Is the largest yacht also the most expensive?
No.
Pelorus is the largest yacht in this ranking at 114.5 metres, but her asking price is €160 million.
I Dynasty is almost 14 metres shorter, yet she is offered for €240 million.
A yacht’s value is influenced by more than its length. The shipyard, year of construction, condition, interior volume, technical specification, refit history and current replacement cost can all have a major impact on its asking price.
Newer yachts from shipyards such as Feadship, Lürssen, Oceanco and Amels can command particularly high prices because buyers can avoid the long waiting times associated with building a new yacht.
Does the asking price include VAT?
Not always.
Some yachts are advertised with VAT paid, while others are offered excluding VAT. The final tax position depends on the yacht’s ownership structure, registration, location and intended use.
A prospective buyer should therefore confirm the tax status before comparing two yachts based solely on their advertised prices.
The final purchase cost may also include legal fees, surveys, technical inspections, registration, insurance and any planned upgrades.
How much does it cost to operate a yacht of this size?
The purchase price is only the beginning.
Annual running costs for a large superyacht can include crew salaries, fuel, maintenance, insurance, berthing, management, classification surveys and periodic refits.
For yachts above 70 metres, these expenses can reach several million euros per year. The exact amount depends on how frequently the yacht is used, where she operates and how many crew members are employed.
Can you charter any of these yachts?
Some of the yachts in this ranking are also available for charter.
Whisper is currently offered for charter from approximately €1.2 million per week. Lady Lara has also been active on the charter market.
Chartering allows guests to experience a yacht of this scale without the financial and operational responsibilities associated with ownership.
