With the 29th Annual Yachts Miami Beach, a slew of imposing superyachts have been swarming Miami marinas of late, including the 236-foot Axioma , which has been in town for at least a month now and has a history of hosting Celebrity clientele, including members of the Kardashian clan.
Axioma will be the largest superyacht at Yachts Miami Beach , which takes place from Thursday through the weekend on Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, across from the Eden Roc and Fontainebleau hotels.
Let us introduce the five largest superyachts at this year’s event, led by Axioma. All are currently docked at the Island Gardens Deep Harbour on Watson Island, just off the McArthur Causeway en route to Miami Beach.

Top 10 Superyacht Marinas in the United States
Best marinas to dock your boat..
Marine, marina, harbor, yacht club, port — not exactly synonyms, but close. A marina provides safe dockage for vessels of all sizes, often offering supplies, repair, and other facilities to those who rent a slip. A quick (but unreliable) Google search told us that there at about 12,000 marinas in the United States.
Whether that’s true or not, that’s a lot to sift through. But we did it — we found the top 10 superyacht marinas in the U.S.
1. Yacht Haven Grande | Miami, Florida
“Welcome to Miami” is the vibe when you step off the yacht and into Yacht Haven Grande by Island Gardens. This marina is nothing short of flash and accommodates some of the largest superyachts in the world.
This Miami marina was specifically designed to host mega yachts reaching 500+ feet in length, plus accommodation for smaller tenders. Onsite amenities include a luxury lounge, conference room, mail and package delivery, concierge service, BBQ area for crew, and water taxi to select Miami waterfronts. Yacht Haven Grande is a true marina destination, and one of the finest in the world.
Bonus: Denison’s Miami office is nearby to help you with your new yacht search.

2. Gurney’s Star Island Marina | Montauk, New York

Bahia Mar holds 250 slips and can accommodate vessels up to 300 feet in length. Facilities include fueling, free WiFi, cable television, and pump out.

The 11 Most Exciting Yachts at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show

