A tantalising array of over 15 yachts in the 50-metre-plus sector have been confirmed, unveiling builds from trailblazers Feadship, Amels, and Tankoa Yachts. This spectacle is made even more thrilling by the breathtakingly colossal yachts confirmed to be gracing the event. Top of the list is ‘Casino Royale,’ a 74m Amels-built giant set to turn heads.

Casino Royale is an embodiment of revolution, introducing a shift in the large superyacht industry. The manufacturer, Amels, offers surprises both within and outside the Casino Royale, showcasing Tim Heywood’s exterior and Winch Design’s interiors. The Dutch yard boasts this as one of their later, and notably stunning, units. Though smaller in comparison, Hampshire, the 66.3m Feadship, holds the crown for the most expensive yacht. Clean lines define her white exterior, with elegant decks proffering a contemporary interior adorned in New England style. Hampshire, presented in ‘as new’ condition, is a timeless beauty, continually enhanced into the finest version of herself. The list also includes ‘Eternity,’ the 65m Codecasa. Following significant work in 2022, Eternity now flaunts a Bahamas-esque theme with features ranging from a sun-laden sundeck, a bar, an enclosed gym with shower, to a distinguishable six-metre foredeck pool. Prospective attendees also eagerly anticipate the presence of ‘Entourage,’ the second model of Amels 60 which is a testament to the Dutch yard’s customisation prowess. With unique features that scooped prestigious awards, Entourage is indisputably an eye-catching spectacle.
