A megayacht reflects the individual personality-not to mention wealth-of its discerning owner. The best expression of luxury is most often found within the finest details. These cleverly constructed sculptures made of the finest wood and most exquisite materials are combined with the very highest level of craftsmanship. By far, the megayachts featured on the following pages are the most luxurious vessels that have ever caressed the water.