The world’s largest in-water boating extravaganza, this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show—that’s FLIBS for short—opens its doors Wednesday, October 25 for a five-day run. It will have seven venues with more than 1,300 boats on display. The total number of boats, marine products and services represent more than 1,000 brands from 52 countries.
Last year, more than 100,000 people visited the show, with about half coming from outside Florida. Many yacht aficionados consider it the most enjoyable show on the international boat-show circuit, because of the sheer range of vessel types and owners—from twenty-something-foot fishing boats in the convention center to the massive 200-plus-foot superyachts at the Bahia Mar. The numbers of new yachts from Europe, Asia and South America also grow each year. Unlike other shows, there is a vessel for every boater profile at FLIBS.
Changes to this year’s show include an expanded Superyacht Village with more superyachts than ever, plus the addition of a new Designers’ Pavilion featuring many of the world’s top yacht design studios.
Looking for a new supercar to go with your superyacht? The new “Car Exhibition at the Hall of Fame Marina” showcases the latest in exotic machinery.
Of course, the show is fundamentally about what floats your boat. Here are 11 showstoppers you shouldn’t miss.
Lürssen ‘Marguerite’
Looking to escape the madding crowd? The 201-foot, Lürssen Marguerite is designed to go off the grid for up to 30 days. The vessel also a 7,700-nautical-mile range at a friendly cruise speed. Launched in 2004 as Avanti , and then renamed Phoenix , the yacht was christened Marguerite after an ownership change in 2021. Designed by U.K.-based Andrew Winch, one of the yacht’s many highlights includes a self-contained, two-story owner’s apartment on the main and upper decks, complete with an observation lounge, a private outdoor retreat on the foredeck, and a floating staircase to a private office. Capable of carrying a Bell Jet Ranger on the foredeck, the helicopter deck also doubles as a party place with sun lounges and a 10-person hot tub. Marguerite is listed with Moran Yacht & Ship for $48 million.
Viareggio Superyachts ‘Atomic’
Launched in 2020, the 209-foot Atomic includes one of the best onboard dive centers of any superyacht to accommodate owner Dan Huish’s passion for scuba. With a fold-down, sea-level terrace and specialized storage for dozens wet suits and dive tanks, the yacht was also designed to explore the world’s most remote dive spots. A state-of-the-art dynamic positioning system can keep Atomic in one place without having to drop anchor hook possibly damage the seabed. Designed by Espen Øino International and built in Italy by Viareggio Superyachts, this steel-and-aluminum superyacht was designed to travel the world. The boat has a 5,300-nautical-mile range at 12 knots, but the twin 2,680 hp Caterpillar diesels deliver a 17-knot top speed. Atomic is listed with IYC for $63 million.
Icon ‘Party Girl’
This sleek 205-foot superyacht from the Dutch builder Icon is all about having fun. As a successful charter yacht—it rents for up to $490,000 a week—the vessel (and its 12 guests) has a small armada of water toys at their disposal, including a trio of Yamaha WaveRunners, seabobs, a wakeboard, a kayak, and an oversized water slide, plus no fewer than four tenders. Reportedly owned by Pet Supermarkets founder Charles West, Party Girl also has the legs to party at the end of the world, courtesy of its 6,000 nautical-mile range. Launched in 2013 as Meridian and heavily updated in 2019, superyacht has distinctive lines from the drawing board of the U.K. studio RWD, with interior design by Cristiano Gatto. One of the many highlights includes a salon that stretches over 55 feet and includes a formal dining area with seating for 14. Party Girl is listed with Merle Wood & Associates for $52.5 million.
Tankoa ‘Casino Royale’
Likely to be the biggest superyacht at FLIBS, the headlining 236-foot Casino Royale is making an appearance in Fort Lauderdale to showcase the workmanship of its Italian builder, Tankoa Yachts. Launched as Solo in 2018, reportedly for billionaire Italian media mogul Carlo de Benedetti, the yacht defines Italian style and opulence. One of its most spectacular features is its full-deck owner’s apartment, with doors leading out on to a helipad allowing the owner to step straight out of the helicopter and into his suite. That, and a dining room with a huge aquarium engineered not to ripple the water even while the yacht is under way. After an extensive refit in 2021/22 that included a switch from stark white paint to a rich copper color, Solo was put on the market and sold in May this year when the name was changed to Casino Royale . The last asking price was €66 million ($68 million).
Azimut Magellano 60
