The 13 Fastest Superyachts in the World

These boats prove that size doesn't have to mean slow..

• Share This Article

When American businessman John Staluppi embarked on his yachting journey, it was to break records. He wanted his first yacht to be the first boat over 100 feet to exceed 30 knots, or 34.5 mph. He achieved it with the 118-foot For Your Eyes Only, delivered in 1985. It was also the first motoryacht in the US to have a combination of MTU diesel engines with water-jet propulsion.

His second yacht would smash all previous records. Delivered by Heesen in 1988, Octopussy fulfilled the Bond enthusiast’s aim to break the then 50-knot barrier with a top end of 53.17 knots (61 mph)—a speed that every other shipyard at the time said couldn’t be done. Octopussy  immediately entered the record books as the world’s fastest yacht.

“That record was important to me because when you pull into any place there’s always a bigger boat or a prettier boat, but there aren’t many people who can say, ‘Hey, this is the fastest yacht in the world,’” Staluppi told Robb Report .

Heesen’s latest delivery, the 197-foot Ultra G , is one of the Dutch yard’s fastest projects these days, with a propulsion package totaling 22,000 horsepower, including four water jets that deliver a top speed of 37 knots (42.57 mph).

Of course, 43 mph is a paltry number compared to many of the yachts on this list, including the new Bolide 80. That Italian stallion, which will make its debut at the Monaco Yacht Show, runs at a blistering 84 mph. It shows that speed, even in the large motoryacht category, is very much alive.

Here are 13 of the fastest motoryachts, past and present, that have ever been on the water.

1. Bolide 80 | 84 mph

Victory Marine calls the Bolide 80 its first “Hyper Muscle Yacht,” which will be part of a limited-edition series from 60 to 170 feet. Designer Brunello Acampora and his tema of engineers pulled out all the stops on this 80, creating a full-carbon-fiber boat with more than 6,000 horsepower. The multi-stepped hull helps propel the Bolide to its top speed of 70 knots (84 mph), while accomplishing the seemingly impossible task of burning about half the fuel of a much smaller flybridge motoryacht at lower cruising speeds. The designer took care to give the Bolide a streamlined profile, with aerodynamic shapes to reduce resistance. The interior includes the captain’s cabin, a full-sized galley, open salon, and a forward owner’s area with a bedroom, en suite and wardrobe area. It will make its global debut at the Monaco Yacht Show.

2. ‘Foners’ | 80.56 mph

Clocking a thrilling 70.10 knots (80.56 mph), the 136-foot Foners has maintained pole position as the world’s fastest superyacht for over 20 years. Powered by two 1,280hp MAN engines coupled to three Rolls-Royce 6,700 hp gas turbines driving three KaMeWa water jets, the all-aluminum boat is less about piercing waves and more about parting the seas. Delivered in 2000 by Spanish shipyard Izar as the King of Spain’s royal yacht, no expense was spared, including a superstructure lined with Aramid fiber for the express purpose of bulletproofing the interior.

3. ‘World Is Not Enough’ | 77.1 mph

You need to only look at the 007-inspired name to know that World Is Not Enough is another rapid racer commissioned by John Staluppi, this time with an opulent interior designed by his wife Jeanette in partnership with Evan K Marshall. Delivered in 2004 by Millennium Super Yachts, the 139-footer is powered by two Paxman diesel engines and two Lycoming gas turbines to produce a staggering 20,600hp and a breathtaking 67 knots (77.1 mph). When not leaving other boats behind, World Is Not Enough has a cruising range of 3800 nautical miles at a comfortable speed of 10 knots.

4. ‘Galeocerdo’ | 74.8 mph

Wally founder Luca Bassani designed the 118-foot Galeocerdo to maintain speed in rough seas. Launched in 2003 by Rodriquez Yachts, the boat racks up an eye-watering 65 knots (74.8 mph), thanks to its three Vericor TF50 gas turbines, each driving a Rolls-Royce KaMeWa water jet. Another performance-enhancing feature is the lightweight titanium exhaust system designed to resist the extreme temperatures generated by the gas turbines. Wind tunnel tested at the Ferrari facility in Maranello, Italy, the boat generates 16,800hp and a 45-knot (51.8-mph) cruising speed that’s faster than most motoryachts running flat out. It also enjoys a highly futuristic exterior design.

5. Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 | 72.5 mph

When Italian supercar brand Lamborghini teamed up with yachting stalwart The Italian Sea Group, the end result had to be style and performance. The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 is all about the power of ‘63’. Designed and built to celebrate the year 1963 when Ferruccio Lamborghini founded his car company, the 63-footer delivers a whiplashing top speed of 63 knots (72.5 mph). And naturally, it’s one of just 63 in the series that will ever be made. Built out of carbon fiber, it’s fitted with two MAN V12-2000HP engines. MMA fighter Conor McGregor took delivery of hull number one in 2020, which reportedly cost $4 million.

6. ‘Chato’ | 71.9 mph

Back in the mid-1980s, passionate Baglietto customer and leading US Porsche and VW dealer Baron John von Neumann, commissioned a new 85-ft. speed demon from the Italian builder. The entrepreneur was tired of his 34-knot (39-mph) Baglietto getting creamed from Monaco to St. Tropez by faster cruisers. With a hull design by the legendary Alcide Sculati, the all-aluminum Chato came with MTU’s latest 3,480hp V16s coupled to KaMeWa waterjets. Weighing 60 tons, and packing almost 7,000 hp, the military-looking superyacht with its battleship-gray paint and bright-red diagonal hull stripes, hit an astonishing top speed of 62.5 knots (71.9 mph) during sea trials. Chato is currently for sale in the South of France for $715,000.

7. ‘Oci Ciornie’ | 69.04 mph

Oci Ciornie’s Vripack-designed interior may take inspiration from aircraft designs, but it’s the boat’s naval architecture by Don Shead and the combination of two 1,800hp MTU 16V 2000 M90 engines, a 4,600 hp AVCO Lycoming gas turbine and Arneson surface drives that put it on this list. Delivered in 1998 by Palmer Johnson with an aluminum hull, the 82-foot boat thrusts through water at 60 knots (69.04 mph), giving all eight guests the waterborne ride of their lives.

