As with many official “best of” lists and ultra-luxe competitions like any good Concours, judges of the World Superyacht awards have to comb through the finest of details to find out which truly is the best. And in the case of superyachts it isn’t unlike judging a luxury hotel — if that hotel happened to have a massive engine that could propel it across large bodies of water. The awards themselves “recognize the remarkable ingenuity and innovation demanded by the design, engineering and construction of the world’s finest luxury yachts.” It’s no small feat to decide which yachts win, but it’s an incredible honor to have bestowed upon your vessel. This year’s ceremony took place this past weekend at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy, and these are the 18 winners.
