Over the past 12 months, here at YachtBuyer, we've toured a whopping 75 superyachts, and as a result, choosing just five has been a daunting task. We've been thrilled by the sheer power of sports yachts, mesmerized by exceptional onboard amenities, and awed by groundbreaking design features. So, without further ado, here are YachtBuyer's Top Five Superyachts of 2024...
CdM Flexplorer 146: MAVERICK
The first Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer 146, named yacht Maverick, was designed to cater to the owner and his family who wish to traverse the globe, backed by an incredible 7,000nm range.
A large infinity pool is situated on the aft deck, which can be covered and used as storage for deck furniture while underway. Moreover, collapsible bulwarks on either side of the deck transform the space into a vast outdoor beach club spanning over 135 square meters when at anchor.
Additional onboard facilities include a gym, sauna, and diving centre, with further provisions for a rescue boat and jet skis on the upper deck's forward section.
A notable feature of the explorer yacht is the custom-built carbon fibre A-frame crane on the aft deck engineered by Advanced Mechanical Solutions with a lifting capacity of 4,000kg. The crane, which integrates with the deck when not in use, is positioned at the edge of the expansive cockpit to facilitate the launching of the 9.5-meter custom tender by Rivellini, and an A27 sailing boat.
This yacht, for me, is what superyacht ownership should be about. The ability to show your family the world in comfort and home away from home luxury.

AB Yachts 120: WRAITH
When it comes to the AB 120 model yacht Wraith, we'd be silly not to first mention the staggering performance this superyacht is capable of. Boasting engines that deliver a staggering 8,000hp, the motor yacht can achieve an incredible top speed of 47 knots and a cruising speed of 40 knots. Frankly absurd numbers for a yacht of 120ft which also happens to boast a super luxurious interior.
Not only that, but because it's running on water jets its draft is relatively shallow for a yacht of this size (just 1.35m/4ft 4in) so if, for example, you want to explore the shallows somewhere like the Bahamas, that won't be an issue. With a 500nm range at that 40-knot cruising speed, you can go places too.
The innovative tender garage can be effortlessly utilized with a float-in/float-out system cleverly concealed behind the beach club seating area. This mechanism works seamlessly with the central section of the swim platform. A hatch behind the seating area elevates, along with the platform, which acts as a transformer. This reveals the Williams jet tender RIB and PWC stored in the garage, making them easily accessible.
Unlike many superyacht sundecks, Wraith's isn't just for sunbathing. By day it's a lounging area complete with an expansive sunbed, but by night, it's a spectacular outdoor cinema. Hidden underneath the sunpad is a massive fold-out TV screen — neat right!?

Tankoa S701: CASINO ROYALE
Casino Royale is certainly a special superyacht, but it's also worth noting that she was the biggest yacht we reviewed in 2024, measuring 72m (236ft).
On the superyacht's lower deck, the dedication to leisure and wellness shines through. The beach club, adorned with stunning Tuscan Calacatta marble, offers a serene space for guests to relax. Down here, you'll find a sauna, a gym, and a bar area. Both the gym and sauna feature drop-down balconies, providing extra ventilation and beautiful views, making it an ideal spot to unwind and stay fit.
On the upper deck, you'll find a versatile touch-and-go helipad that can handle a private helicopter weighing up to 2.2 tonnes. But if flying isn't your style, no problem! The helipad doubles as a dancefloor, perfect for turning up the music and enjoying a night of dancing under the stars.
This deck is also home to an amazing full-beam owner's suite featuring a king-size bed with stunning panoramic views. Forward, there's a private terrace equipped with a Jacuzzi and lounge beds for soaking up the sun. The suite includes a private office and a personal library as well as a spacious walk-in wardrobe that leads directly to the ensuite bathroom, which features a freestanding bath, shower, dual basins, and heads. For those craving extra privacy, there's a second plunge pool aft, perfect for a secluded dip.
And, if that's not enough, then the tender garage definitely will be. The lower deck is home to two custom 7.5m Dariel tenders, conveniently stowed behind easy-access side hatches. Alongside the tenders, you'll find an array of water toys including jet surfs, Seabobs, wave runners, and wakeboards, ensuring endless fun on the water.
CASINO ROYALE is currently for sale, for an asking price of €69,000,000.
Wider WiderCat 92
With a beam of just under 12m (40ft), the Wider WiderCat 92 stands as the widest yacht in Wider's fleet. This impressive breadth allows for extraordinarily spacious onboard areas, most notably the owner’s cabin. A vast window provides expansive views and floods the room with natural light. The generous headroom adds to the sense of space, and the massive bed is befitting of such a capacious cabin.
The multihull yacht for sale uses a hybrid propulsion system, which includes electric motors, twin 360kW generators, and a 360kWh battery bank. Each motor is rated at 500kW, allowing the system to switch between power sources based on current cruising requirements. In pure electric vehicle (EV) mode, the catamaran can cover around 25nm at 6 knots. For longer distances, the generators activate, recharging the batteries and extending the range. At a constant speed of 10 knots, the yacht can achieve an impressive range of 1,300nm.
The VIP cabins on the WiderCat 92 offer a level of luxury that nearly matches the owner's suite, however, their standout feature is private access to an outdoor terrace that connects to the beach club via a watertight door. This terrace serves as a personal platform, ideal for early morning paddleboarding or swimming without having to traverse the yacht. The terraces of the two VIP cabins can interconnect, enhancing the beach club vibe and allowing guests to easily join each other for morning activities.
The coolest part is that with the private terraces down, they link to the aft platform so you can walk around the boat between the platforms to create an epic waterside terrace.

Baglietto 40 Metre: CLUB M
Motor yacht Club M is a great example of a custom yacht being totally tuned to the owner's wishes. Baglietto's reputation for high-quality yachts is outstanding but the attention to detail and fit and finish aboard Club M is outstanding.
The design maximizes deck space, creating an expansive upper deck - complete with a hot tub, dining space, and sun pads - that allows for fluid movement from bow to stern without the interruption of steps. This seamless layout is rare for a yacht of this size and is particularly valued by those who appreciate unobstructed onboard living.
It includes many features you'd expect to see on a larger yacht, such as the private owner's terrace and a novel ladder system that links the two exterior decks together for the crew.
Inside, Achille Salvagni has meticulously crafted the Baglietto yacht's interiors, treating them like a work of art. Every element is thoughtfully designed, with walls and ceilings adorned in soft, tactile light leather shaped into fluid, organic forms. The decor features a blend of pale brushed oak and darker eucalyptus accents. Natural oak floors are interspersed with luxurious hand-knotted silk carpets to add even more luxury to the inside spaces.
The owner's suite, located on the main deck, offers a full-beam layout that ensures generous space and privacy. It includes a dedicated study, a large bedroom, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. The standout feature of this suite, however, is its private balcony, again, a rare addition for yachts of this size, offering an exclusive outdoor area for relaxation.
CLUB M is currently for sale, for an asking price of €19,900,000.
