#23 Crescent - Top Largest Yachts in the World

23. Crescent | 135.5m

Built in 2018, Germany

Crescent, formerly Project Thunder, has what the yard called a "traditionally-styled" interior by Zuretti, exterior design by Espen Øino and naval architecture by Lürssen. Øino went to great lengths to maximise what he calls the "vision lines" from the interior and the decks – especially from the centerline, which on such a beamy boat is a long way from the sides – by having full height windows and keeping the bulwarks as low as possible.

She has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and was built to DNV GL standards. Her striking black hull is matched with a silver superstructure that has distinctive wing stations amidships. Just forward of the wing stations are three-deck windows, providing spectacular views for her 18-strong guest list.
