5 Luxury Yacht Options To Dream About

In a world of social distancing, what better way to get away from it all than with your own luxury yacht?

Having your own personal cruise ship answers a lot of problems in today’s convoluted world. Forget about the hassles of lining up at the airport for hours, making sure you get a Covid test within XX hours before departure, or having all your QR codes sorted out. Just hop aboard your luxury yacht and go wherever you like while leaving the headaches behind on the dock.

And once you arrive, you already have a wonderful place to stay with all the comforts of home – including a full gourmet kitchen so you can enjoy your precious leisure time the way it was intended to be enjoyed – calmly, quietly, and completely hassle free.

Sound appealing? It’s not as far-fetched as you might think. While the biggest superyachts might set you back a few hundred million to get started, smaller, more humble yachts can boast almost the same level of luxury for a fraction of the price. If you’re looking for a way to spend your lottery winnings, one of these brand-new luxury yachts might just be the place to start.

Azimut Grande S10

Azumit Grande S10

Azimut’s 95-foot flagship presents an innovative open layout and hybrid construction which contributes to its remarkable performance. Twin 2,600-horsepower MTU diesels give the Grande S10 a top speed in the range of 35 knots, and a comfortable cruising speed in the range of 28 knots so you can spend more time enjoying your destination and less time getting there. The luxury yacht sleeps six people in obnoxious comfort, and spoils them rotten when they’re awake with its massive infinity terrace, stern toy garage, outdoor dining spaces and opulent interior.

Benetti Oasis 40m

Benetti’s award-winning Oasis 40m has quickly become one of the fastest-selling luxury yachts in the world, and it’s easy to see why. Twin MAN 1,400-horsepower diesels provide a range of over 4,000 nautical miles – that’s trans-Atlantic range – yet it can sprint along at speeds of up to 18 knots when it needs to or cruise like a champ at 12. Five staterooms sleep 10 people in glorious luxury, with the owner’s suite appointed with niceties like a walk-in dressing room with its own his-and-hers walk-in closets, an enormous ensuite bath, and a siting area larger than some people’s homes. It sure beats a cramped airplane seat.

Ferretti 1000

Who says good things have to come in small packages? Ferretti’s new 1000 luxury yacht stretches a full 100 feet in length and features an extra-wide beam to provide what feels like acres on onboard space. Carbon fiber construction and twin MTU 16V 2000 M86 engines – kicking out 2,200 ponies apiece – to push this big boy to a top speed of 28 knots and maintain a cruising speed of 24 knots so you get where you’re going pronto. Then you can kick back and enjoy its stern beach club, go for a spin in the tender or its twin Sea-Doos, peruse the wine cellar or work out on the onboard gym. Clean up for dinner in the master suite’s enormous ensuite bath – complete with marble everywhere, of course — then enjoy a gourmet meal cooked by your own onboard chef. Yes indeed, good things really do come in large packages, don’t they?

Monte Carlo 76 Skylounge

Monte Carlo 76 Skylounge

You would expect a yacht named for Monte Carlo to be luxurious, and this one’s right out of a James Bond flick. Enjoy the views from the elevated skylounge terrace, where a full outdoor kitchen allows all-day luxury without ever having to move. Or flake in the sun on the massive aft cockpit, with its comfy furnishings and unbeatable views. Up in the bow there’s even more slumming space, or head indoors to air conditioned comfort and unwind after a long day of laying about doing nothing at all. Four staterooms below decks, including an incredibly opulent master suite, ensure a terrific night’s sleep to the sound of the waves gently lapping at the hull.

Ocean Alexander 27E

The E stands for Explorer, and this luxury yacht comes set up to explore the four corners of the globe with its enormous cockpit space and oversized stern platform, integral crane for launching boats, and luxurious interior spaces ensuring plenty of rest between junkets. Stretching nearly 90 feet in length, the 27E offers plenty of onboard space for the owners and their guests – including a main deck salon with plenty of settees, club chairs, and an enormous high-definition screen so you don’t miss the big game.
