M/Y Azzam, seen here in Cadiz, Spain, during the summer of 2020, is the world's longest luxury yacht
This list of motor yachts by length, is a table of the world's longest active superyachts, with an overall length of at least 75 metres (246 ft) and up.
These boats are also known as "megayachts", "gigayachts" and even "terayachts", usually depending on length.[1][2] It has been generally accepted by naval architects and industry executives that superyachts range from 37 m (≈120 ft) to 60 m (≈200 ft), while those over 60 m are known as megayachts and boats over 90 m (≈300 ft) have been referred to as giga-yachts.[3][4]
The only legal distinction between boats above 24 m (78.75 ft) and below is that those above 24 m are viewed as a yacht and therefore must have a licensed skipper on board.[5]

Yacht seizures
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, many countries announced sanctions against Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin, along with a group of men known as Russian oligarchs, that are close friends as well as business and political allies of Putin. The sanctions have led to the seizure of their bank accounts and properties through civil forfeiture, (outside of Russia and non-participating countries), including yachts, private jets, expensive artworks, luxury homes, etc., alleging these assets to be the proceeds of crime. All these assets are to be auctioned off, for the benefit of the people of Ukraine.[250]
