What’s the difference between a yacht, a superyacht and a megayacht?

All three are generally luxurious, but the difference is size.

  • Yachts: There’s no standard definition, but it usually applies to ships with a cabin intended for overnight use that are at least 33 feet (about 10 meters) in length. Aesthetics also plays a part.

  • Superyachts: A yacht that is typically between 79 feet (24 meters) to around 197 feet (60 meters) in length.

  • Megayachts: A yacht that is more than 197 feet in length. These can reach up to 590 feet (nearly 180 meters) or more, although the really big ones are starting to get called:

  • Gigayachts: A yacht that is 328 feet (50 meters) long or longer.

No, despite Shad Khan’s Kismet’s impressive size, it’s still not in the top 25 largest in the world.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ $500 million, 417-foot megayacht Koru is so large a Dutch port city had to dismantle an historic bridge to let it go by, and it’s not in the top 25.

The largest yacht in the world, according to boatinternational.com, is the Azzam, a staggering 590-foot (180.6 meters) long ship reportedly built for Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan of Abu Dhabi’s royal family.

The rest of the yachts on the list also belong to Middle Eastern royalty, billionaires or governments. Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly owns multiple yachts, including the 459-foot Scheherazade.
