The list includes the stalwart brands, Feadship, Oceanco, Amels, Benetti and Lürssen, with a few impressive superyachts from lesser-known yards.
The cost of building a superyacht is largely based on materials, labor, and location, but the choice of shipyard, designer, and bespoke detailing has a significant impact on the final bill, not to mention the final build. Take, for example, the almost mythical History Supreme, a 100-foot yacht commissioned by the late British entrepreneur Stuart Hughes that features a hull wrapped in solid gold. The deck, dining area, cap rails, and anchor are reported to be made from precious metals, while rumors of a meteoric stone wall and T-Rex bone shavings in the owner’s suite might go somewhere to explaining the estimated (and unsubstantiated) $3.8 billion build cost.
Within the brokerage market, of course, the cost of a yacht comes down to what a potential owner is willing to pay. As any broker will tell you, there are certain factors that should be considered, such as age, engine hours, and how well the yacht has been maintained, but for the owner with a dream and a clear idea in mind, it comes down to how much they want it.
Here are the 10 most expensive yachts for sale in 2025.
‘H3,’ Oceanco
The most expensive yacht for sale in 2025 is a new take on an old classic. Twenty-two years after its delivery, the Oceanco H3 returned to its original shipyard to get a 33-foot hull stretch, a modified superstructure, and a completely reimagined interior by Reymond Langton. The extra length accommodates the owner’s request for a large pool aft that is designed with a rising dance floor. The yacht has had a string of high-profile owners, including F1’s Force India boss (and now fugitive) Vijay Mallya, who gained notoriety for throwing extravagant parties aboard. H3 is now listed for sale with Edmiston. About €300 million
‘Lady Lara,’ Lürssen
The Lürssen-built Lady Lara is all about onboard amenities, from the touch-and-go helipad on the bow to the dedicated spa for lingering pamper sessions. Perhaps the most impressive onboard area of this yacht, jointly listed with Merle Wood Associates and Y.CO, is the sun deck, with two large pools surrounded by sun pads, a swim-up bar, and a teppanyaki grill. A third pool on the main deck has a lifting floor that turns into a dance floor at night, while the private owner’s deck has an additional plunge pool. As for entertainment, a cozy cinema with reclining armchairs and a bespoke music system have all bases covered. About €230 million
‘Energy,’ Amels
With an exterior by Espen Øino and interior by Francois Zuretti, Energy is a full-custom Amels yacht delivered in 2022 with a design aimed at finding new ways to connect guests with the ocean. Take, for example, the top-deck helipad, which, outside of a landing pad, functions as an open-air socializing hub with a sun lounge, alfresco yoga studio, statement bar and Jacuzzi. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the owner’s deck overlook a private foredeck terrace with an intimate lounge, another Jacuzzi, and marble fire pit, while the VIP suites all have full-height sliding glass walls that open onto a private balcony. Jointly listed with Burgess and Cecil Wright. About €200 million
‘Here Comes The Sun,’ Amels
The 292-foot Amels Here Comes the Sun has been around the world multiple times since its 2017 delivery. It was the largest Amels ever delivered, even before its 2021 refit included a 20-foot extension. The extra hull length facilitated a 23-foot counter-current pool on the main deck and two new bridge-deck VIP suites. The sun deck was extended aft to create a helipad and storage for a H145 helicopter. Other features include a glass elevator, a private owner’s deck, a cinema and a sundeck Jacuzzi, as well as a restyled beach club with fold-down sea terraces, an extended swim platform with hydraulic bathing steps, and a sit-up wet bar for cocktails. Burgess is the listing broker. About €200 million
‘Pelorus,’ Lürssen
