These are the most exciting yachts of 2023

Although the bleak winter weather is already showing signs of thawing, it’s never too soon to set sail and head for the horizon. From new mega yacht charters to a race-winning sailing yacht and a secretive explorer project due to set sail this year, here are the most exciting yachts of 2023.

Miss Silver

Moving away from the motor yachts for a brief moment, Miss Silver is an elegant – not to mention more sustainable – alternative to the usual draft of chunky, high-sided motorised vessels. Measuring in at 36.12m, Miss Silver is being offered for sale in 2023 for the first time since it was bought by second and current owner in 2019.

Designed as a fast cruiser, Miss Silver’s sailing credentials stretch further than most yachts, with a recent win in the 2020 New Zealand Millennium Cup – one of the South Pacific’s most notable superyacht regattas.

Undergoing a multi-million-dollar bow to stern refit in 2021, the interior features new joinery, fabrics, furnishings, tech and galley, while the exterior has been repainted, re-decked and had new sails and new control systems fitted. Capable of accommodating up to eight guests in four cabins and a five crew, the sailing yacht is a dainty way to silently criss-cross the high seas.

“Miss Silver is an exceptionally elegant, well designed sailing yacht,” says Matt Ruane of superyacht brokers Cecil Wright. “Presented in fabulous condition post-refit, she is a stand-out opportunity in her market segment.” On route from Brisbane to Palma, where she’ll attend the International Boat Show in April 2023, Miss Silver is listed for sale for £7,730,000.
