There has been plenty of activity in recent months as superyachts head to the final events of 2017 or prepare for winter in the Bahamas and the Caribbean. Photographed in action, here are five exceptional luxury yachts to watch out for over the winter season.
Dilbar
Spotted in the Porto Cervo in September, 156m/512ft superyacht DILBAR from Lurssen dwarfed all other luxury yachts at the marina. Capable of accommodating up to 24 guests across 12 cabins, she comes equipped with two helipads, a sauna steam room, massage room, cinema and a swimming pool. M/Y DILBAR has an impressive crew of 96 and also won two awards in 2017:
World Superyacht Awards 2017
Best Displacement Motor Yacht of 3,000GT and above (approximately 85m+)

TV
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show earlier this month was an excellent time to capture superyachts up close and looking their best, including luxury yacht TV (ex.MADSUMMER) from Lurssen. This 78m/257ft superyacht was built in 2008 with her last refitted in 2015, and she is a popular choice for charter due to her unrivalled wealth of amenities, including status as a PADI Certified Dive Centre and a massive collection of water toys, a spa, sauna, beauty room, swimming pool and a cinema.

Amaryllis
The incredible art noveau superyacht AMARYLLIS was seen cruising along the coast of Falmouth in the UK in late October, taking in the sights and treating guests to sumptuous meals from an award-winning chef. As a PADI Certified Dive Centre and an Approved RYA Water Sports Centre, luxury yacht AMARYLLIS is an excellent charter yacht for those looking to make the most of their holiday and earn skills to last a lifetime.
