    Yacht enthusiasts who have been waiting for the results of BOAT International’s World Superyacht Awards will be happy to know that the results are in.

    If you’re a member of the elite and looking into a mega-luxe yacht, these are the ones that stand out.

    From groundbreaking technical advancements to fine-crafted interiors, these yachts are some of the most enviable, and expensive in the world, reports CNN.

    Here are the big winners of this year’s competition:

    The eco-superyacht, Black Pearl from Oceanco, is capable of travelling the Atlantic without fuel. It also has a diesel-electric hybrid system.

    Black Pearl (below) cuts a striking figure on the ocean, harking back to sailing days of old while simultaneously bringing superyachts into the 21st century.

    The vessel was given the gongs for Sailing Yacht of the Year and Sailing Yachts 60m and Above.

    “Black Pearl is a truly cutting edge yacht — and a new benchmark for the industry,” says Boat International in a statement.

    I don’t pretend to know a great deal about yachts, but that is very easy on the eye and oozes class.

    Oceanco’s DAR also did really well at the awards.

    Oceanco’s DAR took home the prize for Motor Yacht of the Year, praised for its “shark-like” exterior and on-board waterfall.

    DAR also got the award for Displacement Motor Yachts 2,000GT and Above — a category examining the world’s largest superyachts.

    The boat’s 400 meters of darkened glass panels were praised by the judges for allowing both incredible panoramas and privacy.

    Superyacht Rosehearty (below), owned by American retail developer Joey Kaempfer, won the Voyager’s Award in recognition of a recent journey to the Antarctic.

    Yacht conversions were also recognized — Dream (below), once a cruise ship and now a personal luxury yacht, won in that category.

    Judges were impressed by the vessel’s helipad basketball court and modern interiors.

    The 39-meter G2 superyacht won the Refitted Yachts category — its recent renovation added a larger open deck space and dining room.

    Other yachts worth mentioning include:

    Arcadia Yachts vessel RJ took home the award for Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts 30m to 32,9m:

    The awards also recognised rebuilt yachts with Haida 1929:

    The Cantiere delle Marche yacht Mimi La Sardine won in the Displacement Motor Yachts Below 299GT category:

    The judges said Cecilia, the winner in the ‘Displacement Motor Yachts Between 300GT and 499GT – 48m and Above’ category, “points the way to the future” thanks to its propulsion system in which diesel generators drive electric motors.

    The awards were presented at a ceremony in London.

    Yeah, we’re never going to own one, but it’s still nice to have a little look around.
