By Katie Scott 5 May 2026

Continuing to make her mark on the industry, the iconic 389.9ft (118.8m) superyacht charter BREAKTHROUGH triumphed at the 2026 World Superyacht Awards, coming with not one but two new awards.

Launched in 2025 as the world's first hydrogen fuel-cell powered superyacht, BREAKTHROUGH lives up to her name with multiple onboard developments that bring the yachting industry closer to a greener footprint.

Already holding five awards, her newest achievements take her trophy cabinet up to seven, bringing her on par with other industry favorites like 400ft (122m) luxury yacht charter KISMET, who also holds seven accolades against her name.

Winning the awards for Displacement Motor Yachts - 5,000GT and above, and the highly coveted Motor Yacht of the Year, these esteemed commendations highlight the continuing impression that BREAKTHROUGH has on the luxury yachting industry.
