Luxury Mega Yachts For Sale - New & Used

‘Mega’ as in ultra large yachts are the fastest growing segment of the yacht brokerage and new build marine industry. Yacht Brokers at Northrop & Johnson BVI know this segment of the market and are always available to provide advice about the purchase of a luxury mega yacht over 100’ (33 meters).

Mega Yachts are under construction in ship yards in Holland, Germany, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, Turkey, South Africa and the United States. Trying to sort out quality vs cost plus the length of time it takes to move from inception to spending your first night on board can be daunting. But for individuals who have a clear vision of what they want and the desire to see a dream become a reality, building a yacht may be the right answer.

For those whose timelines are more immediate, the purchase of a brokerage mega yacht, most of which have been custom designed and built to high standards, is the best choice. For this category, yachts are roomy and usually accommodate from 6 to 12 guests with crew from four to twelve. Mega yachts under 300 gross tons or approximately 185’ (45 meters) are built with comfortable public spaces for the owner & guests both indoor and on deck plus comfortable sleeping cabins. Many will allocate space for an owner’s study or office and a gym. Power or sail, there are many variations to choose from, but all will come at a price over $1.5 million USD (€1 million).

Whether you prefer rich dark woodwork with lots of detail and traditional styling, or a more modern streamlined approach utilizing light woods and space age materials & metals, there are sleek sailing yachts, fast catamarans, stately motorsailors as well as large very fast power yachts or energy efficient displacement hull power yachts that are all ‘mega’. To purchase a mega yacht puts you in exclusive company. Although this segment is undergoing unprecedented growth, it is still a very small number of yachts that offer the size, luxury and service that is prized in every culture. World wide demand for yachts in this niche is one reason that mega yachts have appreciated in value over the past ten years.

Another part of the large yacht category are vessel over 300 gross tons – to date these are power yachts that are unique and carry from twelve to forty guests with a 1:1 guest to crew ratio. These very large yachts have different manning and registration requirements to meet international safety standards. They offer larger public spaces for entertaining, cabins for additional personal staff (nanny, maid, or bodyguard) and usually other amenities for guests such as a spa with salon services, library and audio visual room.
