Drone footage shows off her length and layout, with the tender well installed on the foredeck and her extensive 35m/114.8ft flybridge – the size of a luxury yacht by itself. The extensive outdoor areas give plenty of room for alfresco dining, lounging and sunbathing options as well as the possibility for outdoor exercise.
Previously known as PROJECT 400, S/Y SEA EAGLE II is the shipyards largest vessel by volume and one of the world’s largest sailing yachts. She is a three-masted schooner measuring 81m/266ft and was sold to an Asian client in 2016 before construction began in Q3 of 2017.
S/Y SEA EAGLE II will leave the facilities in Vollenhove and undergo sea trials in the North Sea before being delivered to her owner later this year. more

Philippe Starck was responsible for the striking exterior design of the 12,700 gross ton Mega Sailing Yacht A, boasting an impressive beam of 24,88m. Moreover, the vessel’s three carbon composite masts, delivered by Magma Structures to a design by Dykstra Naval Architects, are believed to be the largest and most technologically advanced free-standing masts in the world, each weighing about 50 tonnes.

Take a look at Mega Yacht A in the video below, released by Michel Mittelstädt from KIELisREAL last month. Currently the largest sailing yacht in the world, the imposing 142,81m (468’5’’) Sailing Yacht A – hull 787, made a very successful debut on the water prior to her sea trials off the coast of Germany. Scheduled for delivery in 2017, she was built by Nobiskrug, and is being completed by German Naval Yards in Kiel, Germany.

Though officially classified as a ‘sail-assisted motor yacht’, there no way she can be excluded from this list with those towering 100-metre mast made from carbon fibre. These three masts are free standing and can rotate to catch the wind. Nobiskrug built the Sailing Yacht A in 2015, and delivered her in early 2017. Both the exterior and interior design came from Philippe Starck. Not only is she long – at 12,558 GT, she is also 5 five times larger in volume than the Black Pearl below. here
She was previously christened Mirabella V at her launch on 2004, but her new owners renamed her M5. In 2014, she completed a refit that redesigned and extended her stern section by 3-metres. However, the disrupted her balance, and so in 2020 another major refit in NCA shipyard sought to correct this. Her keel was cut in half, and she was given a new livery as well. here
The excellently-named Black Pearl it proudly and fully sail-powered, with supplementary propulsion from two 400 kW electric motors. She was built by Oceonco, and was delivered in 2018. Dykstra Naval Architects designed Black Pearl’s DynaRig carbon masts and sailing system. The 2,900 m 2 of sails can be deployed at a push of a single button in just seven minutes, which is utterly amazing. more
Measuring 150.57 metres, classic yacht El Mahrousa was first delivered by the Samuda Brothers shipyard in 1865 and managed to carry the title of the world’s biggest yacht unchallenged for over a century before eventually being surpassed by a new-build in the 1980s. She was originally built for the Ottoman governor of Egypt, Khedive Ismail, to receive visiting dignitaries, and was present at the opening ceremony of the Suez Canal in 1869. She also played a part as the Egyptian representative at the 1976 Bicentennial Fleet Review in New York harbour. Under the power of three Parsons steam turbines, she can reach a top speed of 16 knots. here
While the definition of a "classic" is certainly not clear cut, the term is generally applied to any wooden or metal yacht constructed prior to 1975. Embodying a traditional look that harks back to the glamorous, bygone eras of sailing, classic yachts retain their original construction materials and building procedures for the hull, as well as the rigging and sails if they have them. Though they cannot muster up the speeds of the world’s fastest yachts, classic yachts are priceless relics of history that have stood the test of time, carrying storied pasts as well as something of a celebrity appeal within the yachting community. The legendary El Mahrousa has held onto the top spot for over a century and it looks unlikely she’ll be moving any time soon; read on to discover our official list of the largest classic yachts in the world. here
She has been refitted multiple times; in 1872, when her paddle wheels were removed, she was lengthened by 12.1 metres. She saw a further extension of 5.2 metres in 1905. By the end of the 20th century, however, El Mahrousa had fallen into disrepair and was relegated to serving as a museum ship. In 1992, she underwent a major refit so that she could sail to Italy for the Christopher Columbus Fleet Review, and she now serves as the Egyptian presidential Yacht though she is seldom seen in public. She is usually berthed in Alexandria and is listed as a training ship for the Egyptian Navy. more
