Builder: Lürssen | Length: 122 m / 400 ft | Guests: 16 | From: ≈ €3.5 M / week.
Fresh off winning Motor Yacht of the Year 2025 at the World Superyacht Awards, KISMET is the definition of excess: double-height atrium, basketball court, and a winter-garden spa deck.
2. RENAISSANCE – Spain’s Largest New Build
The 112 m Feadship-managed behemoth stormed the charter market in 2024 and is already 60 % booked for next Med season. Highlights include a glass elevator and multi-level beach club.
3. CASINO ROYALE – Biggest Review Hit of 2024
YachtBuyer’s most-read review of 2024, the 72 m Tankoa S701 packs a cinema, glass-front pool and—yes—a Bond-worthy casino lounge. Ideal for 12 guests seeking Monaco glamour.
4. MAJESTY OF GREECE – 67 ft Power-Cat New for 2025
Brand-new Fountaine Pajot 67 built for the Greek Isles: low fuel burn, jacuzzi on the foredeck, and rates starting at €40k/week for 10 guests. Perfect first-timer boat.
5. ETERNAL SPARK – “Floating Holiday Resort”
Dubbed a floating resort with five bars, dual cinemas and a 5 000-L jacuzzi, this 50 m stunner charters from ~£315k/week.

Part of the Luxury Charter Fleet 2025 short-list, this 40 m motor yacht offers a rare beach-club stern and free-dive compressor for Bodrum/Göcek itineraries.

Fresh interior refit and a water-toys arsenal (Seabobs, e-foil). Carries a chef just back from Nobu Mykonos.

Flybridge jacuzzi, retractable swim platform and a Captain who’s logged 50 Mediterranean seasons.
9. KIBOKO 4 – Sailing Yacht of the Year 2025
Southern Wind SW108 that scooped Sailing Yacht of the Year. Carbon rig, 10-knots under sail, and coffee-table interiors by Nauta.
10. LEMON NOT LIME – Balearics Cat That Keeps Selling Out
This 2019 Sunreef cat has better AV gear than most villas on Ibiza and a crew that doubles as a DJ team after dark.
