The largest superyachts publicly marketed for charter in 2026 now extend beyond 100 metres. This ranking uses current primary broker listings checked on 10 September.
The largest superyachts publicly advertised for charter in 2026 now extend well beyond 100 metres, combining the scale of private giga yachts with commercial charter programmes that can cost several million euros per week before APA, taxes and other variable expenses. This ranking uses current public listings from primary brokerage sources checked on 10 September 2026 rather than relying on secondary market round-ups.
Charter availability is inherently dynamic, so the list should be read as a dated public-market snapshot rather than a permanent catalogue of every yacht legally capable of charter. Some yachts are offered only selectively, some move between brokers, and others are marketed privately without a public web listing, which means transparency about the source date is essential.

- SOLANDGE — 85.1m — Lürssen, publicly listed by Edmiston from €1.15 million per week.
BREAKTHROUGH and NIXIE place the current public market firmly above the 100-metre threshold, with BREAKTHROUGH particularly notable as a 2025 Feadship offered at a headline weekly rate that begins at €3.5 million. NIXIE, delivered by Lürssen in 2026, follows at 102.4 metres and demonstrates how quickly a newly delivered large yacht can enter the international charter fleet.
CHRISTINA O and CARINTHIA VII show the other side of the market because very large charter yachts do not have to be new. Historic pedigree, extensive refits, accommodation volume and an established charter operation can keep older yachts commercially relevant long after their original delivery dates, especially when their scale and character cannot easily be replicated by newer vessels.
Weekly rates are not the final charter cost
The headline figures attached to the largest yachts are base charter rates rather than all-inclusive prices. APA, fuel, food, beverages, marina fees, local taxes, VAT where applicable, communications and repositioning can add significantly to the final bill, particularly when a 90–120 metre yacht follows an ambitious itinerary or spends several nights in premium marinas.
At this scale, fuel and port logistics can be substantial because the yacht may have several large tenders, multiple generators, extensive hotel systems and a crew numbering dozens. A client comparing two giga yachts should therefore ask the broker for an itinerary-based total estimate rather than assume that a €1.5 million weekly rate will lead to the same final expenditure on every vessel.
Special events can add further cost because berths during Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes, St Barths New Year or similar periods are scarce and may be priced separately. Some yachts also publish higher high-season or event rates, while others quote a single starting figure and prepare the actual proposal around the requested dates and cruising area.
Why very large yachts work differently on charter
A yacht above 90 metres offers more than extra cabins because gross tonnage can support cinemas, spas, gyms, treatment rooms, pools, beach clubs, multiple dining areas and substantial tender garages. The guest experience can therefore resemble a private resort that moves between destinations, with enough internal volume for several generations or groups to follow different routines without constantly sharing the same spaces.
The operational complexity rises at the same time. Berth choice becomes more restricted, pilotage and port planning can be more involved, and a deep draft or wide beam may force the yacht to anchor outside smaller harbours where a 50-metre vessel could go alongside. Large tenders become essential to move guests comfortably between the yacht and shore.
Crew numbers also increase because service quality depends on separate deck, engineering, interior, galley and command teams working around the clock. This can improve the guest-to-crew ratio and enable more simultaneous activities, but it also helps explain why the operating expenditure funded through APA can be so much higher than on smaller charter yachts.
Mediterranean and Caribbean programmes
Many of the largest charter yachts migrate seasonally between the Mediterranean and Caribbean, following client demand and climate. Summer itineraries may focus on the French and Italian Rivieras, Greece, Croatia, Spain or Turkey, while winter programmes move toward the Caribbean or Bahamas, often with transatlantic positioning scheduled between the two seasons.
That movement does not mean every yacht is available in every region at all times. Charter calendars can include owner use, maintenance, yard periods and existing bookings, so a yacht appearing in a broker search should still be checked for the exact week and embarkation area before the client builds flights or events around it.
For very large yachts, repositioning can be a major commercial issue because moving a vessel hundreds or thousands of miles to meet a charter party can consume fuel and block other bookings. Brokers therefore try to match enquiries with the yacht’s existing programme, and clients who can be flexible about embarkation often have more options.
What makes a giga-yacht charter attractive?
The strongest argument is privacy at scale. A group can have a large professional crew, extensive wellness and entertainment facilities, several tenders and water toys, and multiple indoor and outdoor spaces without sharing any of them with unrelated guests, which is fundamentally different from even the most exclusive cruise ship or resort.
Large yachts can also carry equipment that would be impractical on smaller vessels, from serious dive setups and large chase tenders to helicopters or extensive sports facilities where the yacht and regulations permit them. For families or corporate groups, the ability to separate quiet areas from active spaces can make the size useful rather than merely impressive.
The disadvantage is that size can reduce intimacy with small ports and shallow anchorages, so the largest yacht is not automatically the best yacht for every itinerary. A client whose priority is entering tiny Mediterranean harbours may be better served by a smaller vessel, while someone who wants a self-contained floating estate may value the capabilities of a 90–120 metre yacht much more highly.
How this ranking should be used
The ranking combines public primary listings from Edmiston and Fraser checked on 10 September 2026 and orders the yachts by published length overall. It does not claim to identify every charter yacht in private circulation, and it should not be used as a substitute for a broker’s live availability search for specific dates.
Rates are included only where a current primary listing supplied a clear starting figure during the research pass, and the absence of a price in this article does not imply that a yacht is cheaper, more expensive or unavailable. Charter quotations remain date-, region- and itinerary-specific, particularly at the very top of the market.
The larger point is that the charter fleet now contains genuinely giga-scale yachts rather than merely 50–70 metre vessels described as large. With BREAKTHROUGH at 118.8 metres and NIXIE above 100 metres publicly marketed in 2026, clients can charter at a scale that only a small number of private owners could access a generation ago.
