This 22-year-old jewel is reportedly on the market for US$12 million. Owned by financier David Lieu and docked close to his private shipyard in Tsing
Yi, this superyacht continues the Lieu tradition of prefacing his yachts' names with the word 'Van'. Van Triumph's predecessor, built by the same shipyard,
was made of wood.

Up two places to number two. The third largest yacht ever built by Benetti's Viareggio shipyard, this superyacht replaced the Hong Kong-based owner’s
previous 146ft Ambrosia. Standing six storeys high, from the bottom to the observatory deck, Ambrosia III boasts over 400 rooms, including
a state-of-the-art medical clinic, gymnasium and beauty salon. Technologically sophisticated, this diesel-electric yacht is powered by a pair of compact
Azipods that will take her to a cruising speed of 15 knots and is equipped with a dynamic positioning system that will hold her in one position without
the use of an anchor. Her Art Deco interior includes hand-painted murals and an original fresco from French artist Jean Dupas. Moored in the Gold Coast
Marina in Hong Kong.

After the sale of Evergreen, Asean Lady takes the top spot. Apart from her size, Asean Lady is also unique for her shape. She is the
only yacht in the world whose design is based on a proa, an outrigger canoe used for centuries in the South Pacific. Her configuration provides
a huge deck space and, because of the efficiency of her proa-inspired hull, she powers along on only a single 2000hp engine. Singaporean tycoon Brian
Chang owns Asean Lady and had her built in his Yantai Raffles shipyard. Able to cruise at 15 knots, her stability was put to the test in December
2004 when, while anchored off Phuket, she survived the tsunami unscathed.
