Superyacht sales have reached record levels as the soaring wealth of the world’s richest people during the pandemic has led to a boom in orders. More than a thousand superyachts are under construction worldwide, eclipsing the previous highest level of orders seen in 2009, according to figures in the latest Global Order Book, published by the magazine Boat International. A superyacht is considered a leisure vessel more than 24 metres in length, with the largest – the Azzam, owned by the UAE leader Khalifa Al Nahyan – spanning 180 metres.
