What Is a Megayacht?

A megayacht is a private vessel starting at 50 meters in length, representing the pinnacle of luxury yachting. Every project is entirely bespoke — from deck layouts and hull architecture to interior design — crafted to the owner’s exact specifications.

These yachts are equipped with advanced engines, navigation systems, and onboard technology, enabling transoceanic voyages without refueling.

The level of comfort matches the finest private residences, with features such as pools, spas, cinemas, gyms, and helipads. A professional crew — from the captain and engineers to the chef and service staff — ensures smooth operations and world-class hospitality.

Key Features of Megayachts

• Size and status— large hull dimensions allow for spacious interiors and multiple decks.

• Comfort— pools, spas, helipads, gyms, and cinemas turn the yacht into a floating resort.

• Autonomy— extended range enables thousands of nautical miles without refueling and true intercontinental cruising.

• Crew and service— a dedicated team of professionals, including captain, engineers, chefs, stewards, and caretakers, ensures flawless performance and onboard service.

Types of Megayachts

The way a megayacht is used defines its layout, equipment, and technical features:

• Charter megayachts— designed for rentals, with spacious cabins, generous social areas, and plenty of entertainment for guests. The main focus is on comfort and versatility.

• Private megayachts— fully customized projects. Interiors, layouts, and equipment are tailored to the owner’s lifestyle and preferred cruising routes.

• Expedition megayachts— built for long-range, autonomous voyages. Reinforced hulls, larger fuel tanks, and specialized equipment make them suitable for challenging regions, while still offering a high level of comfort.

• Sport megayachts— optimized for speed and performance, capable of crossing oceans faster than most vessels of their class.

Design & Equipment of Megayachts

Building a megayacht is a collaboration of international teams of engineers, architects, and designers, where every detail balances technology, reliability, and comfort.

• Hull— usually steel, with aluminum superstructures. This combination provides durability, strength, and reduced weight.

• Technology— modern megayachts feature stabilizers, energy recovery systems, and eco-friendly engines.

• Navigation & Safety— equipped with satellite systems, automated controls, and full emergency evacuation setups.

• Comfort— interiors are created by leading design studios using premium materials. Panoramic windows and thoughtful layouts give a sense of space, while smart systems for lighting and climate ensure maximum onboard comfort.

Buying a Megayacht

Key steps in purchasing a megayacht:

• Inspection & survey— an independent expert checks the hull, engines, electronics, and equipment to provide an objective assessment of the yacht’s condition.

• Sea trial— sea testing gives a complete picture of system performance and vessel handling.

• Legal support— transaction terms are documented, deposits are placed, ownership is registered, and the flag is selected.

Shestakov Yacht Sales oversees every stage of the process. Lead broker Andrey Shestakov personally handles each matter himself.

Andrey conducts market analysis, evaluates technical condition, negotiates with sellers, and brings the deal through to final yacht registration under the chosen flag.
