Monaco Life explores the luxury and innovation behind some of the most impressive superyachts at the Monaco Yacht Show, including Amaryllis, HBC, Majesty 120, and Resilience.
Monaco Yacht Show was a busy period for Monaco Life, with visits to some of the most impressive superyachts, including Amaryllis, HBC, Majesty 120, and Resilience. These yachts, each unique in their design and offerings, provided an in-depth look into the show’s latest innovations and luxury features.
On 25th September, Monaco Life’s Niki Borisova toured Amaryllis, a 78.43m yacht from Moravia Yachting, which specialises in providing high-end yachts for sale and charter. Built by Abeking & Rasmussen, this superyacht’s standout feature is its stunning interior design, which blends the Belle Époque, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco periods. It also entails a rare curated artwork selection, which would go with the yacht if sold.
Designed by Reymond Langton, the interior showcases custom-made pieces by Silverlining, including artisanal furniture. A few striking elements catch the attention, one being the self-playing piano in the yacht’s lounge. Another is the Monopoly board game engraved into a marble table.
Amaryllis offers accommodation for up to 12 guests across six suites, including a private master suite with its deck. The expansive sun deck, equipped with a jacuzzi, offers panoramic views, while the beach club includes a gym, sauna, steam room, and massage suite, reflecting the growing trend of wellness areas on yachts. Amaryllis, with a crew of 23, has undergone an extensive refit and a 2022 hull repaint, ensuring the yacht remains in top condition.

On 26th September, Monaco Life toured HBC, which is managed by Hill Robinson, the sister company of Moravia Yachting. At 85.65m, this yacht offers vast spaces for relaxation and entertainment. Built by Abeking & Rasmussen and recently refitted with an interior by Winch Design, HBC’s Hamptons-like decor is elegant, with soft neutral tones accented by bright bursts of colour.
The yacht offers accommodation for 12 guests in 11 suites, including a master suite with panoramic views and a his-and-hers en suite complete with a bathtub. Its impressive aft deck spaces set HBC apart, perfect for social gatherings or more intimate, private moments. The yacht’s glass-bottomed pool on the main deck is an eye-catcher, bathing the beach club below in natural light.
HBC has various water toys, including water scooters, jet skis, and a giant inflatable slide. The yacht also offers wellness amenities, such as a fully equipped gym and a massage room, providing a more holistic experience for guests. When asked about the meaning behind the yacht’s name, the chief steward told Monaco Life, “Well, that’s the million-dollar question.”

On 27th September, we toured of Majesty 120, a 37.5m yacht from Gulf Craft, known for its innovative approach to yacht design and engineering. The Majesty 120 is perfect for owners seeking something smaller yet packed with comfort and sophistication. Its sleek lines and commanding profile, enhanced by large expanses of glass, give the yacht an open, airy feel, blending the indoors with the outdoors.
One of the key features of this yacht is its hybrid beach club, which can be converted into tender storage to maximise space for water activities. The sun deck, with a Jacuzzi and a bar, is a space for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, the yacht features handcrafted interiors with luxurious finishes, including marble, leather, and wood, blending two distinct design cultures into a modern yet timeless aesthetic.
The Majesty 120 is also eco-friendly, featuring an award-winning heat recovery system that reduces its carbon footprint by improving fuel efficiency and cutting operational costs. “We try to do as much as possible in regards to saving energy, such as engine cooling and heating systems, and we also use sustainable materials such as bamboo,” Lee Oldroyd, Chief Commercial Officer of Gulf Craft, told Monaco Life.

The day concluded with a visit to Resilience, a 65m yacht built by ISA Yachts and listed for sale through Edmiston Yachts, a global presence in yacht sales, charter, and management. Priced at €65,000,000, Resilience offers accommodation for 12 guests and 17 crew members, making it ideal for large groups or multi-generational families.
The yacht is designed to connect guests to the water, featuring expansive indoor-outdoor spaces, an outdoor cinema, and two swimming pools—one on the main deck with a waterfall feature and another on the sun deck, complete with a fire pit and barbecue area.
Inside, the grand staircase is brought to attention by a stunning glass jellyfish sculpture, a truly impressive piece. Designed by Venetian architect Enrico Gobbi, the interiors are sophisticated yet comfortable, with neutral palettes enhanced by bold accents like the signature backlit onyx and marble features.

Resilience also offers practical features such as convertible home-working offices, catering to the growing trend of ‘work-from-anywhere’ living. For relaxation, guests can enjoy a massage room, a gym with fold-down balconies, and a self-playing translucent Edelweiss piano on the upper deck, as it seems that self-playing pianos are in fashion.
Monaco Life also visited the stunning 122m Kismet superyacht, the largest yacht to have been displayed at the Monaco Yacht Show.