8. ‘Destriero’ | 68 mph

The numbers almost defy logic. With a length of 224 feet, the all-aluminum superyacht Destriero is massive. Now add a trio of GE Aviation LM1600 gas turbines totaling an insane 60,000 hp and the incredulity only increases. Flat out, Destriero could scythe through waves at a staggering 59 knots, or 68 mph. Back in 1992, just one year after its launch, the Fincantieri-built rocketship showed its chops by challenging the famous Blue Riband trans-Atlantic speed record. Averaging 53.09 knots for the 3,106 nautical-mile run, Destriero shattered the record, only to be denied the trophy for being classed as a private yacht and not a commercial passenger vessel. Sadly, today the iconic yacht lies largely abandoned at one of Lurssen’s yards in Germany, awaiting rescue.

9. ‘Ermis²’ | 65.59 mph

Some yachts feature slippery hull designs, others are propelled by rockets, but the McMullen & Wing-built Ermis² is one of the fastest yachts on the superyacht circuit thanks to its lightweight materials. Built from a combination of carbon/epoxy, aerospace grade carbon fiber and titanium, the 123-foot boat taps out at 57 knots (65.59 mph.) Delivered in 2007, its 10,944 horsepower comes from three MTU 16V 4000 M90 engines. Designed inside and out by Rob Humphreys, its classic looks disguise the speed demon within.

10. ‘Why Not U’ | 63.3 mph

Why Not U is a yacht that comfortably cruises at 47 knots (54.1 mph)—a speed most owners only dream of reaching. When time is of the essence, the boat cranks up its Vericor TF40 gas turbine engines to max out at 55 knots (63.3 mph). Delivered by Overmarine in 2001, Why Not U ’s 4.3-foot draft makes it well suited for cruising shallow waters, while its sunbathing areas allow guests to catch some rays traveling at the speed of light.

11. ‘Alamshar’ | 52 mph

Alamshar is another custom collaboration between Donald Blount and Pininfarina commissioned by Aga Khan IV, this time with interiors by Redman Whiteley Dixon. It was reportedly built for an estimated $200 million at the Devonport shipyard in Falmouth, United Kingdom, and took 13 years to complete. When it was eventually delivered in 2014, Alamshar’s top speed of 45 knots (51.78 mph), generated by twin Rolls-Royce Marine engines and three waterjets, seemed worth the wait.

12. ‘Moon Goddess’ | 51.78 mph

Exterior designed by Espen Øino with an interior by Franco Zuretti, the all-aluminum Moon Goddess is a 115-foot yacht with a turquoise hull that matches the color of its oversized leather sunpads. When cruising at 30 knots (34.52 mph) or tearing up the oceans at 45 knots (51.78 mph), most other boats just catch a glimpse of sea spray that the planing yacht leaves in its wake. It’s powered by twin MTU 16V 4000 M90 diesel engines with twin water jets, which generate a combined 7,498 hp.

13. ‘Azzam’ | 35.7 mph

At a staggering 590 feet bow-to-stern, the Lurssen-built Azzam earns the title of world’s longest privately owned gigayacht. But with its remarkable-for-the-size top speed of 31 knots (35.7 mph), it’s also the fastest. Twin 12,000hp MTU V20 turbo-diesels do the day-to-day powering at up to 18 knots (20.7 mph). But crank up the twin GE LM2500 gas turbines, coupled to four Wartsila waterjets, and there’s a staggering 94,000hp on tap. Of course, like Azzam ‘s original owner, it helps if you own a few oil wells: At max speed, the yacht reportedly burns 13 tons of fuel an hour. Launched in 2013 at a reported cost of some $600 million, Azzam accommodates 30 guests pampered by up to 80 crew.

Azimut Yachts strengthens presence in Brazil

By B. Roberts

The Brazilian luxury market is expanding and there is a growing focus on the superyacht lifestyle. World renowned Italian yacht builders Azimut Yachts are now planning to expand their presence in the South American country.

Azimut Yachts has proudly announced that it will be playing a leading role in yachting in Brazil, welcoming the growing demand head on. The Italian Shipyard has always maintained a high level of quality within their productions, having built such triumphs as the 36m Shalimar and the 31m Antonia II alongside a portfolio of truly impressive designs.

After working with a production partner in the Brazilian market for many years, Azimut Yachts has offered to introduce the high quality brand of their organisation to the country. This means that Azimut superyachts produced directly at the Azimut works will now be available overseas.

Paolo Vitelli, Chairman and Founder of the Azimut-Benetti Group, commented on the Company's decision: "All the research carried out shows that in Brazil there is an increasing demand for luxury Made in Italy products, from fashion to the automotive sector. We are confident that Brazilian ship owners will appreciate the value of a yacht produced directly by an Italian manufacturer. Our production sites are architectural and technological gems; fascinating places where dream boats come true. We would be delighted if our Brazilian customers from San Paolo, Rio or Fortaleza decided to come and visit us and get to know our values and company culture." To ensure optimal distribution of its products in the South American country, Azimut Yachts has formed a new partnership with Yacht Brasil, as importer for the South American country.

The 20 Fastest SuperYachts in the World

By Alex Holmes

Updated on August 14, 2023

Yachts were always associated with leisure, comfort, and luxury, floating gently in a gorgeous location or cruising unhurried to the next, but somewhere along the way, something changed. Yachts started becoming faster and more powerful, and their owners more obsessed with these characteristics than anything else. But that’s the way with every kind of vehicle these days, isn’t it?

Mankind is obsessed with speed. That’s a given. And it applies to everything, including superyachts, which, despite their size, can achieve impressive speeds over water.

Whether that speed is actually needed is debatable, but one can’t ignore that there are quite a few capable yachts out there and that the competition for the fastest superyacht in the world is a fierce one, as in everything that involves the man’s thirst for speed.

The following superyachts manage to blend both the need for speed and the craving for luxury. But these are above everything else, the fastest yachts in the world right now.

