It’s certainly not pocket-sized but in the world of luxury yachting this smaller-than-average vessel is referred to as a ‘pocket superyacht’.
The Virgen del Mar VI, built by Turkish shipyard Alesi for a private client, measures 31 metres long while the biggest superyacht in the world, the Azzam, measures six times this in comparison.
Despite its compact build, the makers of the Virgen del Mar VI say that it’s surprisingly roomy inside and newly-released photographs reveals its luxurious interiors, with five stylish bedrooms to accommodate ten passengers and plenty of room to entertain.

Along with ten passengers, there is space on the yacht to accommodate six crew members.
Commenting on the boat’s design, Alesi’s president Gökhan Çelik said: ‘There are plenty of 30-metre yachts out there, but most are production boats and none of them offer quite the same volume and degree of customisation or bespoke design features.
The yacht was customised to meet the owner’s requirements. The interiors and furnishings were selected by British design firm, Redman Whiteley Dixon

‘There’s nothing quite like her in her size on the market.’
Meanwhile, Frank Laupman the principal at Omega Architects, which crafted the exterior design described the Virgen del Mar VI as an ‘elegant lady of the seas’.
He concluded: ‘Very few 30-metre yachts have the same feeling of space and amenities usually associated with much larger superyachts.
‘The client’s brief was to create a yacht with larger than anticipated proportions in every space, using all available means to achieve that goal.
‘This meant optimising technical spaces, using efficient joinery detailing and storage, maximizing the layout, and making the best use of light and space to simply give the impression of a bigger yacht.’
To help passengers to get into the party spirit of things, there is also a full bar on the yacht’s outer deck
The main floor features an outside decking area which can be accessed via sliding doors from the lounge
