M/Y Azzam, seen here in Cadiz, Spain, during the summer of 2020, is  the world's longest luxury yacht

This list of motor yachts by length, is a table of the world's longest active superyachts, with an overall length of at least 75 metres (246 ft).

These boats are also known as "megayachts", "gigayachts" and even "terayachts", usually depending on length.[1][2][3] It has been generally accepted by naval architects and industry executives that superyachts range from 37 m (≈120 ft) to 60 m (≈200 ft), while those over 60 m are known as megayachts and boats over 90 m (≈300 ft) have been referred to as giga-yachts.[4][5]

This list includes both vessels owned by heads of state and those owned by individuals or companies. Excluded are the new residential "gigayachts" such as The World or Somnio, which are in a class of their own, halfway between a private yacht and an ocean liner.

Pleasure vessels longer than 24 m (78.75 ft) are required to have a licensed skipper on board under UK regulations.[6]

Notes

Yacht seizures

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, many countries announced sanctions against Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin, along with a group of men known as Russian oligarchs, that are close friends as well as business and political allies of Putin. The sanctions have led to the seizure of their bank accounts and properties through civil forfeiture, (outside of Russia and non-participating countries), including yachts, private jets, expensive artworks, luxury homes, etc., alleging these assets to be the proceeds of crime. All these assets are to be auctioned off, for the benefit of the people of Ukraine.[7]

Misc. notes

[Note 1]Atlantis II and Navtilvs were built as part of a trio of sister ships, though the third was never completed.[8]