Let’s have a look.

• 20. Cara Montana – 45 knots

Cara Montana is a smaller yacht, manufactured in 2019 by a shipyard based in Genoa, called Otam. It’s a gorgeous maritime vehicle which spans only 25.9 meters in length, but is beautiful and powerful enough to impress.

Powered by twin MTU engines, outputting a total of 5,200 hp together, and equipped with twin surface drives, Cara Montana is able to reach a top speed of 45 knots, or just under 52 mph.

• 19. Alamshar – 45 knots

Completed in 2014 after a waiting time of 13 years spent in the manufacturing process, the Alamshar yacht can reach 45 knots, thanks to its twin Rolls-Royce Marine engines and three waterjets.

The naval architecture of the vessel was made by Donald L. Blount & Associates, the exterior design by Pininfarina, and the interior by Redman Whiteley Dixon. The whole project was put together by the Devonport shipyard in Falmouth, United Kingdom.

The Alamshar is 50 meter long, and costed a jaw dropping $200 million, paid by Aga Khan IV, for whom the custom yacht was made.

• 18. Moon Goddess – 45 knots

Another lovely vessel from the superyacht world is the Moon Goddess. It’s on the smaller size, being only 35 meter long, but it’s capable of reaching 45 knots. The ship was built by Danish Yachts, with the naval architecture and exterior designs made by Espen Øino, a superyacht design icon.

The Moon Goddess can take up to six guests in three posh cabins, two twins and one for the owner, plus a crew of five. It’s propelled to a cruise speed of 25 knots, or the maximum of 45, by twin MTU 16V 4000 M90 diesel engines which generate a combined 7,498 hp.

• 17. Shergar – 45 knots

The acclaimed German shipyard Lürssen built Shergar in 1983 to be among the fastest yachts in the world. Decades later, it still holds its own among better and more technological advanced vessels.

Equipped with two MTU 12V 396 TB83 diesel power plants, and two Allison 571-KF gas turbines, the Shergar is capable of cruising at 40 knots and reaching a top speed of 45 knots.

• 16. Seafire – 46 knots

Seafire is a super yacht manufactured by AB Yachts, an Italian shipyard known for some impressive vessels. This one is among their fastest, able to reach a top speed of 46 knots.

The 42 meter super yacht is powered by a setup of three MTU 16V M94 units and three waterjets, giving it the possibility to cruise at an impressive speed of 43 knots, only 3 below its top speed.

• 15. Octopussy 007 – 53.2 knots

Built back in 1988 by the renowned Dutch shipyard Heesen Yachts and carrying a little of James Bond in its name, the Octopussy 007 is a 43.5 meter super yacht that can accommodate up to 10 guests and 7 crew members.

The vessel is powered by three MTU diesel engines that deliver 10,440 hp together, propelling the Octopussy forward at a cruising speed of 25 knots and a top speed of 53.2 knots.

It was on display at multiple boat shows around the world, and it changed owners for the last time in 2021. The naval architecture was done by Mulder Design, the exterior by Gerhard Gilgenast, and the interior by Art Line and Joachim Kinder Yacht Design.

Inside, it comes with 5 posh and extremely comfortable guest cabins, 1 master, 1 twin, and 3 double.

• 14. Daloli – 54 knots

The Daloli, also known as Pandion, built by Heesen Yachts, is a 36.5 vessel that enters the category of super yachts and impresses with a top speed of 54 knots, the equivalent of just over 62 mph.

The ship has a crew capacity of 6 and can host up to 8 passengers. There’s four cabins in total on its three decks, and the sheer beauty of its design can be seen both inside and on the outside.

It’s a real beauty, and a fast one as well.

• 13. Why Not U – 55 knots

Originally named Nobody, the Why Not U was designed in 2001 by Overmarine as a deluxe super yacht that’s capable of getting his 9 guests and 3 crew to their next dream destination with a top speed of 55 knots. The power comes from a setup of Vericor TF40 gas turbine engines.

When it comes to living on it, it offers an impressive range of amenities on its teak decks. There’s several dining spots, entertainment and lounge rooms, sun bathing areas, and plenty more to be had on board of this stunning super yacht.

• 12. Ermis² – 57 knots

The 37.5 meter super yacht Ermis², manufactured from special materials by the New Zealand shipyard McMullen & Wing, is among the fastest vessels out there, capable of a top speed of 57 knots, which is just a little over 65 mph.

The ship came out in 2007, but is still among the most innovative yachts in the world given the mix of composite materials, aerospace grade carbon fiber and titanium for its lightweight body.

That low weight, combined with the 10,944 hp outputted by the three MTU 16V 4000 M90 engines, allow this stunning yacht to reach that max speed of 57 knots.

• 11. Chato – 57 knots

Chato is another small sized and powerful super yacht. It was built in 1986 by Baglietto from aluminium and was equipped with twin MTU 16V 396 TB94 diesel engines, which push it to a cruise speed of 35 knots and a max speed of 57 knots.

Chato is only 25.79 meters long, and that helps with a lower weight and a smaller profile under the surface of the water.

• 10. Azimut Atlantic Challenger – 60 knots

The Azimut Atlantic Challenger strays away from the usual design of luxury yachts, but that only because it was built for a very different purpose, which was to win the Blue Riband award, an unofficial accolade given to a ship for making the fastest transatlantic crossing.

Unfortunately, the Azimut Atlantic Challenger failed to win, but it remained one of the fastest super yachts in the world, currently holding the 10th position, with a top speed of 60 knots.

It was built in 1988 by the Italian shipyard Benetti, with the exterior designed by Pininfarina. It’s a 26.82 meter aluminum monohull vessel and is powered by four CRM diesel engines, capable of outputting a combined 7,400 hp.

• 9. Jet Ruban Bleu – 60 knots

The French built Jet Ruban Bleu is on par with the Azimut Atlantic Challenger and two other super yachts, at least when it comes to the top speed. They can all do 60 knots.

