Luxury and opulence take a concrete form when discussing the world’s largest yachts. With helipads, spas, onboard swimming pools, cinemas, and more, the world’s largest yachts can easily outshine your glamorous five-star hotels. But all of these yachts are more than just an emblem of wealth; these vessels are feats in expert engineering and design. Only a select few shipyards, designers, and naval architects worldwide can take up the challenge of this magnitude.
Now that we are here let’s look at some of the largest yachts of 2025. Even though the largest yacht is more accurately determined by its displacement and volume, today, we will be looking at the top 25 largest vessels by length.
1. El Mahrousa
We start the list with a name that has been here for more than a century. Launched in 1865, the Samuda Brothers originally built this 145.72 meter-long yacht for Khedive Ismail, the Ottoman governor of Egypt. The name El Mahrousa roughly translates to “The Protected,” but she was also briefly called El Horreya (translated to the word “Freedom”). Her external features were designed by renowned British naval architect Sir Oliver Lang who had previously created some of the finest British navy ships in the 19th century. This Egyptian presidential yacht has a rich history and has undergone several refurbishments. It is one of the oldest active superyachts and is tended for by the Egyptian navy. She rarely leaves her home berth in Alexandria apart from special occasions two to three times each year.
Regarding her specs, her top speed is 16 knots, and her cruising speed is around 10 knots. She obtains her power from three Parsons steam turbine engines, a gross tonnage of 4560.0 GT, and a 12.98 m beam. This vessel was also the first ship ever to cross the Suez Canal back in 1869 and has now been transformed into a naval training ship for the Egyptian government.
2. A+
Formerly known as Topaz, A+ was launched by Lürssen in 2012, a titan in the yacht building industry at an incredible 147.25 meters in length. This yacht belongs to Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, Emirati royalty, deputy prime minister of the UAE, and the Manchester City Football Club owner. She has some of the most exquisite Disdale exterior designs and magnificent interiors crafted by the famed Tim Heywood Design.
She can also accommodate up to 62 guests and 79 crew members in her spacious interiors. It is also reported that A+ took about four years and more than £400 million to be built.
Her top speed is 22.9 knots, and she has a cruising speed of 19.5 knots, which is impressive considering her size. Her power comes from four MTU diesel engines with a gross tonnage of 12500.0 GT and a 21.5 m beam.
Like most yachts owned by royals, not much is disclosed to the public apart from the primary features, but this yacht has earned its spot on the top 25 list.
3. Al Said
Another mega yacht from the Lürssen yard, Al Said, is a 155-meter motor yacht launched in 2008. Her stylish exterior was designed by Espen Øino International, while Redman Whitely Dixon crafted her magnificent interior.
Formerly codenamed “Project Sunflower,” this work of art belongs to one of the richest men in the world, Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said of Oman, and was created as a replacement for a smaller mega yacht with the same name.
This yacht also has a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure with a 5.20-meter draft and a beam of 24 meters. With the help of 2 MTU engines, she achieves a cruising speed of 22 knots and obtains a top speed of 25 knots.
Even though not much is revealed regarding the yacht’s interior, she is known to accommodate up to 70 guests and 154 professional crew members. She features a concert room that can easily accommodate a 50-piece orchestra.

Espen Øino International designed the yacht’s exterior, while her interior was developed by the Winch Design team, known for using rare and exclusive luxury materials. This yacht has also been dubbed one of the most intricate and challenging yachts ever built, both in terms of dimensions and technology.

The vessel now belongs to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.

It should also be able to travel at full speed in warm and shallow waters without altering guests’ experience.
Despite her size, she has an unprecedented top speed of around 31.5 knots because of the gas turbine engines that work at 94,000 horsepower. She was also built in merely three years, adding to the record of one of the quickest-built mega yachts.