Pelorus is the largest yacht on this list in both length and volume, packing a whopping 5,403 gross tons of internal volume. It’s also the third yacht on this list represented by Burgess. A sweeping exterior design by Tim Heywood is complemented by a beachside villa interior by Terence Disdale. Delivered by Lürssen in 2003, a second helipad was added during a 2008 refit. Key features include a sun deck, with a large pool with countercurrent jets and a Jacuzzi, and five balconies and sea terraces, one of which connects to a lower deck guest cabin. An upper deck sky lounge also doubles as a nightclub with lighting, a sound system, and an illuminated dancefloor. The owner’s suite enjoys private terraces forward and aft, with a butler’s cabin for first-class service on call. About €185 million
‘One,’ Feadship
One is the most recent addition listed for sale by Edmiston and the only new build scheduled for delivery in 2025. Penned by Studio De Voogt, the yacht is currently in build at Feadship. It promises a bridge-deck wellness center with a sauna, a Jacuzzi, and an aft-facing, glass-walled gym that opens on three sides. A second Jacuzzi is found on the owner’s deck, along with an ensuite, a study, a private terrace, and a touch-and-go helipad. A second primary suite is on the main deck. The main lounge is designed as a luxurious beach house, epitomized by sliding glass doors on three sides that open to a large pool deck, with seating and a bar, that houses a glass-bottom pool throwing natural light on the beach club below. About €175 million
‘Savannah,’ Feadship
Delivered in 2015, Savannah is the most groundbreaking yacht of this top 10, with the world’s first electric-diesel propulsion system that delivers 30 percent fuel savings. The vessel also lays claim to the bizarre accolade of being “the world’s largest metallic object,” according to listing broker Edmiston. Clean exterior lines are enhanced by walls of glass that wrap around the decks and a 29.5-foot aft-deck pool with steps that cascade into an oversized swim platform. On the interior, dark rosewood floors, silk curtains, polished columns, and a metallic finish throughout bring the wow factor, alongside a statement elevator, wellness center, sun deck DJ station, and owner’s deck with a helipad and large skylight. About €140 million
‘Luminosity,’ Benetti
Luminosity, delivered in 2020 by Benetti and listed by Blue Water Dubai, is a hybrid yacht defined by 8,611 square feet of glass that clads the exterior. Alongside 10-foot-high windows, key features include a sea-level spa with sliding shell doors, a cold pool, a swimming pool, and a rising dancefloor. There’s also a helicopter pad on the upper deck equipped with its own fueling station. Sleeping 27 guests in 12 guest suites, including a four-berth children’s cabin, the Zaniz Jakubowski–penned interior is a modern, artistic wonderland. It includes an owner’s suite hydro-massage tub crafted from a single block of the same marble Michelangelo used to sculpt his David and a remote-control media wall with 1,200 feet of electronic panels that tower three decks up around the main glass stairwell turning the area into a tropical rain forest. About €135 million
‘Victorious,’ AK Yacht
This 279-foot explorer is as comfortable cruising icy arctic fjords as it is in sun-drenched coral reefs. Listed by Barnes Yachting just three years after its delivery, Victorious matches capability with comfort, pairing a whopping 8,000-nautical-mile range with a full-beam owner’s suite with dressing room and a private owner’s deck aft. On the lower deck, a 2,153-square-foot beach club and wellness center includes a lap pool, two lounge and bar areas, two sea terraces, and a gym. There’s also a massage and treatment room, hammam, and beauty salon. In the central snug, a working fireplace is joined by a bar, wine cellar, and humidor. On the main deck aft is enough stowage for three of the yacht’s four tenders, including a 41-foot custom-built catamaran limo/beach-lander. About €120 million
‘Elements,’ Yachtley
Built by Yachtley and listed by Camper & Nicholsons, Elements is one of the world’s few purpose-built SOLAS yachts, meaning it is capable of navigating anywhere in the world at any time of year. A Cristiano Gatto–designed interior brings the grandeur, with precious marbles, rich fabrics, hand-tufted carpets, and intricately adorned ceilings. There are even Grecian-style pillars in the main saloon and etched-mirrored glass detailing and crystal chandeliers on the owner’s deck, which is laid out like a private apartment. In addition to the owner’s suite are two VIPs, an office, and a cinema. On the private foredeck is a Jacuzzi and helipad. About €112 million