Jet Ruban Bleu is 25 meter long, was designed by Gilles Ollier and Coste Design & Partners and created by Multiplast. It was outfitted with a single MTU engine capable of 3,500 hp alone.

• 8. Oci Ciornie – 60 Knots

Oci Ciornie was a super yacht project that was realized by American shipyard Palmer Johnson, the Dutch Vripack, and the well known naval architect Don Shead in 1998.

The vessel features an aluminum hull, and uses two 1,800 hp MTU 16V 2000 M90 engines, a 4,600 hp AVCO Lycoming gas turbine, plus Arneson surface drives. This combination propels the Oci Ciornie with a top speed of 60 knots.

The ship is able to carry up to eight guests in a master suite, a double cabin, and a twin room. There’s a nice and streamlined deck that features a superb saloon and outside areas for relaxation, while the interior takes inspiration from aircraft designs.

• 7. Brave Challenger – 60 Knots

With the same 60 knot top speed of the above ships, the Brave Challenger is to be lauded, since it’s much older, being built back in 1960. The project was completed by Vosper Ltd in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, with the intention of becoming a Brave Class fast patrol boat. It was only later that the ship was converted for private use.

The Brave Challenger is powered by three Rolls-Royce Proteus gas turbines, which output a total of 13,500 hp, which combined with the only 31 meter length and lower weight, can push the boat to the top speed of 60 knots.

• 6. Kereon – 62.3 Knots

The Italian yard AB Yachts, the one behind Seafire above at number 16, built in 2004 one of the fastest super yachts in the world, the Kereon. It’s capable of hitting a top speed of 62.3 knots, and that thanks to the three CRM diesel engines that produce a good 6,300 hp.

Since the total power is so low in comparison to others on this list, it makes sense that a shorter length of 27 meters and a performant hull design are at play to aid in reaching those speeds.

The ship has a very sporty aesthetic, all metallic silver, and can cruise at 50 knots for about 900 miles.

• 5. Gentry Eagle – 63.5 knots

Gentry Eagle was a special project done by Vosper Thornycroft in 1988 for the legendary Tom Gentry, who achieved almost everything he could achieve in terms of powerboat speed records during his lifetime, including the coveted Blue Riband. The vessel, capable of 63.5 knots, helped him win the Blue Riband in 1989, with a record time of 62 hours and 7 minutes.

Gentry Eagle’s design was done by Grant Robinson and Peter Birkett, with the interior by Robin Rose. In 1992, the ship became a private super yacht.

• 4. Galeocerdo – 65 Knots

Galeocerdo is a very futuristic looking ship, with sleek lines and a hull designed to maintain high speeds in rough sea conditions. It measures 36 meters in length, and is capable of hitting 65 knots.

The vessel was built in 2003 in Italy, by Rodriguez Yachts and is powered by three Vericor TF50 gas turbines, each tied to a Rolls-Royce Kamewa water jet. The total power output rises to a whooping 16,800 hp.

• 3. Destriero – 66 knots

Destriero was launched back in 1991 by the Italian shipyard Fincantieri. It has a length of 68.18 meters and features a design made by Pininfarina and Donald Blount. This ship was again built with the sole purpose of winning the Blue Riband by breaking the old record of crossing the Atlantic.

She did it in 1992, after it crossed the ocean twice without refueling, setting a new record of 58 hours, 34 minutes, and 5 seconds. but the Blue Riband award was denied for her, since it’s awarded only to passenger vessels and not private yachts.

What allowed Destriero to set a new record was the power of 54,000 hp, given by the Codag engine and the three GE Aviation LM1600 gas turbines, pushing the ship to a max speed of 66 knots, or 76 mph.

• 2. World Is Not Enough – 67 Knots

The Dutch superyacht World Is Not Enough, built in 2004 by Millenium Super Yachts, comes second place with a top speed of 67 knots. The vessel is powered by two Paxman diesel engines and two Lycoming gas turbines, which give an output of 20,600 hp, and a good 3800 nautical miles cruising range at a cruising speed of 10 knots.

With its 42.4 meters of luxury and beauty, World Is Not Enough can accommodate up to 10 guests and 7 crew members in five extravagant cabins, offering plenty of comfort and areas for relaxation. The vessel features formal dining spaces, indoor bar, and al fresco dining and lounge areas on all decks, for the ultimate pleasure away from civilization.

• 1. Foners – 70.1 knots

The Foners is currently the fastest super yacht in the world, with a 70.1 knots top speed, keeping the first spot since its delivery back in 2000. The power behind its top speed comes from two MAN engines and three Rolls Royce gas turbines, combining together to output a whooping 21,380 hp.

Her cruising speed is 12 knots, and allows her to reach a range of 1,800 nautical miles.

But of course speed isn’t everything here, as the eye is impressed a lot when stepping on board. Built by the Spanish shipyard Izar, Foners comes with splendid interiors, formal dining rooms, and plenty of space on the decks for al fresco dining. Its 6 crew and up to 8 guests can be accommodated on board, in luxurious cabins.

These are the fastest super yachts in the world, a competition that keeps on going, dominated for the last two decades by the Spanish vessel Foners.

As technology progresses, it will be interesting to see how it holds up against newer yachts.

Yachts in Brazil

Brazil is located in South America and is the fifth largest country in the world in terms of land area and population , boasting cultural diversity, rich history and breathtaking landscapes. This country has a long coastline and a large number of important sports and commercial seaports , especially since Brazil is one of the largest producers of raw materials and agriculture in the world, being a very important player in the global economy. Some of the most prominent ports are in Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Salvador, Recife, Fortaleza, among others, where you can rent yachts, motorboats, sailboats, catamarans, and enjoy the variety of ecosystems, from the Amazon jungle to sandy beaches. white and mountainous landscapes; For example, Rio de Janeiro is one of the most popular cities for yacht charters due to its beautiful beaches and coastal landscapes ; while Santos is important for commerce, but also popular for yacht charter due to its proximity to Sao Paulo.

