Dear readers, this is the tenth time we have published our detailed list of the 200 largest motor yachts in the world. This much-cited collection of exciting insider information from the superyacht world is unrivalled.

What has changed since 2014? The entrance length has increased by 1.50 metres and is currently 66 metres. There are a total of 25 new entrances, the ten largest of which all measure over 100 metres - that's unprecedented!

Incidentally, a good third of all 200 yachts come from German shipyards. There are 76 of them, of which the Lürssen shipyard alone delivered 36 units. With "Azzam", the Bremen-based company is still in the lead in terms of length, and with "Dilbar" (5th place) now also in terms of volume: the recently delivered 156-metre format impresses with 15,917 gross tonnes and a living space of 3,800 square metres.

A yacht that is one of the largest that we have ever had the honour of presenting in detail in BOOTE EXCLUSIV made it to 39th place. "I Dynasty", 101 metres long, has a very unusual history.
Enjoy this issue!

Martin Hager

Editor in Chief YACHT

Martin Hager is editor-in-chief of the titles YACHT and BOOTE EXCLUSIV and has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag for 20 years. He was born in Heidelberg in 1978 and started sailing at the age of six, in an Opti of course. This was soon followed by 420s, Sprinta Sport and 470s, which he also sailed on the regatta course with his brother. His parents regularly took him on charter trips through the Greek and Balearic Islands. Even at a young age, it was clear to him that he wanted to turn his passion for water sports into a career. After graduating from high school and completing an internship at the Rathje boatbuilding company in Kiel, it was clear that he did not want to become a classic boatbuilder. Instead, he successfully studied shipbuilding and marine engineering in the Schleswig-Holstein state capital and focused on yacht design wherever he could. His diploma thesis dealt with the “Testing of a new speed prediction method for sailing yachts”. In 2004, the superyacht magazine BOOTE EXCLUSIV was looking for an editor with technical and nautical background knowledge, a position that was perfect for Martin Hager. The application was successful and a two-year traineeship was arranged. After twelve years as an editor, the editorial team changed and he took over responsibility for BOOTE EXCLUSIV as editor-in-chief in 2017. After long-time YACHT editor-in-chief Jochen Rieker moved to the role of publisher, Martin Hager also took over the position of editor-in-chief of Europe's largest sailing magazine YACHT, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year, at the beginning of 2023. When he's not working on topics for the two water sports titles, Martin Hager likes to go out on the water himself - preferably with kite and wingfoil equipment or on a little after-work trip across the Alster.