Fresh from its global debut at the September Cannes boat show, Azimut’s lovely, fast trawler-esque Magellano 60 will make the trip to FLIBS for its US premiere. From the drawing board of designer Ken Freivokh, who also penned the 60’s larger sisterships, it features the same trademark teak strakes on the cockpit sides, the same vertical bow, and versatile foredeck for sunning and socializing. Power from twin 730 hp MAN diesels with shaft drives deliver a 24-knot top speed with relaxed cruising at 18. Below-decks are three spacious cabins, with the full-beam master located amidships. In addition to the Magellano 60, Azimut is also doing the U.S. launch of its new outboard-powered Verve 48 with triple Mercury V12 600s at FLIBS, along with the updated Grand 36M and S7 models. The Magellano 60 is priced around $2.8 million.
Baglietto ‘Blue Ice’
Paint big numbers on the hull and this Italian stallion from famed builder Baglietto could easily be mistaken for some stealthy navy patrol vessel— especially with that head-turning, forward-position wheelhouse. Even the top deck funnel has the menacing look of an anti-aircraft gun installation. The black hull and battleship-gray superstructure only add to the yacht’s don’t-mess-with-me appearance. And like any good gunboat, the vessel is fast. Twin 2,200 hp MTU engines, coupled with a skinny five-foot draft and lightweight aluminum construction, provide an impressive 28-knot top speed. Delivered in 1999 and extensively re-fitted in 2016, the minimalist Aldo Cichero interior offers accommodations for up to 10 in four staterooms. Blue Ice has a $4.29 million asking price with FGI Yachts.
Gulf Craft Majesty 111
Talk about a world traveler. Emirates-based Gulf Craft debuted its brand-new Majesty 111 superyacht at the Dubai boat show last April. Then it was off to the Monaco Yacht Show last month, where it picked up a “Best Interior Design” award. Now it’s making its U.S. appearance at FLIBS. Designed in collaboration with Dutch studio Phathom, the 110-footer is filled with floor-to-ceiling glass in its expansive salon. It also has five cabins below-decks, plus a spacious main-deck master suite with a skylight that looks up into the foredeck plunge pool. The yacht is also surprisingly quick, with a pair of MAN V-12 diesels that deliver a top speed of 20 knots. With a draft of five and a half feet, the vessel is ideal for the often-shallow waters of the Bahamas. The price is around $12 million.
Cigarette Racing 52 Thunder
If there’s the rumble of thunder around the FLIBS docks this year, it won’t necessarily be South Florida weather. It’ll come from the latest speed demon from Miami’s Cigarette Racing and its jaw-dropping new 52 Thunder Center Console. Slotting into the Cigarette lineup between the 42-foot Auroris and 59-foot Tirranna , this new Thunder lives up to it name courtesy of its six, Mercury Racing 500R V-8 outboards. That adds up to a staggering 3,000 hp. Top speed? That would be in excess of 80 knots. Styled in collaboration with Italian designer Giorgio Cassetta, the Thunder combines speed with comfort, thanks to its multitude of flashy, red-trimmed leather-upholstered seating and spacious air-conditioned cabin. The 52’s 14-foot beam ensures plenty of walkaround space, with the rear cockpit making a great access point to the water, or an under-the-stars dance floor. Base price is $3.1 million.
Aquila 47 Molokai
Florida-based Aquila is debuting its new 47 Molokai , aiming at the big-game offshore fishing market. The big brother to the Molokai 28, this battlewagon features double-stepped hulls and a raised tunnel between the twin hulls that combine to minimize pounding in big seas. With a 14-foot, seven-inch beam, the yacht offers exceptional space and a rock-solid platform for offshore trolling. When the family is along for the ride, the accommodations include foredeck lounges and a stylish, air-conditioned stateroom below with an island queen bed, with separate head and shower. Outboard choices range from twin 600 hp Mercury V-12s, or a quartet of new 400 hp Mercury V-10s, each giving a 50-knot-plus top speed. At a friendly cruise speed, the 1,048-gallon tanks should give a range of up to 800 nautical miles. Pricing to be announced at the show.
Princess Y95
Talk about prolific. Britain’s Princess Yachts has debuted brand-new models at recent European boat shows—the all-new S72 was one of the stars of last month’s Southampton show, while the new Y80 was a show-stopper at Cannes. Neither will be making a grand entrance at this year’s FLIBS, with the builder choosing instead to give the first U.S. airings to its Y95 and X80 mini superyachts. The Y95 is the headliner here, with its combination of luxury and performance. Powered by a pair of 2,000 hp MAN V-12s, this 95-footer can hit a top speed of 24 knots. The Y95 looks sleek and stylish with its near bow-to-stern hull windows and the hardtop that looks like it’s floating atop the yacht. Pricing starts at around $16 million.
Riviera 585 SUV
The 585 SUV is the latest addition to Riviera’s five-model SUV line-up. Strong points include its roomy and protected aft cockpit, its foredeck lounge area and three-stateroom layout (including a full-width owner’s suite.) It’s also a yacht full of innovative design touches and an impressive level of craftsmanship. Standard power is a pair of 900 hp Volvo D13 diesels mated to IPS drives, with the option of 1,000 hp versions. Top speed with the bigger engines is 35 knots, with a 400-nautical-mile range at 21 knots. Pricing is about $3.6 million.

