About a decade ago, 43 meters (141 feet) was considered big for a megayacht. I remember interviewing a leading stylist and interior designer back then, and he was shaking his head at the contracts for custom 150-footers he was just beginning to receive.CRN's Emerald StarFunny how quickly things change.

Nearly 200 square feet of space is devoted to the saloon and the 12-seat dining area, making for quite a comfortable feel when entertaining groups.

Here’s the gym just inside the beach platform – the same area some owners will turn into an extra saloon. The glass doors can be kept open if desired.

The private terrace in the owner’s suite aboard Emerald Star is an attention-getter.

The smoked-glass window (locked overhead) can be used for privacy.

The dual-entry master head places a large shower at center.

Even the owner’s office is a pleasing place.

A pantry door behind the bar permits servicing both the skylounge and the alfresco dining area.

The extended bridge deck shades the main aft deck.

The engineer’s monitoring area has well-laid-out panels and screens.

Since the transom is dedicated to the gym, Emerald Star’s tender gets stowed beneath a foredeck hatch.

The pilothouse looks and feels more spacious than that of many yachts in the 140-foot range.

A side profile shot of a modern, white Sunseeker 82 Ocean luxury motor yacht cruising at speed across open water. The vessel features striking black-tinted window bands along its multi-deck hull and a black hardtop structure over its upper deck flybridge. It kicks up a substantial white spray and wake as it glides under a soft pink, purple, and gold sunset sky, with a British Red Ensign flag flying from the stern.

Sunseeker 82 Ocean

A medium shot from inside an enclosed boat helm station featuring a smiling, bearded man sitting at the steering wheel. He is looking off to the right, wearing blue-mirrored sunglasses, a blue baseball cap underneath a grey beanie, and a hooded blue digital-camouflage jacket. Large glass windows and an overhead skylight panel surround the cabin, offering a view out over choppy water toward a distant, tree-lined shoreline under a bright sky.

Charter Ready, Life Proof

An aerial, high-angle three-quarter shot of a white center-console power catamaran cruising through green water, leaving a foaming white wake behind its twin hulls. Two men are on board, with the driver at the helm station beneath a black T-top canopy. The boat features tan upholstered seating, including an open bow lounge area and a rear-facing cockpit bench. The aft deck is finished with a light brown faux-teak swim platform extension flanking twin black outboard engines.

Volare Artemis 23

A low-angle, three-quarter view from the water looking up at a white Invictus ST55 luxury motor yacht idling on calm blue seas. A couple sits relaxing on the spacious aft sunpad deck outside the enclosed main cabin, which features dark tinted windows and black radar domes on the roof. The yacht's modern design includes a fold-down bulwark terrace extended on the starboard side just above the waterline, set against a bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds.