Some of the ports in Brazil are:

Rio de Janeiro: it is one of the most important in Brazil and one of the busiest in Latin America. This port is an important center for the loading and unloading of goods, as well as a popular tourist destination for yacht and boat charters. As for marinas, there is Marina da Glória located in the Glória neighborhood and is part of Flamengo Park and has access to Guanabara Bay , one of the most beautiful in the country; In addition, there is the Quadrado da Urca sports and fishing port , the latter being a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro with a very beautiful beach and a little less crowded than Copacabana and Ipanema. The curious thing is that they are anchored distributed on the beach, but there are no docks where they can be anchored at the end of the day.

Santos : It is the main commercial port of this country and one of the most important in Latin America for foreign trade and one of the main ones for imports and exports of merchandise from Brazil.

Marina Itajaí: it is one of the largest and most modern marinas in Brazil. This marina can supply 355 boats with the most modern transportation and maintenance equipment, nautical fuel station, convenience store, gastronomic area, and 24-hour monitoring.

These are some of the many ports that Brazil has. Each one of them has services and tourist attractions, from loading and unloading merchandise to recreation and tourism; however, if you can tell, there are many more dedicated to commerce than leisure.

For example, from Rio de Janeiro you will be able to enjoy the lights of the city, enjoy the landscape, the incredible sunsets that you can observe on board with a vibrant, carnival atmosphere.

As for the places where you can rent yachts, apart from Rio de Janeiro and Recife, you will also be able to find this service in Manaus, Buzios, Florianópolis, among others, where there is a significant presence of yachts and marinas. For example, Buzio is a popular coastal city in Brazil for yacht charters. It is located about 2 hours from Rio de Janeiro and is known for its beaches and its relaxed atmosphere; Furthermore, Florianópolis is an island in the south of Brazil and is famous for its beaches and vibrant nightlife scene; likewise, it should be taken into account that the presence of more or fewer yachts depends on the time of year and the demand of tourists; For example, for the 2014 Soccer World Cup, in Manaus and other cities, due to the large influx of people and the hotels and residences were full, some yachts were rented to spend the night.

Season to rent a yacht in Brazil

A period where it is quite crowded thanks to the carnival, is from December to March, which is the summer time in most of the country , because in the north it is a little more humid. The rental of boats is quite requested for that time, which is where people want to sail, rest and visit beaches. Although, the period from April to October can also be an excellent option for those people who do not want so much noise and many people; so, you will find a slightly calmer panorama.

How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Brazil?

Although the costs may vary depending on the time; since, in high season where they go on vacation or where there are many tourists, there is a lot of demand for this service and prices may increase; however, the average cost, for example, for a boat (yacht or boat) for 10 people can cost an average of 350 USD per day; while a luxury catamaran or yacht can cost between USD 480 and USD 4,500 per day. That price can also vary depending on various factors such as the destination to which the boat is headed, the number of hours of navigation, because it is also possible to rent for days or weeks; It also depends on whether you are going to include other services on board, that is, if you want to include a chef, drinks, water toys, decoration to celebrate an event on board, etc.

On the Green Coast of Rio de Janeiro is Angra dos Reis, which has 365 islands, starting with Isla Grande, which is, as its name says, the largest and most famous of all, starting with Lopes Mendes beach, one of the most beautiful in the country, followed by the Caxadaco beach , more hidden than the others, or the Pouso Beach or the Adventurer Beach. If you want a less crowded beach, Jaconema beach and Dois Rios beach are an excellent option. Also, on the island of Gipóia, there is the famous Dentist Beach that offers fun for all types of public of all ages, perfect to visit with family or friends.

If you are looking for an option to rent a yacht in Brazil, we recommend that it be in Rio de Janeiro because there are more offers and options to choose from where you will have a pleasant tour, you will have fun with your family or friends, mainly on blue sky days. and clear. Wear plenty of sunscreen, sunglasses, comfortable clothing and shoes so you have a good experience; Not to mention that you must follow the captain's instructions and not make sudden maneuvers on board or jump into the water when the captain has not authorized it; because it can be dangerous. If you follow these instructions, we assure you that you will create memorable moments for a lifetime while appreciating the incredible landscapes during the tour.

Fast yachts for sale: speed demons and dashing dayboats

Powerful, showy and thrilling, these boats are all about getting places – at speed. Perfect for short day cruises, weekends away or just opening the throttles at sea for the sheer joy of it. The era of austerity and rocketing fuel prices may have dampened the ardour of some for these speed demons, but with their sleek, sporty looks and unabashed power they still hold immense appeal. Moreover, these kind of yachts are often ground-breakers, whether it be hull design, build technology, new materials or fuel efficiency, so the fuel bill may not be as high as you fear.

And while top speeds can be impressive, they are more likely to be reserved for special occasions. More important for normal operation is performance at cruising power and range, so they really come into their own as dayboats and weekenders. Take your pick from this powerful pack, and start planning your Friday getaway…

Mistral 55 | 52 knots/47 knots

When a yacht takes the name of a strong wind, you can guess that her performance is going to be promising and this Pershing 115 does not disappoint, delivering a blistering 52 knots thanks to 12,500hp from twin Codag MTU engines and triple waterjets. She cruises at a no less impressive 47 knots, and comes with oodles of Italian style courtesy of Fulvio de Simoni , who was responsible for her naval architecture, styling and interior.

Mirage | 50 knots/45 knots

One of the fastest luxury yachts in the world, the 30 metre Mirage tops out at 50 knots thanks to her three 2,430 hp MTU engines coupled with Arneson drives. She is fleet of looks too with an immense glass windshield that flows back to the open deck space, a sleek black hull and low-riding superstructure, with a flybridge that melds into the yacht’s lines. Launched in 2010, she is the second Baia 100 to be built and accommodates up to 10 guests in suitably slick style.

Shooting Star | 48 knots-plus/40 knots

This 38 metre carbon flyer packs a punch with her 48 knot speed, but that’s only from the standard configuration of twin 16 cylinder MTU engines. With space for 20 cylinder engines, her innovative hull has been tank-tested all the way up to 65 knots. Combined with an ultra-light, pared-back Scandinavian style, acres of glass and tip-top technology, Shooting Star is one fast lady.