How ginormous is this triple-masted behemoth? Roughly 400 feet long and 250 feet tall, it’s the size of a cruise ship. That ginormous.
The luxury schooner is so big it can’t even hang with other leisure ships; she reportedly is parked near two oil tankers. It has two pools, a hot tub, multiple lounges, dining areas and bars, and perhaps the pièce de résistance , a wooden figurehead on the prow rumored to be modeled after Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sanchez .
The 59-year-old billionaire shelled out about $500M for his snazzy new toy, which was built just for him in the Netherlands by Oceanco, the company that also constructed Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ superyacht, the Bravo Eugenia .

One of the world’s biggest yachts is docked in St. Petersburg
- Sara DiNatale Former Times Staffer
ST. PETERSBURG — A luxury yacht so extravagant words can barely do its Goliath size justice has docked at Port St. Pete.
The Bella Vita is nearly 250 feet long and costs about $650,000 to charter for a week in the winter, according to broker Moran Yacht and Ship. It can accommodate 12 passengers between its six staterooms and six decks, and a staff of 22.
On its website, the charter company describes the Bella Vita as “the superyacht for the adventurous, daring or those with insatiable wanderlust.”
It’s unclear who chartered the yacht and docked it in St. Pete. No one from Moran immediately responded to a reporter’s inquiry to learn more about the megayacht, which is under a Cayman Island flag. Trade website Superyachts.com says the Bella Vita is one of the top 100 largest yachts in the world.
The ship draws attention wherever it goes: Last August, it docked on Lake Erie in Cleveland , prompting the same gawks it’s getting now from the waters near the St. Pete Cost Guard Station and the University of South Florida’s College of Marine Science.
There is a hot tub on the sun deck, gym, movie theater, piano, water skis, wave runners, scuba gear and even a salon and spa on board. It “delivers on luxury while also having the brawny ability to go anywhere in the world," according to its broker’s website.
Before it came to St. Petersburg, online marine logs show the Bella Vita stopping most recently in Palm Beach. In November, it made stops in Charleston, S.C. and Norfolk, Va.
Once summer begins, the yacht’s chartering price jumps to nearly $724,000 per week.

The best superyacht marinas in Miami
One island park.
In Miami, everyone wants a piece of the waterfront. Condos, restaurants and private homes all try to stake claim on the ever-disappearing property by bay (and sea). Luckily, in a water-centric city like Miami, marinas take up a good portion of this prime real estate .
With dockage available in every waterfront neighbourhood, you can decide what amenities you seek, how much privacy you desire and which part of Miami you’d like to be based to explore this exciting city .
1. One Island Park
The One Island Park compound opened in Miami Beach in November last year and is designed solely for superyachts and is able to accommodate yachts measuring up to 244 metres in its deep water berths.
Visitors to One Island Park will enjoy a vast range of VIP concierge services, as well as a high level of exclusivity. The new compound was designed to showcase both the area and the best standards of service, meaning it will become an extremely popular spot for private owners, while its location means that clients can enjoy the thriving art scene, the beaches and the nightlife of Miami.

Island Gardens
The new superyacht marina Island Gardens Deep Harbour is situated on Watson Island and is capable of berthing 50 superyachts measuring up to 167 metres. The retail and residential aspects of the marina are not expected to be completed for the next two years, but the marina is fully operational with 1,524 linear metres of capacity with drafts of 5.4-6.4 metres deep.

Coconut Grove
Home to the U.S. Sailing Center and multiple yacht clubs, Coconut Grove is a hotbed for yachting activity. The 582-slip Dinner Key Marina, which survived the worst of the hurricane damage in September, sits right in the centre, and only steps away from the shops and restaurants of “The Grove.” The protected marina hosts yachts up to 38 metres with two metres of draft.
Sea Isle Marina
The Sea Isle Marina and Yachting Centre is a great place for yachts up to 42 metres to tie-up and be in close distance to what downtown has to offer with the Adrienne Arsht Center for the performing arts and the arena where the Miami Heat play right around the corner. There are also great restaurants right on site, as well as fuel and a ship’s store.

Miamarina at Bayside
Surrounded by shops, dining and even an outdoor auditorium, the Miamarina at Bayside is a lively marina. The marina has 130 slips and hosts yachts up to 60 metres and offers easy access to both the Atlantic through Government Cut and to Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys to the south.

Epic Marina
Epic Marina is surely one of the plushest in Miami and despite being hit hard during Hurricane Irma, is once again capable of hosting superyachts up to 95 metres. In the shadow of Miami’s luxe Epic Residences & Hotel, the marina isn’t short on high-end amenities. Guests can enjoy sumptuous meals at on site restaurants Area 31 and Zuma.

Sunset Harbour Yacht Club
Set off the Venetian Causeway on Biscayne Bay, Sunset Harbour Yacht Club offers ample dockage outside of the hubbub of the Miami Beach scene. Catering to yachts up to 45 metres with 125 deepwater slips, the designated “clean marina”, an initiative started by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, has some great amenities including a pool and fitness centre. Fuel can be delivered and it is loacated right around the corner from a large Publix supermarket for easy provisioning.

