“Whilst over 20% of Superyachts are for sale at any given time, sale prices are rarely disclosed to the market place and therefore VesselsValue’s aim is to make the market more transparent and be the number one go to valuation service for Superyachts globally” states Chief Commercial Officer, Matthew Freeman.

The worlds largest live Motor Yacht (by Gross Tonnage) is M/Y Dilbar, 15,917 GT / 156m LOA, blt 2016 Lurssen which has a VV value today of USD 648 mil. This one of a kind Superyacht is owned by Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov.