Daloli | 54 knots-plus/37 knots

Built by Heesen for the Sultan of Brunei in 1995, Daloli (ex- AA Absolute ) has some superlatives to her name. Her 16 cylinder MTU engines are boosted by triple waterjets and can push her to a no-holds-barred 54 knots, while at a cracking cruising speed of 37 knots she has a range of 1,000 nautical miles. Performance is matched by an ultra-modern interior, of course.

AB 116 | 50 knots/44 knots

Speed is obviously a priority when a yacht such built using the light, strong materials and technology developed for the aerospace industry, but it is not the sole raison d’etre of the AB 116 , for these innovations also eliminate vibrations, making the ride smooth even at 50 knots. Power comes from triple 2,400hp MTUs linked to water-jet drives.

Moon Goddess | 53 knots/44 knots

Styled by Espen Øino and built by Danish Yachts in 2006 for the owner of Princess Mariana , Moon Goddess  - now listed for sale with Burgess - was in many respects the predecessor of Shooting Star. The carbon fibre open sports yacht is light and manoeuvrable, with 16 cylinder MTU diesels driving twin water jets for speeds of up to 53 knots.

Ermis² | 55 knots/45 knots

The need for speed prescribed this unique New Zealand-built 37 metre superyacht’s power systems, design and construction – a whole new class of ultra-light technology. She was built specifically for getting to weekend destinations fast, and that means faster than a Force 10 wind at her 55 knot top speed. She also copes with any seas and with her extended ocean range of 2,300 nautical miles at 30 knots, the world could be your oyster almost every weekend. Ermis2 is now listed for sale with Ocean Independence.

One More Toy | 42 knots/35 knots

One of a kind, One More Toy is the only Pershing Pininfarina Limited Edition in the world, and with those Italian car designer credentials her styling is appropriately reminiscent of fast cars, right down to the Ferrari red leather interiors and Ferrari Grigio Silverstone paint job. With throttles open she tops 42 knots and cruises at a cracking 35.

And if you are looking for speed without fuel consumption, here’s a super sailer that would leave the average superyacht in its wake.

Swift | 30 knots under sail

The world’s fastest sailing catamaran – formerly known as Orange and more recently Gitana 13 – has been converted into a fast cruiser that is still capable of 30 knots under sail. She has set quite a precedent for gobbling up nautical miles – taking 43 days to sail New York to San Francisco, 11 days from San Francisco to Yokohama and 41 days from Hong Kong to London. Maybe a bit more than a weekender, but still an exhilarating ride without regard for the price of fuel.

Taking the fast boat from Brazil to Colombia

A guide to taking the fast boat from Manaus, Brazil to Leticia, Colombia. A comfortable and easy way to travel by river from Brazil to Colombia, and a good route for those wanting to cross overland from Brazil to Colombia or Peru.

Traveling internationally between South American countries ain’t cheap. Not if you fly, at least.

After finishing my NGO eye care clinic assignment with the OneSight in the Brazilian Amazon , I needed to find a way to Colombia that wouldn’t break the bank. Flying was out of the picture—USD$800 to fly from Brazil to Colombia, say what?!—so land or water it was.

My sights were set on the slow boat from Manaus to Leticia , but I only had nine days to reach Colombia before I had to meet a friend. After inquiring at the docks in Manaus, I found out the 7-day slow boat only went once per week… and I’d already missed the week’s departure by one day. So much for that dream.

Luckily, tickets for the fast boat between Manaus and Leticia were still available… and, even better, the fast boat leaves daily from Manaus.

Fast boat it was!

Compared to slow river boats , the fast boat isn’t quite as atmospheric or scenic… but there’s no denying its convenience. If you’re looking for a comfortable and easy way to get to Colombia (or Peru) from Brazil without flying, the fast boat what you need.

In the name of helping a fellow traveler or two out, here’s a quick guide to taking the fast boat from Manaus, Brazil to Leticia, Colombia.

My friend Enzo checking out the fast boat situation

Timings for the fast boat from Manaus to Leticia, Brazil

Fast boats leave Manaus for Leticia on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays . The boat leaves the terminal at 6:00 in the morning.

Expect the journey to take about 36 hours, sometimes more or less depending on the water levels, current, and the ways of the world. My boat took 38 hours to reach Leticia because the boat broke down part of the way through the journey. Joy!

The ramp down to the Terminal Ajato dock from the main port road

How to buy tickets for the fast boat from Manaus to Leticia

If it’s a high season in Brazil (July and August) I recommend buying your ticket a day or two in advance, as the boat fills up. Otherwise, I’ve read it’s not a problem to buy your ticket on the spot or the day before.

Tickets can be purchased at Terminal Ajato in Manaus’ main port. When facing the river, the terminal will be on the far right side of the line of docks.

There’s a small ticketing booth on the dock, but when I went around 17:30 in the evening, the booth was closed.

Terminal Ajato and the small ticketing booth at sunset

Never fear—there were plenty of crew hanging out on the fast boat docked there, and I spoke to the captain directly about buying a ticket. He spoke enough English to complete a transaction.

Tickets for the fast boat are 600 reals , or about USD$160, including food and non-alcoholic drinks. If you plan on bringing luggage weighing more than 15 kg (per bag, not in total), you have to pay an extra 5 reals per kilo for every extra kilogram of weight.

I didn’t have enough reals on me to buy the ticket on the spot, and the nearest ATM was a long way off (too long, given the sun was setting and the port is not the best place to be at night). After some discussion, the captain agreed to accept US dollars instead.

After purchasing, he assigned me a seat (the last available one), wrote out a ticket slip for me, and all was said and done.

Cool kids in the back.

What to pack for your fast boat ride

As food and drinks are provided for you on the boat, you don’t have to pack too much for the ride. Note that your big luggage will be stored out of reach (though you can access it if you ask nicely), so keep your essentials in a small bag close to you.