Indian Creek Marina
Across from Miami’s iconic and historic Fountainbleau Resort on Collins Avenue, Indian Creek Marina at the Fountainbleau Resort (home to one of the best hotel spas to visit in Miami ) can host yachts up to 76 metres. In February, this waterway is lined with yachts during the Miami Yacht and Brokerage Show. The rest of the year, it’s open to transiting yachts and makes a great destination marina that is in close distance to Miami’s finest spas and eateries, as it's located right across from the beach.
Miami Beach Marina
In the south end of Miami Beach, the full-service Miami Beach Marina has 400 slips for yachts up to 76 metres. The marina offers direct access to Government Cut, a manmade shipping channel between Miami Beach and Fisher Island, which allows better access to the Port of Miami. Likewise, it’s only moments to the best of what South Beach has to offer; the beach and the best restaurants, nightlife and spas are just steps away.
Private Marinas
Yachtsmen seeking a private marina experience while in Miami should look no further than these havens:
The exclusive private island community of Fisher Island Club, across from Miami Beach, is ‘members only’, but sponsorship (from a member or the dockmaster) allows temporary membership for yachts up to 76.2 metres in length to tie up in the marina. And their owners can enjoy all the perks of the club, including the beach club, spa, tennis centre, hotel, restaurants and PB Dye-designed golf course.
Midway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale in Aventura, Turnberry Isle Marina Yacht Club accommodates 117 yachts up to 45-metres. Amenities include 24-hour security, a private ocean club, pool, spa, several restaurants, and two 18-hole Raymond Floyd-designed championship golf courses.

Home to innumerable attractions, both glitzy and unusual, the state of Florida is an incredible destination of both the wacky and the wonderful. Its collection of boisterous cities, glittering beaches and incredible landscapes are guaranteed to leave an unforgettable impression on every visitor.
The state of Florida is a large peninsula in the south eastern section of the United States, and has been nicknamed the ‘Sunshine State’ due to its nearly constant sultry heat and brilliant sunshine. Considered subtropical in many regions of the state, the most southern portion of Florida is truly tropical and a fantastic holiday destination.
Florida benefits from an array of some of the most renowned and well-developed cities in the world coupled with unforgiving sunshine and Caribbean climate.
A popular winter destination with sun-starved Northerners for over a century, Florida has gained popularity for more than just its collection of chic cities, spectacular attractions and glorious temperatures. Known around the world for its glitzy attractions and raucous beach communities, the true Florida is a gem of nature, rugged landscapes and undiscovered beauty just waiting to be explored.
Culture The most southern state in the US besides Hawaii, Florida is a mix of cultures: the northern section of the state retains a strong tie to its southern surroundings while the further south you travel within the state the more can be experienced a strong blend of American and Latin American cultures.
Sights Families will enjoy the slew of kid-orientated attractions such as Disney World, SeaWorld and Universal Studios in Orlando and Busch Gardens in Tampa. Young or old though, there is something for every age in the Sunshine State, making it an all-round favourite for family holidays, groups of friends and lone travellers alike.
The Everglades is a must-see for naturalists, a national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site that is exceptionally beautiful. Home to wide variety of indigenous species, the Everglades protect the American crocodile, Florida panther and West Indian manatee and forbid the collecting of plants and animals, with the exception of sea shells.
Yachting Florida plays host to the biggest must-attend boat shows in America, including the Miami Yacht Show, the Palm Beach International Boat Show and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Dubbed the 'Monaco of Florida', the Miami Yacht Show is gaining increased recognition on the global stage as one of the largest and most significant shows for yachts and superyachts. Meanwhile, nearby Fort Lauderdale has consolidated its strong yachting reputation to match, with the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show recently extending its display to include a dedicated Superyacht Village.
Entry Points The main entry points into Florida are Orlando, Miami, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airports while the largest ports are in Port Canaveral, Tampa, Miami, Pinellas County as well as an array of areas throughout South Florida.

