea level so that passengers can take a dip after a session with the onboard personal trainer. There's also a sundeck pool, a helipad, a two-room massage facility, and, for the more cerebral guests, a library with an electric fireplace.

There are a number of toys on board, including a popular water trampoline and two WaveRunners.

Price: $65,000,000 Special Features: DJ and videographer on board, ice bath, sauna

Next-to-new yacht Come Together is looking for a new owner after doing charters during the 2023 season.

The Beatles' influence is evident beyond the yacht's name, with guitars dotting the sky lounge and a crewmember who doubles as a DJ. There's also an outdoor cinema and bar for entertainment and an ice bath and sauna for the day after the party. The owner's suite has a private study and lounge, and each guest cabin has its own ensuite.

The sale includes a number of toys, like Jet Skis, kayaks, and Seabobs.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

All aboard S.S. Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly gifted himself a $300 million megayacht, dubbed “Launchpad,” ahead of his 40th birthday.

The staggering 387-foot-long vessel was seen floating at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after arriving at its berth earlier this week, The Sun reported Thursday.

The multi-layered luxury ship’s sleek exterior was designed by Espen Øino International and boasts a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, according to SuperYacht Times.

Reportedly ranking as the 45th largest yacht in the world, the interiors are just as aesthetically pleasing and reportedly executed by Zuretti Interior Design company, a France-based company specializing in unique and custom yacht design.

The breathtakingly beautiful floater stands out with a navy blue theme matching an American flag perched proudly on its wood-paneled stern.

There are several outdoor areas where the social media maven will be able to relax with his family and the indoor levels feature glass paneling allowing for tons of natural light.

There also appears to be a helipad perfect for whenever the Facebook co-founder wants to travel to his vessel by air.

The Feadship-built yacht, built in 2022, can comfortably fit 24 guests aboard, requires a crew of 48, and is said to cost $30 million a year for upkeep and usage, according to Superyachtfan.com .

Boatworld insiders have been buzzing with speculation that Zuckerberg is the owner of the newly minted mega-cruise ever since it made its main voyage from the Netherlands last week.

The tech titan was spotted touring the Russian-commissioned megayacht in early March, though the impressive boat didn’t arrive stateside until this week due to sanctions, according to The Sun.

The website reported that Zuckerberg purchased the pricey yacht – along with its own $30 million partner boat — most likely as an early 40th birthday present to himself.

The boat reportedly traveled to Florida after being granted special permission to be imported just weeks ahead of Zuckerberg’s birthday on May 14.

Zuckerberg’s yacht is just 30 feet shorter than the length of fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos’ 417-foot megayacht Koru, which the Amazon boss snagged for a whopping $500 million.

Zuckerberg’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
