Steven Spielberg is selling his superyacht for €131 million ($160m). He took delivery of Seven Seas, his custom 282-foot (85.9m)-long yacht in 2010. But now that Spielberg has commissioned a new yacht, his current four-deck boat, which accommodates 15-20 people with seven cabins and has three luxury on-board tenders, has gone up for sale.

But Spielberg's superyacht is not the only vessel making a splash on the high seas...
Gigayachts are recreational vessels that measure more than 220 feet (67m), and the curious-looking Olivia O certainly falls into this category at 290 foot (88m). With its eye-popping reverse bow, it's arguably unlike any other gigayacht on the seas right now. Designed by renowned naval architect Espen Øino and constructed at the Ulstein Verft shipyard in Norway, the explorer vessel, which has eight cabins and can sleep 20 guests, is jam-packed with amenities from a helideck and cinema to a pool, spa and gym. It was delivered to its owner in La Spezia, Italy in May 2018.
In July 2019 Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal splashed $6.1 million on an 80-foot (24m) Sunreef Power 80 supercatamaran, which was delivered to the star on the Spanish island of Mallorca last June. The sporty craft, which accommodates 12 guests, features a stylish deck bar and barbecue area, and roomy tender garage for those all-important superyacht toys.
Dutch shipyard Amels delivered this 206-foot (63m) superyacht to its new owner in February last year. The boat was advertised on Amels' website for an asking price of €65 million ($73.4m). Amels has collaborated with top naval architect Tim Heywood on its design, and the end result is an avant-garde vessel that references the ships of old with its signature porthole windows and boxy hull. The ship also features a helipad, rooftop swimming pool, and multiple decks for sunbathing.
This superyacht brought to life by Turkey's Turquoise Yachts is a dream come true for intrepid billionaire buyers with a penchant for classic design. Delivered in February 2020, the 184-foot (56m) explorer vessel evokes the romance of classic steam ships and its interiors are traditional and cozy. Best of all, the superyacht is fitted with an ice-classed hull making it ideal for voyages in the polar regions.

This stunning 223-foot (68m) gigayacht called Soaring was constructed at the Abeking & Rasmussen shipyard in Germany and was delivered to its owner in April last year. A pair of monster diesel engines power the vessel, which features glitzy interiors decorated with details such as contemporary chandeliers and Makassar wall panels.
O'PARI was delivered to its owner last year on 26 June, and it is set to join the ranks of the world's most prestigious gigayachts for hire. Constructed at Golden Yachts' shipyard in Greece, the 310-foot (94m) vessel boasts a helideck, pool, jacuzzi and luxurious billionaire-worthy interiors, with room for 12 guests.
Dutch shipbuider Damen delivered an amazing exploration gigayacht last year. La Datcha, which is a formidable 253 feet (77m) long, is now available to charter from €840,000 ($1m) per week. The vessel features an ice-classed hull for polar adventures, two helicopters, helidecks and hangars, a dive center and toys including WaveRunners and snow scooters.
World champion offshore powerboat racer, and founder of Planet Honda, Tim Ciasulli took ownership of a 134-foot (41m) Oasis superyacht in September last year – christened Rebeca after his wife – which is the first of its kind from Italian shipbuilder Benetti. The fibreglass marvel, which was marketed at $21.6 million, has an indoor/outdoor feel and the usual upmarket amenities such as a hydrotherapy pool and beach club.
Kokoro, formerly known as YN199 of the Martinique series, was launched in October and was due to be delivered to its owner in the United Arab Emirates by the end of 2020. Originally on sale via Burgess for $18.7 million, the Moonen superyacht is 118 feet (36m)-long and, thanks to clever design, has the look and feel of an even larger vessel. With space for 12 guests across five cabins, its interiors, which are the handiwork of Studio Indigo, are chic and minimal, while the outdoor decks feature a swimming area and a winter garden.
Another 266-footer (81m), Vitruvius is the longest yacht currently under construction at Turquoise Yachts. Vitruvius has metallic blue notes to its exterior to complement the sea and the sky, while a large stateroom, private lounge and wraparound terrace give the yacht's interiors a great feeling of space. This superyacht also has six guest cabins, two of which are convertible VIP suites.

The high-end Ritz-Carlton hotel chain was set to launch its much-anticipated 'Yacht Collection' in June last year, but the coronavirus pandemic set the inaugural voyage back to November 2021. But it will be worth the wait, as the first of three vessels to set sail, the 623-foot (190m) Evrima, is more gigayacht than cruise ship and will feature 149 opulent suites, two stunning infinity pools, a restaurant curated by decorated chef Sven Elverfeld, champagne bar, spa, and a relaxation lounge. The maiden voyage will go from Lisbon, Portugal to Palma, Mallorca, but the superyachts will offer 40 different voyages, which include stop-off experiences such as visiting a Bordeaux vineyard and meeting a shaman in the Grenadines.
A 164-foot (50m) superyacht is taking shape in Crescent Custom Yachts' shipyard in Richmond, Canada. Once completed, either at the end of this year or in early 2022, the Danzante Bay will be the largest recreational superyacht ever built in the country. The vessel's size, sophisticated design and advanced technological features have already attracted an American buyer, who is thought to have paid $39 million to acquire it. The yacht takes its name from the owner's golf course in Loreto, Mexico.
At 600 feet (182m), this state-of-the-art eco research vessel will be the world's biggest gigayacht when it launches in 2022. No frivolous tycoon's toy, the REV Ocean, which was commissioned by philanthropic Norwegian billionaire Kjell Inge Røkke and is being built by Fincantieri VARD, will undertake planet-saving scientific missions. That said the interiors, which are going to include plush cabins, a fitness center and even a winter garden, are going to be deluxe.
One extraordinary yacht set to invite even more attention than the rest is a 417-foot (127m) vessel commissioned by none other than the richest person on the planet, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Details about the yacht are sparse, but it will have three masts and is set to be “one of the finest sailing yachts in existence”. A second, support yacht has also been commissioned, which will feature its own helipad, according to an excerpt from the book Amazon Unbound by journalist Brad Stone. Built by Dutch shipyard Oceanco, project Y721 will be the largest sailing yacht ever built in the Netherlands and will likely cost upwards of $500 million.
The tradition of the British royal yacht stretches back to the reign of King Charles II in 1660, but the last of the monarchy's ocean vessels, the 412-foot (125m) HMY Britannia (pictured), was decommissioned in 1997. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, in April it was suggested that a new royal yacht would be commissioned and now it's been confirmed, although it's not been decided if it will be named after the late Prince Philip. The estimated cost currently sits at £200 million ($278.5m), which would be financed by UK taxpayers, but it has been suggested that the yacht’s construction would contribute towards making the UK “a shipbuilding superpower”.
