Breakthrough’s 2025 sale was arranged within Edmiston & Company, with Jamie Edmiston representing the seller and Alexander Busher introducing the buyer, making it one of the year’s most closely watched transactions. At 118.8 m and 7,247 GT, she is the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands and currently ranks 29th in the YachtBuyer YB100, YachtBuyer’s index of the world’s biggest yachts by gross tonnage.

Delivered in 2025 to designs by RWD with naval architecture by De Voogt, Breakthrough is also the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell superyacht, capable of running hotel loads with zero emissions. The scale and specification of the Feadship yacht set new benchmarks, from a full owner’s deck with dual suites, offices, and a forward jacuzzi, to a semi-submerged Nemo lounge, cinema, and library. Fourteen balconies, seven side platforms, and an 8.2 m infinity pool add to the lifestyle appeal. The transaction underscored the market’s appetite for recent, pioneering Northern European flagships.

Flying Fox’s off-market deal instantly set the tone for 2025 brokerage, not only for her size but for the rarity of such a vessel coming available. Long regarded as the world’s largest charter yacht, the 136 m Lürssen yacht provides vast interior volume suitable for 25 guests, making her one of only a handful of yachts capable of this scale of operation. Her discreet sale, believed to involve a buyer in the UAE, came after years of restricted charter access and reinforced her position as a blue-chip asset in an exclusive category. Beyond her scale, Flying Fox is known for her 12 m transverse swimming pool, 400 m² two-deck spa with cryosauna, and a cinema fitted with D-Box motion seating - amenities that set her apart even in the rarefied world of megayachts. 

Ranked 19th in the Yachtbuyer YB100 of the world's biggest yachts by gross tonnage, her transaction highlights both the scarcity and enduring demand for Northern European pedigree yachts at the very top of the market.

Ahpo’s 2025 sale was handled jointly by Moran Yacht & Ship and Edmiston, who represented the seller- a pairing that helped bring one of the year’s most high-profile deals to a close. The transaction drew attention for its rarity value: a 115m Lurssen with a full custom pedigree and a gross tonnage of 5,257 GT moving on the brokerage market. Built in 2021 to a Nuvolari Lenard design, she represents one of the most recent Northern European flagships of her size to change hands, which helps explain the premium. 

Her scale and specification are compelling, from forward and aft certified helipads and an upper-deck glass-edged pool with counter-current, to a private two-level owner’s suite and an elevated gym with sweeping views. A 12-seat cinema, a beach club that opens to a true sea terrace, and award-winning wellness spaces round out the appeal. 

Les Cinq, delivered in 2025, became one of the year’s most notable brokerage sales when she was sold under the name One just weeks after delivery. Designed by De Voogt with interiors by Gilles & Boissier, she spans 1,750 GT across four decks and balances bold exterior lines with a coastal-inspired interior of lime-washed wood and stone. Standout amenities include a main deck pool with a glass bottom filtering light into the beach club, a full wellness center with gym and sauna on the bridge deck, and a private owner’s deck with a terrace jacuzzi and helipad.

Her asking price reflects both her scarcity as a brand-new custom Feadship and the growing importance of the yard’s dedicated Resale platform, which oversaw the transaction alongside Burgess and Edmiston.

Savannah’s 2025 sale was overseen by Edmiston & Company in collaboration with Feadship, with Andrew Bond and Arjen van Elk representing the seller and Jonathan Barbe introducing the buyer. The 83.5 m Feadship was notable not only for her award-winning pedigree but also for her pioneering status as the world’s first hybrid superyacht. Delivered in 2015 and refitted in 2024, the motor yacht spans 2,305 GT with exterior design by Feadship and CG Design and interiors by CG Design.

Savannah is instantly recognizable for her metallic sea-foam hull and eco-driven engineering, capable of running in multiple hybrid modes with up to 30 percent fuel savings. Standout amenities include her semi-submerged Nemo Lounge, a 9 m pool cascading into a vast beach club, and a glass-walled owner’s suite beneath a skylight.

New Dream’s 2025 sale, managed on both sides by Edmiston & Company with Jonathan Barbe representing the seller and Charles Carveles introducing the buyer, stood out as one of the year’s headline brokerage deals. Delivered in 2017 on the Amels 242 platform, the 74 m yacht offers 1,790 GT of volume with Tim Heywood’s exterior design and Winch Design interiors.