The most important thing: bring a blanket and/or warm clothes. There are a lot of air conditioning units on the boat, and it gets cold . When I rode the boat, all of the AC units were set to 16°C, and sitting and doing nothing means you freeze fast. My only solution was to get up and walk to the back outside seating area of the boat to toast in the heat every once in a while.

Thank you, excessive Amazonian heat and humidity, for keeping hypothermia at bay

Everyone on the boat except me knew this ahead of time and brought blankets. I, on the other hand, froze to death throughout the night until a kindly old lady shared her blanket with me the next morning. Don’t make the same rookie mistake I did.

In addition to a blanket , I’d recommend bringing…

• They’re available on the boat, but it’s cheaper to pack your own. You won’t have a chance to get off and buy anything at ports.
• Things to do. 36 hours is a long time to be bored, and you can’t count on nice scenery to amuse you for the entire ride.
• There are TVs playing movies (in Portuguese) constantly throughout the boat ride. You’ll need headphones and a smartphone with FM radio capabilities to tune in to the audio.
• Toothbrush and toothpaste. The toilets on the boat are nice, and it feels good to brush your teeth each morning and evening. Not to mention it breaks the monotony.
• Reusable water bottle. Hot and cold filtered water is available on the boat to refill.
• Chargers.  You can charge your devices on the boats; they have the 3 round hole plugs common to Brazil (that take European-style plugs).

The interior of the fast boat: comfy and wide seats, but alas, no reclining!

Getting on the fast boat from Brazil to Colombia

Plan on getting to Terminal Ajato around 5:00 in the morning the day of departure. Before getting on the boat, you’ll need to check in with men standing at tables near the boat, and deposit your checked luggage for weighing and storage in the below decks of the boat.

Once checked in, hang out and wait for boarding to begin around 5:45. There will be some vendors selling breakfast snacks and coffee on the dock if you’re feeling peckish.

Food and drinks on the fast boat

Your ticket includes 3 meals on the first day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and two meals the second day. A typical meal for lunch or dinner includes meat, rice, beans, noodles, and a dessert. Coke is provided during meals, and coffee is freely available all day in the back of the boat.

Typical boat swill. Not the greatest, but it looks better than it tastes. I swear.

If you want to drink beer, there was a man selling cans of beer on the back outside seating area of the boat.

Vegetarians and vegans beware: the meals are meaty as can be. The beans I had also had meat in them, so all you can eat is rice or noodles. Definitely pack your own food—you can get hot water to cook things if really necessary.

My favorite spot in Leticia: along the canal

Reaching Tabatinga, Brazil and Leticia, Colombia

The boat will reach Tabatinga around 18:00-20:00 the next day.

You’ll unload at a port where you can collect your big luggage, then submit yourself and your bags for a very thorough search by the police. This is not immigration unfortunately, just a customs check. Passport stamps must be collected elsewhere.

After exiting customs, head back onto land to find yourself a taxi or ride to your next destination. Tabatinga, Brazil is not the nicest town, but neighboring Leticia, Colombia is a nice place to settle for a bit. You don’t need to go through immigration before going to Leticia—given the late hour you’ll likely arrive, I recommend just heading to Leticia and doing immigration the next day.

A taxi from Tabatinga to Leticia cost me 20 reals, and I stayed at the cheap and chill Hostel Casa de las Palmas , a hostel with pool close to the town center.

Note: Don’t forget that Colombia is one hour behind Manaus, Brazil.

The next day was the real hassle: exiting Brazil and entering Colombia.

Exiting Brazil

To exit Brazil, you need to head to the Polícia Federal office in Tabatinga to get your exit stamp. On foot, it’s a 30-45 minute walk from Leticia. For a faster trip, take one of the minibuses running along Carrera 6 (Colombia)/Av. da Amizade (Brazil) for 3,000 COP .

The office was closed for lunch when I arrived; hours seem to be a bit flexible, but loosely the office is closed from 12:00-14:00 Colombian time .

Once you get in the main gray gate, exiting is quick. Show your passport with visa (or print out of e-visa) or immigration card to be stamped out.

Entering Colombia

After exiting Brazil, you have 24 hours to enter Colombia.

Flying out of Leticia within 24 hours? Get your Colombian entry stamp at the airport immigration office when you fly.

If you’re not flying out, you can still get your stamp at the airport. A moto taxi to the airport is 2,000 COP .

However, the easier (and more scenic) option is to head to the floating immigration office on the canal in Leticia. Look for a white building—it’s by far the nicest building floating on the riverside.

My first ever floating immigration office!

It takes 5-10 minutes to head in, answer some basic questions, and get your Colombian entry stamp. Success—your boat journey is finally over! Have fun in Colombia 😉

Hi Alex, it’s my first time here, and for a while I’m liking your blog. But… I disagree about what you wrote about Brazil, and Manaus. I think that if you want to travel a new country, you need immerse in a new culture. For that, maybe you need to search a little more about your destiny. In Brazil, it’s not normal vegans food, so, every vegetarian usually to bring the own food, because knows that the country hasn’t obligation to give a vegan food free. And you say it’s a cheap travel, so, what to expect? The flavor of Brazilian or Manaus food, is amazing… But, taste it’s totally personal. So it’s a wrong to say the food is bad, because each taste need to decide it. Sorry for my bad english, but, I really became upset with this description.

Hi Moane. I’m sorry I upset you. I think there’s a misunderstanding? I wasn’t saying Brazilian food/food in Manaus is bad—I thought it was quite delicious, actually—I was just warning vegetarians/vegans that they’ll need to pack their own food if traveling on this boat.

