Today’s yacht builders are pushing the limits of design and innovation, creating small superyachts that deliver the spacious feel and amenities of much larger vessels.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned seafarer seeking something more manageable, these yachts prove that you don’t need a massive footprint to enjoy premium living. From clever storage solutions to full-beam master suites, these 40 to 95-foot yachts pack in everything you need for extended cruising, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying the serenity of the open sea.

It has five staterooms, a full-beam main hall, and a sky lounge, all of which are decorated with high-gloss wood, leather, and fine marble.

The flybridge is an extra place for people to hang out and can be used for eating, sunbathing, or even as an outdoor kitchen. The Navetta 52’s layout feels more like an apartment on the water than a boat because of how well the space is used and how few walls there are inside.
