Modern aerodynamic hull shapes, brand new sails, a fresh interior, and polished decks — these are the features of the newest yachts entering the charter market in 2025. Which yachts offer the best of the best for your next adventure? We’ve selected 19 of the latest models from the top yacht manufacturers. With over 200 new yachts available, there's plenty to choose from.
Pros and cons of the latest yacht models
Before we dive into the details of specific boats, let's consider why you should (or shouldn't) opt for the latest models.
- Fast ride: New yachts come with modern hull shapes designed by marine engineers, and they aren't yet covered with marine growth. This means you might sail faster than you're used to compared to older yachts.
- Packed with gadgets: If you enjoy sweating in the heat, using an outdated plotter, or dealing with an unreliable autopilot, then a new yacht isn't for you. Modern yachts are equipped with the latest technology, making life on board easier and more enjoyable during your holiday.
- They won't even introduce themselves!: The newest yachts really hit the market in their production year, meaning some may not even have a name yet. So, if you're set on sailing the Maria or Adriana, a brand-new 2025 yacht might not be for you. But if you don’t mind sailing on a "no-name" yacht, go for it!
- Small risk factor: There is a small risk when chartering a brand-new yacht — it may not always be ready in time. While this is rare, it can happen. But don’t worry, we’ll always help you find a similar yacht if needed, and no client has ever been left disappointed. It's part of the charter industry, but the advantages of choosing a new yacht far outweigh this minor risk.
