Azzam
The longest delivered private motor yacht in the world, widely reported to be linked to Abu Dhabi's ruling family. Known for combining her scale with an unusually high top speed for a yacht of this size.
Ranking · By length overall (LOA)
The top 25 largest superyachts in the world
Ranked by length overall (LOA), the metric most commonly used for these lists, though gross tonnage (internal volume) can reorder things — Dilbar and Fulk Al Salamah, for instance, are often cited as larger than their length rank suggests once internal volume is factored in.
This is a snapshot, not a fixed fact: new deliveries reshuffle these rankings most years, and a handful of even larger projects — including the 194.9m expedition vessel REV Ocean — are in build or finishing outfitting and expected to join this list on delivery. Ownership of large yachts is often held through corporate or trust structures, so the attributions below reflect what's been widely reported rather than confirmed public registration.
Ranks 1–10
The largest of the large
Fulk Al Salamah
Associated with the Omani royal fleet and often cited as the largest yacht in the world by internal volume (gross tonnage), even though several vessels exceed her in length.
Eclipse
Held the title of world's largest yacht for three years after delivery. Widely reported to be linked to a Russian billionaire owner, and known for an unusually extensive suite of security features.
Dubai
A long-running build project completed for the ruler of Dubai after an earlier ownership change partway through construction.
Blue
One of the most recent entries into the top tier by length, notable for pairing large scale with more modern hybrid propulsion and emissions-reduction systems than older yachts of similar size.
Dilbar
Shorter than several yachts above her on this list, but frequently cited as the largest private motor yacht in the world by gross tonnage (internal volume) rather than length.
Al Said
Built for the Omani royal fleet and distinguished by an onboard concert hall reportedly large enough for a full orchestra — an unusual feature even at this size class.
A+ (ex Topaz)
Delivered under the name Topaz before later being renamed; one of several very large Lürssen-built yachts associated with Gulf royal ownership.
Opera
One of the newest yachts in the very largest size tier, reported to have changed hands within the same royal family shortly after delivery.
El Mahrousa
By far the oldest yacht on this list — an Egyptian presidential and naval vessel dating to the 19th century, and reportedly the first ship to transit the Suez Canal at its 1869 opening.

On rankings: Length overall is the most common ranking metric, but it isn't the only one — gross tonnage (a measure of enclosed volume) and displacement can produce a meaningfully different order. A shorter, beamier yacht can have more usable interior space than a longer, narrower one. Treat any single "biggest yacht" list, including this one, as one useful lens rather than a definitive answer.
Compiled from publicly reported shipyard delivery records and industry-press rankings, current as of mid-2026. Figures and rankings change as new yachts are delivered, refitted, renamed, or reclassified — verify current specifics with the builder or a licensed broker before relying on any figure here.
