The Biggest Superyacht Deliveries to Watch in 2026

The global superyacht industry continues to push engineering, design and sustainability boundaries, and while 2025 has already delivered extraordinary yachts—including two 111-metre Oceancos (Leviathan and DreAMBoat), Feadship's 100-metre flagships (Pi and Moonrise), and Admiral's 78-metre Amalya—2026 is shaping up to be even more remarkable.

From the largest yacht ever built to some of the world's most technologically advanced fuel-cell superyachts, 2026 will mark a defining year for the ultra-luxury maritime sector. Below, we explore the most anticipated superyacht deliveries scheduled for 2026, based on confirmed shipyard data and BOATPro insights.

REV Ocean – The World's Largest Superyacht

Builder: Vard

Length: 194.9m

The undisputed headline yacht of 2026 is REV Ocean, set to become the largest superyacht in the world upon delivery in Q4 2026. With an impressive gross tonnage of 19,235GT and an overall length of 194.9 metres, this research-vessel-turned-superyacht has experienced a construction timeline exceeding eight years.

Designed by Espen Øino with interiors by H2 Yacht Design, REV Ocean was last seen arriving at Damen Shiprepair Vlissingen in March for an extensive 15–18 month outfitting phase.

Project Vela – A Mysterious Sailing Giant

Builder: Brodotrogir

Length: 130m

Project Vela remains one of the most secretive yacht builds currently underway. Initially announced in 2022 and started at Brodosplit, construction later transferred to Croatian shipyard Brodotrogir, where work continues under strict confidentiality.

Despite limited public details, the 130-meter sailing superyacht is expected to accommodate 12 guests and 50 crew members. According to BOATPro, delivery is projected for 2026, making Project Vela one of the largest sailing yachts ever built.

Project Tanzanite – Amels' Largest Yacht Ever

Builder: Amels

Length: 120m

Project Tanzanite is set to rewrite Dutch superyacht history as the largest motor yacht ever built in the Netherlands. Measuring 120 meters with a volume of 6,083GT, the yacht surpassed Here Comes The Sun to become the new Amels flagship.

Exterior styling comes from Espen Øino, while interiors were designed by Zuretti Design. Sea trials in the North Sea revealed her signature structured decks and geometric window arrangement. Delivery is scheduled for 2026, further solidifying Amels' leadership in large-scale yacht construction.

Boardwalk – Lürssen's American-Commissioned Giant

Builder: Lürssen

Length: 117m

Formerly known as hull 13797, Boardwalk was commissioned in 2022 by an experienced American owner. With an estimated gross tonnage of 5,350GT, the yacht will become the 20th largest vessel ever delivered by Lürssen, exceeding the length of Ahpo by 1.9 metres.

True to form, Lürssen has kept most specifications confidential, but BOATPro confirms a 2026 delivery timeline.

Project Cosmos – Fuel-Cell Innovation Meets Design

Builder: Lürssen

Length: 114.2m

Project Cosmos represents a major technological leap forward for the superyacht industry. Designed by renowned industrial designer Marc Newson, the yacht features an explorer-style profile, extensive curved glass and a striking glass dome housing the owner's private study.

Beyond aesthetics, the yacht is among the first superyachts in the world to utilize methanol fuel-cell technology, equipped with two 500kW fuel cells that allow a cruising speed of seven knots and a range of 1,000 nautical miles. Delivery is anticipated in 2026.

Project Incógnita – Freire's Flagship Build

Builder: Freire

Length: 107m

Launched in June from Spain, Project Incógnita—formerly NB-729—is expected to be delivered in 2026. The steel and aluminum yacht spans six decks and is projected to have a 3,999GT volume.

Freire secured the contract in July 2021, and while public details remain limited, the yacht's scale positions it as one of Spain's most significant superyacht projects.

Project Shackleton (Icecap) – Built for Exploration

Builder: Lürssen

Length: ~109m (expected)

Also known as Project Icecap, Project Shackleton is a highly specialized exploration yacht featuring an ice-classed hull, ax bow design, open aft cargo deck and heli-hangar.

Construction has exceeded seven years, with recent design modifications including an additional helideck. While the final dimensions are still to be confirmed, delivery is expected in 2026.

Project Jassi – RWD-Designed Luxury

Builder: Lürssen

Length: 103m

Sold by Moran Yacht & Ship in 2021, Project Jassi was technically launched in December 2023 from Lürssen's Rendsburg facility. Designed by RWD, the yacht is expected to offer 3,420GT of volume, a side-opening tender garage and a main deck aft swimming pool.

She remains under wraps, but BOATPro lists delivery for 2026.

Project 1014 – Feadship's Next 100-Meter Class

Builder: Feadship

Length: 101.2m

Feadship's Project 1014 entered outfitting in November 2024 at the Makkum facility. The yacht features generous overhangs, hull cutouts and smooth curved lines reminiscent of Faith, Viva and Tango.

With an estimated gross tonnage of 3,840GT, the superyacht is firmly scheduled for delivery in 2026.

Hull 597 – Admiral's New Flagship

Builder: Admiral (The Italian Sea Group)

Length: 100m

Formerly known as Project Titanium, Hull 597 will become Admiral's largest yacht to date. Outfitting began in Marina di Carrara, with Winch Design responsible for both exterior and interior styling.

The yacht will feature diesel-electric propulsion with Azipods, a certified helicopter landing pad, a large swimming pool, spa facilities and a multi-deck saloon. Delivery is expected in 2026.

With unprecedented size, cutting-edge sustainability solutions and bold design innovation, 2026 is set to become a landmark year for superyacht deliveries. From the colossal REV Ocean to pioneering fuel-cell technology and ice-class explorers, these new builds highlight the future direction of the global superyacht industry.

For owners, brokers and enthusiasts alike, the coming years promise a new era of maritime excellence.
