The presidential yacht of Egypt places itself at the 8th rank on this list of superyachts. The El Mahrousa, which means "the protected" in Arabic, took 2 years to build from 1863 to 1865 by the Samuda Brothers from London. This makes the El Mahrousa the oldest superyachts in existence today. Of course, this title came with a lot of maintenance and refitting over the years.
The first modification was an addition to the length of the yacht by 40 feet in 1872 and the second was an additional 17 feet in 1905. During the second refitting, turbine-driven propellers were installed instead of the paddle wheel engines. The length of this old superyacht is now settled at 478 feet. Initially created for the Khedive Ismail who was the Ottoman Governor of Egypt, the El Mahrousa carried three prominent kings of Egypt into exile. The royal history of the country makes this yacht grander.
The El Mahrousa goes out into the sea occasionally for a day or two and was present to inaugurate the new Suez Canal in 2015. This was especially significant as the yacht was also present for the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. here

When this yacht was launched by Lurssen in 2007, it was the second largest yacht in the world, measuring 508 feet and 6 inches. The size of the yacht, however, doesn’t affect her speed as the Al Said can travel at a high speed of 20 knots. This beauty may now be in the 5th position but it’s features are still a winner. With an accommodation capacity of 65 guests and 150 crew members, Al Said has quite the capacity that even the Dubai by Platinum Yachts couldn’t overtake.
Owned by the Sultan Qaboos of Oman, this superyacht has a picturesque exterior designed by Espen Øino with the interior created by Jonathan Quinn Barnett, an award winning superyacht designer. Amongst the helipad, the cinema and the 6 open decks aboard, the concert hall is what Al Said is most famous for as it can fit in an orchestra of 50. more

Azzam, created by Lurssen Yachts, is the largest yacht in the world in 2019. However, they couldn’t show off Azzam when it was built in 2013, as the owner asked for privacy regarding the yacht. The length of the yacht is 592 feet and 8 inches. Starting from scratch, Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi, the owner, helped in the design of this incredible yacht that can speed up to about 31 knots. The credit for Azzam’s sleek finish and the exterior design of the yacht goes to Nauta Yacht Design. The 19th century inspired interiors with french finishings is the work of Christophe Leoni.

The superyacht from the future, the Sailing Yacht A uses metallic surfaces that distinguish it from all the other yachts on this list. From the outside, this smooth silver superyacht hides away every hint of the interior and thus, the design of the interior is a mystery to most. However, it is rumoured to have an underwater viewing area in the keel that must be a crowd pleaser. You cannot miss this beauty with its three tall carbon masts that run parallel to each other, complementing the overall metallic tint of the yacht. The masts are the tallest masts on any water vessel.
Designed by Phillippe Starck, the Sailing Yacht A does not compromise on strength and is one of Nobiskrug’s best yachts. The metallic aesthetic doesn’t effect the top speed of the Sailing Yacht A as it can travel at the highest speed of 21 knots, even though it is as long as 468 feet and 6 inches. [links]

A superyacht, also known as a megayacht, is a massive and luxurious motor or sailing yacht that is manned by a professional crew. If you’re a proud owner of a superyacht or dream of having one of your own sometime in the future then maybe take some inspiration from the best of the best yachts in the world. The following list of the largest superyachts are enough to make you a yacht enthusiast and for you to collect ideas for what you may want in the future.
However, measuring superyachts or megayachts is no piece of cake. Measuring the largest superyacht cannot solely be based on the measurement of the lengths and heights of each yacht. There are many other things on the basis of which the largest yacht can be measured like gross tonnage or even maximum capacity.
Hence, the details for each of the top 10 largest superyachts described below primarily includes factoring in of the length and mentions other noticeable features like most gross tonnage or weight and other features that the superyacht may include like longest swimming pools and number of helipads. Another important aspect discovered for each yacht is the aesthetic appeal of both the interior and exterior design.

A joint venture that Blohm + Voss and Lurssen began and Platinum Yachts took over, the Dubai is a very close second to Eclipse and is short by only approximately 1 foot and 5 inches. It is 531 feet and 6 inches long. The yacht was bought by the government of Dubai in 1998, when just the hull and the structure of the yacht was complete. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, continued to build it with Platinum Yachts and the hull they bought.
The yacht accommodates 24 people with the owner’s suite, and includes 5 V.I.P. suites and 6 guest suites with a balcony for each room’s personal view. It can further accommodate a crew of 88. The Dubai’s most eye-catching feature is not it’s luxurious accommodation but rather the 75 foot wide atrium. The guests have other horizons to explore like the swimming pool, the movie hall, the barbecue and even the discotheque!

One of the most secretive large-scale projects underway, very little is known about the 158m Project Blue, currently underway at Lürssen in Germany. Due for delivery in 2023, Project Blue is understood to have an interior volume close to the 15,917GT Dilbar.

Also underway at Lürssen in Germany, the 146m secret superyacht project Project Opera was technically launched for the first time in early 2021. It is understood to be the rebuilt 145m Project Sassi, which was sadly destroyed in the company’s 2018 shipyard fire. Project Opera is reported to have a 20m beam and an interior volume exceeding 10,000GT.

Every year, the world’s most premium superyacht builders push the boundaries of design and construction to build the biggest superyachts in the world. German yard Lürssen has the most large-scale superyacht projects underway, claiming seven from this list, while Dutch yard Oceanco has three. The largest of the lot, the 182.9m REV Ocean, is set to become the most advanced and largest research vessel in the world when it is delivered. In second place, the 158m Project Blue is the largest Lürssen on the list and due for delivery in 2023. Several projects in this list are on hold, casting doubt over their scheduled delivery dates. The 141m Dream Symphony, currently underway at Dream Ship Victory in Turkey, is one such stalled project alongside the 126m Privilege One and 120m Project Y910.

But when it comes to sheer production volume, no one can compete with the Italian shipbuilders at Benetti who delivered three massive “gigayachts” (totaling over 1,000 feet of length) this year. The 354-foot-long IJE was designed for an outdoor lifestyle by British studio RWD, This new addition to the world’s largest yachts list features 10,000 square feet of exterior deck space that includes a massive observation deck, huge pool on the main deck and a private owner’s deck. more
