To get in the mood for our Top 200 Ranking A few numerical highlights: The average length of the 200 largest motor yachts is an impressive 81.40 metres, with the top ten even reaching 147.20 metres. At 62 metres, the smallest yacht in our ranking is the "Sarah" launched by Amels in 2002, while number one is still the 163-metre-long "Eclipse" owned by Russian Roman Abramovich.
As in previous years, we have only included yachts that will be delivered by the end of this year, so we have not included the 181 metre Lürssen "Azzam" (issue 4/12) in this giant ranking. A total of 37 new yachts have moved into the current top list, but in contrast to the last few years, little has changed in the top 30 places.
However, the large shipyards, which include Lürssen, Amels, Oceanco and of course Feadship, delivered numerous formats with lengths of just under 90 metres, including eye-catchers such as the 87.78-metre "Musashi" for Larry Ellison and Steven Spielberg's 85-metre Oceanco "Seven Seas". For anyone reading this ranking for the first time: In addition to the length of the yacht, we list its current name in the first line. This is followed by the nationality of the owner, the year of launch and the shipyard. The location of the shipyard is followed by details of the builder, designer and propulsion units.