Highlights on board the Amels yacht include a 240 m² private owner’s deck with foredeck retreat, an eight-meter pool aft, and a beach club tied to a spa, gym, sauna, and steam room. Practical touches also run deep, from the enlarged helipad and dedicated pilot cabin to a spacious tender garage. 

Wingman’s 2025 transaction brought one of Damen Yachting’s most distinctive conversions onto the brokerage stage, with Burgess’ Tim Vickers representing the seller and Edmiston’s Charles Carveles introducing the buyer. Delivered in 2022 as Naghi 1000 and sold this year as U-81, the 80 m vessel carries an impressive 3,040 GT, ranking her 83rd in the YB100.

Originally built as an offshore support platform, she was converted by Damen Yachting with exterior styling by Azure Yacht Design into a hybrid role of utility yacht and support vessel. Her profile remains purposeful, defined by a recessed aft deck, forward helipad, and heavy-duty crane for tenders and chase boats. Onboard, she accommodates eight guests in four suites alongside a crew of 26, underscoring her operational scope.

Amaryllis’ 2025 sale was handled by Merle Wood & Associates alongside Moravia Yachting and Burgess, with Merle Wood and Adam-Michael Papadakis representing the seller and Papadakis also introducing the buyer. Delivered in 2011 by Abeking & Rasmussen and refitted in 2022, the 78.4 m yacht spans 2,108 GT with exterior and interior design by Reymond Langton. Her appeal lies in both craftsmanship and character, drawing on Belle Époque, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco influences across five decks.

The yacht accommodates 12 guests in six suites, including a full-beam owner’s suite with panoramic windows, while lifestyle features include a multi-functional beach club, glass elevator, wellness facilities, and a sundeck Jacuzzi. Known for her elegant navy-and-white profile and lavish interiors by Silverlining, Amaryllis delivers a pedigree build and distinctive artistry that continues to resonate on the brokerage market.

Batello’s 2025 sale was handled by Burgess, Y.CO, and Edmiston & Company, with Matt Pinckney, Ben Bartlett, and Charles Carveles representing the seller, while IYC introduced the buyer. The deal brought one of Oceanco’s landmark 80 m yachts back into the spotlight following a major refit the same year. Originally launched in 2007 as Amevi and sold this year under Aalto, the 2,310 GT vessel was the first of Oceanco’s 700-series yachts, with exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and interiors by Alberto Pinto.

Amenities range from a contra-flow glass-backed pool and twin jacuzzis to a cinema, spa, and expansive beach club, while accommodation for 18 guests includes a full-beam owner’s suite with private lounge and terrace.

S5’s 2025 sale was arranged by Edmiston & Company, with Simon Goldsworthy representing the seller, while FGI Yacht Group’s Frank Grzeszczak and Barbara Stork Landeweer acted for the buyer. Delivered in 2021 as Resilience and sold under the same name this year, the 64.76 m ISA Classic 65 brings 1,401 GT of volume and a specification tailored to both private and charter use. Designed inside and out by Team 4 Design, she is distinguished by a 6 m pool with glass panels and waterfall illuminating the 180 m² beach club below, alongside a sauna, massage room, and wellness features more often seen on larger yachts.

The full-beam master suite includes two private balconies and dual en suites, while the versatile sundeck can open or enclose around a spa pool and barbecue area. A bridge-deck lounge with bar and baby grand piano adds character, while the ISA yacht's 5,500 nm range at 11 knots underlines S5’s long-distance capability.

The brokerage market in 2025 has crystallized around three themes: scarcity, specification, and speed. Asking prices across the top ten averaged more than €170 million, but the spread between deals highlights how different factors shape value. Les Cinq set the year’s highest benchmark at €98,571 per GT, reflecting her status as a brand-new Feadship delivered in 2025, while Damen Yachting’s conversion Wingman changed hands at just €32,894 per GT. This gap underscores the premium commanded by freshly delivered Northern European flagships versus the comparative accessibility of repurposed or older tonnage.

Feadship’s presence with three major sales - Breakthrough, Les Cinq, and Savannah - illustrates its position at the center of demand, particularly for yachts that pair design pedigree with engineering milestones. Breakthrough’s €645 million deal, arranged within Edmiston & Company, was the year’s largest both by price and by technical achievement as the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell yacht.

Taken together, these ten sales reveal a market operating at the sharpest end of scarcity economics. With landmark figures achieved and new technologies entering the brokerage sphere, 2025 is already shaping up as one of the most defining years in recent memory.
