Black Pearl is one of the most notable yachts to launch in 2017 and stands at almost 107 metres long.

She can accommodate 12 guests in the vessel's six cabins and was built by Dutch construction company Oceanco. One of Black Pearl's most unusual features is that she has solar panels on her sails and can generate electricity from her rotating propellers. This means the boat can cross oceans without using any fuel.

Barbara

Another yacht by Oceanco to make it on to the list is the 88.5 metre long Barbara. It has two levels of forward facing glass doors that open on the folding side balconies. Meanwhile the helideck turns into an outdoor cinema and the main saloon also doubles as a disco.
