As the yacht world continues to experience high levels of new builds over 80 meters in length, the brokerage market has equally seen an influx of yachts the size of palatial villas. From Shahid Khan’s Kismet to a late Tech billionaire’s 126 meter explorer yacht, we’ve assembled a list of the most magnificent yachts publicly listed for sale on the brokerage market.

KISMET
The 312.4 foot / 95.2 meter Kismet was brought to life by Espen Oeino and Reymond Langton Design, the same design team credited with the creation of the award winning MY Serene. Launched by Lurssen in 2014 for Jacksonville Jaguars owner, Shahid Khan, Kismet boasts a large sun deck, swimming pool, spa, and the ability to accommodate 16 guests in 8 staterooms. Additionally, this includes a master stateroom with jacuzzi and direct access to the yacht’s helipad. Kismet’s interior is extravagant to say the least, incorporating elements of art deco, Persian, and oriental design. Kismet’s excellent crew to guest ratio of 28 to 16 is also a highly desirable feature.
Kismet is listed for sale with Moran Yacht & Ship with an asking price of €169,000,000.

OCTOPUS
OCTOPUS was built with serious global exploration in mind, whether exploring the deepest areas of the sea or the farthest corners of the earth, the design brief demanded that OCTOPUS was more than capable to do it all. Designed by Espen Oeino, the 414 foot / 126 meter OCTOPUS was reportedly the fourth longest yacht in the world at her launch from Lurssen in 2003, according to superyachts.com. This yacht, which ranks in at number 21 today, is probably still the most capable explorer yacht in the world. The nearly 10,000 gross ton OPTOPUS was built to Ice-class 1A standards and has the capability of travelling 12,500 nautical miles on a single journey.
With 13 staterooms, OCTOPUS will easily transport you and your 25 closest friends and/or family to the most remote corners of the globe, even in the most extreme conditions. The yacht’s interior, which was designed by Jonathan Quinn Barnett, includes amenities such as, a cinema, recording studio, observation lounge, and a large beach club/diving deck. She also has a pool, gym, and a spa. However, what may be OCTOPUS’ most impressive feature is her ability to carry a significant amount of tenders, aircraft, and toys. The yacht boasts two helipads (located forward & aft), a helicopter garage for two, and an integrated dock that accommodates a 13 meter dive tender and a 10 person submersible. OCTOPUS has the ability to carry an additional six or more good size tenders.
OCTOPUS is jointly represented by Stuart Larsen of Fraser Yachts and Burgess Yachts, with an asking price of €295,000,000.

LADY MOURA
Best known as the Queen of Monaco’s Port de Hercule, Lady Moura has probably inspired every other yacht on this list. Launched by Blohm + Voss in 1990, the 344 foot / 104.85 meter Lady Moura pioneered now quintessential design elements like the fold down dive platform and modern beach club. At over 6,000 gross tons, Lady Moura’s volume is certainly immense: she packs features such as, 13 staterooms, a cinema, top deck indoor pool with retractable roof, massive helipad, and accommodations for a staggeringly large crew of 72.
A true floating palace, with 2,600 square meters of interior living space finished in the finest woods and marbles, Lady Moura leaves little to be desired. An excellent separation of guest and family staterooms, and of informal and formal living areas, make this yacht’s general arrangement truly one of a kind. Impressive commercial grade equipment combined with an 8,000 nautical mile range make Lady Moura capable of visiting just about anywhere your heart may desire. Despite having been launched 3 decades ago, Lady Moura’s condition is nothing short of pristine with both low engine hours and having recently undergone a refit this year. Interested parties can register on the Camper & Nicholsons website for a video tour of Lady Moura.
With just one owner since new, Lady Moura is currently listed for sale by Camper & Nicholsons with an asking price available upon application. Lady Moura’s replacement value is estimated to be around €200,000,000.

TRANQUILITY
Well known during its days as Equanimity, when the vessel made headlines as the crown jewel of notorious businessman Jho Lo’s many extravagant purchases. TRANQUILITY, as she has been newly named, is back on the market following her sale by the Malaysian government as part of the 1 MDB scandal. Characterized by its stunning interior by Andrew Winch design, TRANQUILITY is another masterpiece of Oceanco, having been launched in 2014 to great acclaim.
The Ice Class 300 foot / 91.5 meter TRANQUILITY boasts sumptuous accommodation for 26 guests in 11 cabins, but even more fascinating is her certification to cruise with 36 guests. An interior characterized by a subdued oriental influence and materials such as Italian marble and bleached oak floors are the essence of TRANQUILITY. One of the most remarkable elements of her interior is “a fully operational, perspex-cased piano” located in the upper saloon. A formal dinning room with the ability to seat 18 is a particular highlight alongside the yacht’s marble lobby with glass elevator. An aft beach club with nearby full spa and gym make extended periods of cruising as comfortable as possible.
TRANQUILITY’s upper deck features a massive full width master stateroom with a shared bathroom and his and hers dressing rooms. Nearby the master is an office, which can easily convert to a guest cabin with an ensuite bathroom. However the most notable feature of the upper deck is the massive outdoor Jacuzzi located aft of the superstructure.

LUMINOSITY
We originally wrote about the 353 foot / 107 meter LUMINOSITY when she was simply known as FB272 following her launch from Benetti last year. With a volume of nearly 6,000 gross tons and what may feel like acres of glass windows, but is just really over 800 square meters to be exact, LUMINOSITY is a rare creation. The yacht accommodates up to 27 guests in 12 staterooms, and boasts amenities such as, a commercial helipad and 230 square meter beach club with gym, spa, and lounging/dinning areas. LUMINOSITY is being sold as a “brand new” yacht with a “2 Year Warranty.”
A hybrid diesel electric propulsion system that is noteworthy for its clean exhausts and batteries allowing for half a day of silent operation at anchor, make LUMINOSITY a yacht that can explore protected cruising grounds and therefore is one of the most fascinating yachts for sale today. LUMINOSITY has an 8,000 nautical mile range.
LUMINOSITY is jointly represented by Stuart Larsen of Fraser Yachts and Burgess Yachts with an asking price of €225,000,000.

SUNRAYS
Constructed to an exterior design by Bjorn Johansson and with an interior by Terence Disdale, it’s hard for SUNRAYS to be anything other than spectacular. The 281 foot / 85.5 meter yacht was the fifth hull in Oceanco’s Y700 series. Still in her original ownership, SUNRAYS has been often praised for her unique blend of outdoor living spaces and “multi functional interior layout.”
Having undergone a substantial refit in 2018, SUNRAYS’ gorgeous blue hull shines as bright as ever. Highlights of her design include six decks of elegant accommodation for 22 guests in 9 suites (when used privately), a main salon, formal dinning room, and a lounge which can be converted into a cinema. SUNRAYS also boasts a helipad suitable for an EC 145 or comparable aircraft as well as the ability to house 30 crew.
SUNRAYS is listed for sale with Edmiston with an asking price of €129,000,000.

AMADEA
The 106.1 meter AMADEA launched by Lurssen in 2017 is the third yacht on this list to have been completed to an exterior design by Espen Oeino. This vessel’s striking lines and straight edges give her a timeless military profile that is a sharp contrast to her plush indoor living spaces. Functionality meets luxury with this highly capable vessel.
AMADEA’s Francois Zuretti interior can provide for 16 guests in 8 cabins, and offers a range of unique amenities, such as a bridge deck salon which can convert into a cinema and a Winter Garden with a massive dinning area that can accommodate 28 guests with unparalleled sea views. Zuretti’s interior design scheme focuses on the use of classically elegant materials, such as marble, wood, and fine paneling combined with elaborate furnishings. AMADEA’s exterior perfectly complements the interiors’ splendor with a a different take on luxury. The yacht’s exterior spaces are both simple and massive due to her 18 meter beam and have thus allowed for an incredible amount of diverse spaces. The most notable elements of AMADEA’s exterior layout is her 10 meter long infinity pool, which spills over aft to give a waterfall effect. A large forward helipad, garages for two 11 meter limo tenders, a crew of 36, and an impressive private owner’s deck are just a few more of AMADEA’s numerous features.
AMADEA is represented by Imperial Yachts with an asking price available upon request.
