List Of Motor Yachts By Length




Some published lists exclude luxury yachts owned by or on behalf of Heads Of State and since these include the largest yacht in the world this leads to inconsistencies in reported rankings for all major yachts. Rising Sun , which is ranked fourth in the list below, is often called the largest yacht in the world, and she is the largest yacht which is ''certainly'' owned by a private citizen, namely the American software tycoon Larry Ellison . The Al Salamah was once believed to be registered in the name of the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, but was then discovered to be registered in the name of Crown Prince Sultan and it is a matter of debate whether she is a state yacht or not. Publicly available information about the Saudi royal family's yachts is minimal. The largest Saudi royal yacht, the Prince Abdul Aziz , was owned by King Fahd and has most likely been taken over by his successor King Abdullah .

The longest yacht available for charter is the sixth ranked Savarona , but the seventh ranked Alexander can accommodate more passengers.

  • It should be noted that this is not the longest yacht held in private hands, it is owned by the government of Dubai, the Al Salamah is the longest yacht owned in private hands.