Your article is very informative! My son and I are planning a trip to Manus then taking a fast or slow boat to Tabatingina. For either one I would like a room to escape the noise. You didn’t say if your seat reclines. The food sounds better than the slow boat. Thank you for everything! Kathi

Hiya, Thanks for this info. Its really useful to get a picture of what the journey will involve. I would like to check how up to date this info is? Ive just been asking in santarem where they tell me boats take four days manaus to tabatinga and leave tue, wed, fri and sat at 12 midday. Nobody mentioned a difference between fast and slow boats..and since this is neither 7days as you said the slow boat takes, nor 36hrs, im slightly confused. Also, you say the fast boat is daily but then list four days it sails. Its a right organisational nightmare when youre not already in manaus and have to time it right to arrive when therell be a boat! Response would be v welcome. Many thanks 🙂

Hi Does anyone have recent information on crossing borders along the Amazon , COVID testing etc ? Is that something you have to do . Is a Vaccine passport enough ? Any answers would be appreciated Thank you

thanks for sharing im from brazil but i hadnt informations about that , kisses

HI TO ALL!! CAN YOU INFORM ME, IF I CAN BRING MY MOTO FROM MANAUS TO LETICIA PORT? CAN YOU GIVE ME A OFFICIAL SITE TO MAKE A RESERVATION?

England’s Euro 2024 squad: Who is on the plane to Germany?

W ith Euro 2024 fast approaching, Gareth Southgate’s England squad is starting to take shape. Ahead of matches against Brazil and Belgium, Telegraph Sport assesses what the squad would look like if it was picked now:

Goalkeepers

Jordan pickford.

Involved in a relegation battle at Everton, but his inclusion as Southgate’s No 1 is in spite of recent form having established himself at the World Cup six years ago. Not being England’s first choice at the Euros is unthinkable.

Sam Johnstone

Roy Hodgson has had two England goalkeepers at his disposal this season, with Sam Johnstone and Dean Henderson battling it out at Crystal Palace. Johnstone did enough to win his place back in Southgate’s squad but also missed matches through injury. He has played Palace’s past four games.

Aaron Ramsdale

If Nick Pope was fit, this would have been a dilemma for Southgate. Ramsdale is an excellent squad member, he trains hard and supports his fellow goalkeepers. While he is the perfect keeper to have in the 23, he is not playing regularly at Arsenal and hardly justifies his place on form.

Kyle Walker

Southgate has twice talked Walker out of international retirement, he is that important to his plans. Still among the best right-backs one-v-one and can play as a third centre-back, while Pep Guardiola has “inverted” him to play in central midfield when Manchester City have the ball.

Kieran Trippier

Pulled out of the squad in November due to personal reasons and misses out on the March squad through injury. His form dipped over the Christmas period, but he is an important part of Southgate’s squad with his ability to play on either flank – given Luke Shaw’s injury – and his set-piece threat.

John Stones

The Manchester City centre-back has been at the heart of Southgate’s defence for his most important triumphs. The question this season has been over his fitness but he has made 22 club appearances and will be on the plane providing he stays injury-free.

Harry Maguire

Southgate stayed loyal to Maguire when he was getting jeered by his own supporters, so it is safe to say that he will be in his plans for Germany. The centre-back has forced his way back in at Manchester United under Erik ten Hag after looking set to leave the club in the summer.

Currently recovering from injury but, if fit, he is highly rated by Southgate for his cool displays at Crystal Palace, never seeming to get into trouble. He quoted Paolo Maldini recently when talking about going under the radar: “Maldini said if you have to make a tackle, you weren’t in the right position in the first place.”

There will be one remaining centre-back slot up for grabs, and Konsa is making an excellent case for himself ahead of Lewis Dunk, Fikayo Tomori or the versatile Levi Colwill. Konsa suffered a knee injury recently but has been included for the Brazil/Belgium double header.

Ben Chilwell

Returned to action against Leicester at the weekend and has an important role for Southgate as the only recognised left-back currently available. Shaw is due back at the end of the season but cannot be counted on. Trippier can cover on the left, but it will need a specialist in that position.

Pick your winner

Trent Alexander-Arnold

It looked like it was Trent against Kalvin Phillips for the role alongside Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham, with the Liverpool player pulling himself clear in the last months. Yes, he can cover right-back, too, but it should be his ability to control games and his passing range that gets him into this team.

Jordan Henderson

A move to Ajax has cemented his place in the England party and he is expected to be on the plane to Germany. His leadership is very important to the squad dynamic and he is now playing at a better level than during his ill-fated spell in Saudi Arabia.

Jude Bellingham

The top scorer in La Liga and the player England will be pinning their hopes on. All eyes will be on the Real Madrid star over the final games of the season. If he stays fit, he starts for Southgate in an advanced midfield role.

Declan Rice

David Moyes suggested recently that the £105 million paid by Arsenal in the summer would prove to be a bargain. It is hard to disagree with him, with Rice such an important part of Arsenal’s title charge. He can control games and is a better player than at the last Euros.

Now playing well enough to demand a starting place in Southgate’s team after being so unlucky with England. Injury ruled him out of the last Euro final against Italy and earlier in the tournament he was rested as he was a yellow away from suspension. Now looks set to start on the left of the attack.

When he was injured at the weekend, England fans held their breath. Injury scares for the country’s most prolific goalscorer around the final weeks of the season will prove problematic.

Bukayo Saka

Surely one of Southgate’s starters when the Euros get under way. His direct running from the right will be an important part of England’s attack as they look to go one better this time around.

Jack Grealish

He has suffered a dip in form and injury since winning the treble at Manchester City last season, but he can still draw fouls and commit defenders with his dribbling. If he is playing enough, he should be on the plane to the Euros.

James Maddison

After making his return to the England team last year, his move to Tottenham worked perfectly. It was only injury that put a spanner in the works. But he has done enough to warrant a place, including going to the World Cup and fighting his way back from injury during the tournament.

Marcus Rashford

He was in poor form earlier in the season, but has bounced back in recent weeks and his experience at this level pushes him towards being included.

Eberechi Eze

It could well be Conor Gallagher occupying a sort of ‘wild-card’ spot in the midfield. Gallagher is an excellent tourist and has been playing well. However, Eze has the X-factor that could turn a match off the bench.

His penalty-taking ability could be needed in the knockout stage, for starters. He has slipped back into the Brentford team like he never left after serving a ban for betting-rule breaches.

Ollie Watkins

Two back-up strikers for Kane, who is guaranteed to start, may seem too much. But Watkins deserves his place on merit and on sheer weight of goals this season, even if it means a wide player such as Jarrod Bowen misses out.
