Top 10 luxury yacht builders 2024
The design and build of a luxury yacht is a truly personal experience. Whether customising a design to be built, or striving to create a completely new concept altogether, superyacht owners will seek to work with a yacht builder that truly understands their vision, and can translate their dream design into a real vessel.
As Royal Huisman proudly states, “If you can dream it, we can build it!”

Thankfully for these prospective owners, there are a number of luxury superyacht builders that have the ability to turn the biggest mega yacht dreams into reality.

4. Feadship, Netherlands
The home of full-custom superyachts, Feadship is one of the few shipyards worldwide that works to create completely custom yachts. It has worked with superyacht owners since the 19 th century to create one-off luxury motor yachts that are truly unique.
Feadship currently has four shipyard facilities in the Netherlands, with expansion underway at its Amsterdam facility in Western Harbour to offer the ability to build motor yachts as long as 160 metres (525 feet).

6. Heesen Yachts, Netherlands
Heesen Yachts is known as one of the world’s luxury yacht builders, specialising in custom superyachts in the 30- to 65-metre (98- to 213-foot) range, but with the additional capability of building vessels of 80 metres (262 feet) and above.

Its most famous vessels include the 65-metre (213-foot) Galatica Star, 70-metre (230-foot) Galatica Super Nova and 55-metre (180-foot) Serenity.
7. Nobiskrug, Germany
Having recently celebrated its 115 th anniversary, Nobiskrug began shipbuilding long before the term ‘superyacht’ was even coined. Drawing on its extensive experience in seagoing vessels, the shipyard turned to yacht building in 2000 with the completion of its inaugural superyacht project, the 92-metre (302-foot) Tatoosh. It has since delivered an impressive portfolio of innovative custom-built superyachts, pledging to work on a single project for a single client to build superyachts ready for the 22 nd century. A big statement of intent.
With two facilities in Northern Germany, the boatyard can currently build vessels ranging from 60 to 426 metres (197 to 1398 feet) in length. Over 1000 in-house employees work across the two sites, where they have developed and built numerous award-winning superyachts, including one of the industry’s most talked about vessels, 142-metre (466-foot) Sailing Yacht A.
2023 saw the launch of 70-metre (230-foot) Amoa. Her key numbers include a beam of 12.4 metres, a draft of 3.6 metres, and a volume of 1,900GT.

To date, the group has launched 58 sailing yachts and four motor yachts. Its track record for innovative sailing yachts has seen it set the standard for excellence in the sector, launching more yachts over 50 metres (164 feet) than any other builder. It's responsible for the iconic 88-metre (288-foot) three-masted schooner Maltese Falcon, which currently holds the title of the sixth largest sailing yacht in the world, and other award-winning sailing yachts, such as the 73-metre (239-foot) Nautilus, 70-metre (229-foot) Badis I and 64-metre (210-foot) Spirit Of The C’s.
10. Royal Huisman, Netherlands
Established in 1884, Royal Huisman is the only shipyard with two entries in the top 10 largest sailing yachts ever built. The 2020 launch of 81-metre (266-foot) Sea Eagle II was its tenth sailing yacht over 50 metres (164 feet) and its biggest yacht since 90-metre (295-foot) Athena in 2004, which was then the largest sailing yacht in the world. Despite being renowned for its luxury performance sailing yachts, Royal Huisman’s largest delivery in 2024 is expected to be the 65-metre (213-foot) Project 408, which will have a gross tonnage of 451GT.

The Biggest Boat and Yacht Manufacturers Ranked by Revenue per Second
Yachts have long been considered status symbols for the wealthy, famous, and successful. These yachts, especially super yachts, are often meticulously custom-crafted to suit the needs and desires of the buyer. When money is no object, these bespoke beauties are often filled with wonders and luxuries beyond the wildest imaginings, such as helicopter pads, indoor gardens, infinity pools and spas, and even jewel-encrusted hulls. That means that the yacht manufacturers and boat builders that fulfill these commissions are bound to make a pretty penny. Of course, yachts are not the only vessels that command respect (and profit). Fishing boats, speed boats, catamarans, and other watercraft also reel in the big bucks. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, annual U.S. sales of boats and marine products totaled $59.3 billion in 2022!

What is a mega yacht?
Many of the most successful yacht brands earn their fortunes through the creation and sale of mega yachts . So what makes a yacht a mega yacht? A mega yacht, also known as a super yacht, is generally at least 130 feet long. There is no officially agreed upon conditions a yacht must meet in order to be considered a super yacht, but you will probably know one when you see one!
The first ever mega yacht is often regarded to be El Primero . This steam-powered vessel was built in 1893 and was once considered one of the most luxurious yachts on west coast of the United States. Built by Union Iron Works at a cost of $250,000 dollars (which equates to nearly $9 million in today's money), El Primero is around 120 feet in length and features auxiliary sails in the event of steam engine failure. This impressive vessel has a long, colorful history; four U.S. presidents were entertained by early owners upon her decks and her second owner lost her to her third owner over a poker game. It has since been converted to diesel and is still operational today, residing in the hands of a home builder from Portland, Oregon.

At Merle Wood & Associates, we have long-standing relationships with luxury yacht builders worldwide, yet we do not represent any yacht builder directly. Because of this, we are well positioned to take an unbiased approach in representing our clients, and with over 60 new builds completed, mega yacht builders work harder because they know we have in-house expertise on how to bid, and that we have relationships with their competitors. Due to our clout, luxury yacht builders know the importance in keeping our clients happy, thus there is tremendous value in our knowledge and representation.