Top 5 Largest Yachts in The World
The Largest Yachts In The World 2020
Owning a yacht is an extreme privilege reserved for only the very rich and famous. What’s more luxurious than owning a yacht and even more extravagant than owning a superyacht? The answer is owning a super mega yacht! That dream is possible for the world’s most elite class in the 1%. Billionaires, oligarchs, and royal heads of state own some of the largest private yachts in the world.
As of 2020, the largest yacht in the world measures in at a whopping 592.6 feet! At these sizes, luxury yachts resemble cruise ships with numerous levels and hundreds of rooms. Here is the current list of the top 5 largest yachts in the world.
5. Dilbar – 511’ 8”
Built by German yacht builder Lürssen (a popular choice for those interested in owning a super mega yacht of their own!), the M/Y Dilbar was launched in 2016. Reportedly owned by Russian business magnate and billionaire Alisher Usmanov, this 512-foot vessel features two helicopter pads and an 82-foot swimming pool. With exteriors created by Espen Øino and interiors designed by Winch Design, this was one of the most challenging yacht builds due to the Dilbar’s sheer volume.
4. Dubai – 531’ 5”
Built by Platinum Yachts, the M/Y Dubai started as only a bare hull and superstructure of an abandoned yacht build commissioned for Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei. The hull was sold to the government of Dubai and construction work began again for the nation’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The sheikh’s royal yacht, delivered in 2006, can accommodate 24 guests and an 88-member crew. The vessel features seven decks, a 70-foot wide atrium, a submarine garage, and a landing pad for a Black Hawk helicopter.
3. Eclipse – 533’ 1”
Built by German shipbuilder Blohm+Voss, the M/Y Eclipse was delivered to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2010. With exteriors and interiors designed by Terence Disdale, this 533.1-foot yacht has 17 staterooms and a palatial master suite with a 185-foot owner’s deck. Other features include the capacity to hold three helicopters, six tenders, a spacious spa, and a large swimming pool that converts into a dance floor.
2. Fulk Al Salamah – 538’ 1”
Owned by the Omani royal family, this custom-built superyacht has been clouded in mystery ever since its conception. Its 538.1-foot length was estimated using AIS data. However, pictures of this enormous vessel leave little doubt that it deserves the number two place on the list of the largest private yachts in the world. More cruise ship than yacht, it was built by Italian yacht builder Mariotti Yachts and delivered in 2016 with an exterior designed by Studio de Jorio.
1. Azzam – 592’ 6”
Also built by Lürssen, this vessel currently sits in the top place for the longest private yacht in the world. Launched in 2013, the vessel was commissioned for the President of the United Arab Emirates and the Emir of Abu Dhabi, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. National engineer Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi directed a team of designers and engineers to create one of the most complex superyachts ever made. Nauta Yacht designed the exterior and Christophe Leoni designed the 19th century-inspired interiors.

Calendar of florida boat shows, you don’t have to be a boater to dream like one. check out this round-up of the biggest and best florida boat shows. .
By Lauren Tjaden
January | February | March | April | June | September | October | November | December
With more registered boats than any other state, endless places to boat and year-round good weather, Florida holds bragging rights as the pleasure boating capital of the World. So, it makes perfect sense that the Sunshine State has the most and best boat shows in the nation. Read on to discover what’s happening in your neck of the sandbar as well as tips to help you get the most out of your boat show experience.
Boat Show Tips
Looking for a boat can be a real challenge, with so many makes and models to choose from. A boat show can make your search easier by putting all of your choices in one location.
If you’re not in the market you can still enjoy these events. Most shows offer accessories as well as temptations like cedar deck chairs or island-style jewelry, as well as delectable food, educational seminars, and even live entertainment. Some of the larger shows, like Fort Lauderdale and Miami , are almost impossible to see in one day, so you may want to allow two or three days to explore them. It helps to get a map and a brochure when you buy your tickets, and then take a few minutes to see what’s on display before you set out walking. This will maximize your time and make your boat show experience more enjoyable.
THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY BOAT SHOW — The Charlotte County Fairgrounds is home to this four-day event, which boasts the largest exhibition of boats and marine products in the county.

It’s something the whole family can enjoy together.
