So, to wrap up what’s been a rollercoaster year, here are the top 10 largest superyachts delivered in 2020.

10. Arrow – 75m

Feadship’s 75-metre (246-foot) Arrow was drawn by Jonny Horsfield and his team at H2 Yacht Design studio in London. The interiors feature backlit marble and varnished teak.

9. La Datcha

Damen’s 77-metre (252.6-foot) luxury expedition yacht, La Datcha, is built for adventure. She is designed to travel to a range of climates from polar discovery to tropical pleasure.

8. Artefact – 80m

Nobiskrug’s futuristic 80-metre (263-foot) superyacht, Artefact, was delivered to her owner in March 2020. Gregory C. Marshall designed her eye-catching glass-panel exteriors. An engineer and accomplished entrepreneur, the owner wanted to minimise emissions and the impact on the environment. Artefact boasts on-board solar panels, which allows her to minimise the use of internal combustion engines. She also features an innovative diesel-electric propulsion system which makes her up to 30% more efficient than other diesel yachts of her size. Lastly, the yacht uses dynamic positioning technology which ensures she can maintain her position on water, meaning there is no need to drop and anchor and damage the seabed. Artefact can reach a top speed of 17.8 knots and can accommodate up to 16 guests and 24 crew.

7. Sea Eagle II – 81m

Royal Huisman’s magnificent 81-metre (266-foot) Sea Eagle II is the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht.

6. Avantage – 87m

Previously known as Project Hawaii, Lurssen’s 87-metre (285-foot) Avantage was designed by Bannenberg & Rowell.

5. Olivia O – 88.5m

Ulstein Verft’s 88.5-metre (290-foot) Olivia O is not typical in style; she features a trademarked reverse-bow design called the X-Bow. The design reduces pitching in heavy seas, while piercing smaller waves, and allowing comfort at faster speeds. Some of her impressive highlights are a large swimming pool and helideck. Olivia O offers accommodation to up to 20 guests (across eight cabins) and 30 crew members.

4. O’Pari – 95m

Golden Yacht’s 95-metre (312-foot) superyacht O’Pari has been built with an aerodynamic look. The exterior deck areas include a helideck, sundeck with DJ booth, bar and Jacuzzi.

With a top speed of 18 knots, O’Pari can welcome 12 guests on board overnight as well as 28 crew.
