The world of yachting is one that is extremely exclusive and luxurious. Like automobile brands, there are hundreds if not thousands of different yacht companies out there. Brining a new yacht to market takes a considerable more amount resources, time, and research compared to cars. A lot more goes into producing a 80-foot luxury water vessel that offers four interior cabins, for example. So while we don’t see as many new yachts released each year, that doesn’t mean that we don’t see any. A few leading brands within the yacht industry have already released some new models for this year, so let’s take a look at five of our favorite new sport yachts for 2015.

The 44 Coupe from Tiara Yachts
Tiara Yachts is an American yacht builder that offers a wide range of incredible vehicles. This year they released the 44 Coupe, and its one of the most attractive yachts within its specific category. As the name implies, the vessel is just 44-feet in length, making it one of the smaller sport yachts on the market. However don’t let its size fool you, as this boat is packed with features. On the outside we find a small swimming platform, a few exterior chairs, and a small tanning bed up front. The main galley/bridge has a large, living-room sized couch, a small table, the control console, and even a small kitchen. Below deck the 44 Coupe also offers a master bedroom complete with cabinets, a bathroom/shower, television sets, and more. Additionally there is also a guest bedroom that has two smaller beds and its own bathroom. While it may be a small vessel, the 44 Coupe is very civilized and you could live out on it for a long time in relative levels of comfort. Tiara also offers consumers a wide range of options like a washer/dryer combo, an ice cream maker, a grill, custom furnishings and accents, and more.

The combination of its sleek body and the twin MAN V12 engines allow this yacht to reach speeds of 38 knots (43.7 mph) and it can cut through the water with ease.

The 77S from Azimut
Azimut consistently produces some of the finest examples of motor yachts in the world, and their newest vessel, the 77S, is quite the machine. After seeing great levels of success with their smaller 55S, Azimut went to the drawing boards to create a larger version. It’s a sleek and sexy Italian sport yacht that’s feature rich and a solid performer. It’s powered by three Volvo D13 engines that manage to pump out 887 hp in total. It has ample exterior space, and plenty of room down below. It offers a main galley/kitchen, a living room area, two large cabins that have private bathrooms, two additional cabins with two beds in each room, a guest bathroom, and even two cabins for crew members. Excluding the crew, the 77S can easily sleep eight people in total, and there’s even room for a small dinghy. Naturally, because it’s Italian, the interior spaces are extremely stylish and luxurious. Picture what a Ritz-Carlton hotel looks like, yeah, that’s kind of what this interior is like. It’s definitely in the ultra, high-end of sport yachts, but it’s still one of the best that we’ve seen this year.
