#5: ATTESSA—302'4"The major refit and extension of the yacht formerly known as Evergreen continues. Besides extending the LOA given here by about 26 feet, the work involves changing the decidedly Asian decor and decade-old systems. This is the first of two boats on our list owned by avid yachtsman and Montana industrialist Dennis Washington.

#3: LE GRAND BLEU—370'0''Forty-four-year-old Evgeny (Eugene) Shvidler, an oil and gas billionaire born in Russia but who became an American citizen, enjoys cruising on this big blue boat (hence her name). The yacht was among the first to receive an Environmental Protection Notation from Lloyd’s of London insurance agency because of her sewage and

#27: ALYSIA—279'8"With a nearly one-to-one guest-to-crew ratio, Alysia ensures charter guests are pampered to the max. That's why she's able to demand—and get—weekly rates ranging from €434,000 to €696,500 plus expenses. What are "expenses"? Things like champagnes and premium alcohol, harbor and agency fees, and of course

#28: DELMA—279'8"Last year we were informed that this lady was strictly being used for personal and family trips, but she's actually available for charter, too. In fact, she'll be doing a special charter in Croatia, Slovenia, and Montenegro from late August through early September, where guests will additionally enjoy private on-land excursions to caves,

#5: ISHAM AL BAHER—379'0"This 35-year-old yacht has been undergoing an extensive refit in Greece since last year. As of presstime we had no word on what the scope of the project was nor whether the yacht would be departing. She's registered in Jeddah and was a gift to the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia; his heirs have kept the yacht since his

#8: ATLANTIS II—379'7"Do a quick Google search for info on this yacht, and you may come across some Google Maps showing her berthed in her usual spot in Monaco. Atlantis II rarely departs the port, which has led some bloggers to wonder whether the Niarchos family, the Greek shipping heirs who own her, would let them take her for a spin.

#35: AL DIRIYAH—257'9"When we last checked this yacht's travels in marine-traffic records, she was in Greece and expected to head for Port Said in Egypt. She flies the Saudi Arabian flag and gets her name from the original home of the Saudi royal family and capital of the first Saudi dynasty, from the mid-1700's to the early 1800's.Y: 1960; B:

#36: DELPHINE—257'8"Carpet, furnishings, and other decorative items aboard this restored classic are all replicas of the originals that were aboard in the 1920's. It took six years and reportedly $60 million to bring Delphine back to shape. She's been chartered by some of the world's wealthiest individuals, but come September she'll have yet

#3: PRINCE ABDULAZIZ—482'3"King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia conducts official business aboard but also uses the yacht for relaxation, notably when Prince Abdulaziz is anchored at the royal compound in Marbella, Spain. It took 15 months just to complete the interior of this massive vessel, which reigns as the largest yacht built in the 20th

#23: ASEAN LADY—289'0"Say what you will about Asean Lady's unusual two-hull design, but there's proven principle behind it. Based on an outrigger canoe, it provides a more stable platform in some seas; in fact, the owner, Brian Chang (who also owns the yard which built her), got the idea while watching boats and ships rock and roll in big seas. Of

#19: NAHLIN—300'0"Three years and still going, the refit of this nearly 80-year-old yacht continues in Germany. It began at Nobiskrug, but she was seen in March en route to Hamburg, possibly to the Blohm + Voss shipyard, which was a sister company at the time. Strict confidentiality agreements have kept even the smallest details about the refit from

#22: LAUREN L—295'3"Last year, when Liveras Yachts purchased this boat, then known as Constellation, we knew the yacht-management company would have her undergo a refit—and what a refit it turned out to be. Her sixth deck was extended fully to become a sundeck and to reconfigure the space dedicated to the sauna, hair saloon, and other health

#33: BART ROBERTS—265'0"When a young (think thirtysomething) Saudi purchased this converted ice breaker, one of the first things he had done to the yacht was change her hull from black to red. Her funnel still boasts a crossed-sword design, in keeping with her pirate name. Not all was fun and games aboard, though. Last August a lawsuit was filed in a New
