This stunner combines the best in speed, style and performance. Otam has made several Millennium models, but their 2017 edition (build started in 2015) is the result of years of research and development. Made in America and with a fiberglass hull, you’d be proud to march along the ocean at its 40-knot cruising speed.

There is nothing understated about this behemoth. Built by German shipyard Lurssen, it’s marketed as a “lifestyle investment” more than a boat. You could essentially go off the grid with a gym, swim-up bar and a ridiculously lavish stateroom to retire to after a day on the water. Martha Ann has more exclusive trim work than you’d care to know and comes with a selection of high-end water toys like jet skis and scuba gear.

Aston Martin AM 37 – $1 million+

Built in conjunction with Quintessence Yachts, The boat is a tribute to the design of many of their cars including the Vulcan and new DB11. It has the flexibility to transform into an overnight vessel too as the cabin table flips into a bed. Every finish is made with the finest materials and the handsome woods and leathers are exactly what you’d expect from the brand.
