YachtBuyer - Hall of Fame 2025 Winners

The 2025 class of the YachtBuyer Hall of Fame represents the yachts that secured their place through reviews and sea trials conducted during the year. As a permanent showcase, the Hall features detailed profiles, trial footage, and insights into what sets these inductees apart.

Collectively, they embody the gold standard of yacht ownership and reinforce YachtBuyer’s mission to empower buyers with trusted, evidence-based insights. The Hall of Fame will continue to evolve as future reviews uncover yachts worthy of the benchmark, cementing its place as the definitive record of excellence in the industry.

The YB Hall of Fame forms part of YachtBuyer’s launch of the YB 5 Star Trophies, awarded to production and semi-custom yachts that achieve a perfect 5-star score in the company’s rigorous review system. Unlike traditional awards based on subjective judging panels or paid entries, these trophies are earned exclusively through in-depth, unbiased evaluations. Every yacht undergoes demanding sea trials and inspections, with scoring across categories such as Design & Build, Interior Accommodation, Helm Stations, On Deck features, and Value for Money. Achieving a flawless overall score is exceedingly rare, ensuring that only the very best yachts are recognized.
