Top Five 34m-36m/115-120 ft Displacement Luxury Yachts You Can Buy Today

The 34m/114 ft yacht category has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, prompting major yacht builders to offer models in this segment. These yachts typically feature a layout with 5 guest cabins, 4 crew cabins, a spacious main saloon and dining area, and an expansive upper deck complete with a skylounge and hot tub. In this article, we'll compare displacement models built by renowned Italian yards Benetti, Baglietto, Cantiere delle Marche, Ocean King, and the Netherlands-based Van der Valk shipyard.

With the exception of Cantiere delle Marche, these yachts feature hulls with nearly vertical bows. This design not only maximizes interior space but also extends the waterline for improved speed and range, giving these luxury yachts a modern aesthetic. Additionally, all of these yachts boast spacious open stern areas with a 'Beach Club'.

Let's take a closer look at five outstanding European luxury yachts: the Bafglietto DOM115, Benetti Oasis 34, Cantiere delle Marche RJ115, Ocean King Ducale 120, and Van der Valk Project 111.11. The DOM115, Oasis 34, and RJ115 are derived from their larger counterparts, while Ocean King Ducale 120 and Van der Valk Project 111.11 are full custom vessels.

In terms of construction, the DOM115, RJ115, and Ducale 120 benefit from sturdy steel hulls, whereas the Oasis 34 features a GRP/composite hull, and the Van der Valk Project 111.11 is built in aluminum.


Here's a brief overview of each yacht:

BAGLIETTO DOM115:

The DOM 115, the smallest in the DOM series, packs an impressive array of features that are sure to mirror the success of its larger counterpart, the DOM 133. Among its standout features are the three-sided openable skylounge doors, thanks to sliding glass on the port and starboard sides. With a remarkable range of 2,800 nautical miles, this range can be extended even further if you opt for the hybrid powerplant. This not only extends your voyage but also ensures a serene anchoring experience, as it eliminates the need to run generators for hotel needs.

Pros:

  • Steel Hull
  • Upper deck veranda
  • Hybrid power option

BENETTI OASIS 34M:

The Oasis 34M, another triumph by the world's largest yacht builder, follows in the footsteps of the highly successful Oasis 40. With no less than 20 units of the Oasis 34M sold, it has become one of the most extensively researched yachts on the internet. Owners particularly admire the elegant lines conceived by the British RWD studio. The standout feature is the 'Oasis' deck, equipped with foldable bulwarks that significantly expand the beach club. Additionally, the flexible layout allows the future owner to position the main dining area either in the main saloon or the skylounge on the upper deck.

Pros:

  • Oasis deck at stern
  • Flexible layout
  • High demand and predictable resale value

CANTIERE DELLE MARCHE RJ115:

These include a jacuzzi on the sundeck, custom-made interiors, and a range of 5,500 nautical miles at an economical cruising speed. The yacht is powered by two heavy-duty Caterpillar diesel engines for enhanced reliability.

A new model from the Ocean King shipyard, known for its roots in commercial shipbuilding, the Ducale 120 features not one, but two swimming pools on board. One is filled with seawater and placed in the beach club, while the other is heated and located on the sundeck. With a massive interior room at 344 GT, the Ducale offers the most spacious interior among its competitors.

While the yacht under construction is commissioned by an American owner and not available for sale, Van der Valk is open to building a sister ship with similar design and characteristics. Project 111.11 features a hull and superstructure in welded aluminum, providing benefits like reduced displacement and draft. This is especially advantageous for exploring remote islands and areas like the Bahamas. As a family-owned Dutch shipyard with 40 years of experience, Van der Valk has earned a reputation as one of the most advanced and quality-driven luxury yacht builders globally. With only a few yachts delivered annually, the level of attention to client needs is unparalleled.

Pros:
