Despite being only five months into the year, 2024 has already proven to be highly exciting for the superyacht industry.

In light of this, Superyachts.com takes a look at the five largest yachts to be sold in 2024, showcasing the very best of the brokerage market so far this year.

As the 2023 calendar year draws to a close, we take a look at five superyachts that have recently joined the brokerage market. From large luxury vessels to notable performance yachts, the market is ending the year with some spectacular vessels available for sale.
