Luxury for $4 Million and Four Weeks at Sea: Mercedes-Maybach Unveils an Exclusive Floating Club

Mercedes-Maybach is taking luxury to a new level — this time, not on the road but out at sea. The brand has unveiled plans for an exclusive yachting community called the Maybach Ocean Club, centered around the 155-meter superyacht Beyond Horizons. Membership is expected to cost around $4 million, with annual fees running into seven figures.

The project is designed for just 300 wealthy members from around the world. Each will be entitled to spend four weeks a year aboard the yacht. At any one time, however, no more than 72 guests will be on board, ensuring privacy and the feel of a private yacht experience without the responsibility of owning and maintaining a vessel.

Beyond Horizons is expected to make its maiden voyage in 2029. In scale, the vessel will resemble a small luxury cruise ship more than a traditional private yacht. It will measure approximately 155 meters in length, with an internal volume exceeding 15,000 gross tonnes.

The yacht will feature 30 suites offering the same high level of comfort, each with a private balcony and panoramic windows. Every suite will measure approximately 74 square meters. Other amenities are set to include additional guest cabins, expansive outdoor decks, a multi-level swimming pool, a beach club, spa and fitness facilities, restaurants and panoramic lounges.

For guests seeking more active pursuits, a separate support vessel measuring around 70 meters will carry equipment for water sports and other activities. Helicopters are also planned for guest transfers.

Life at sea will be only one part of the club experience. Organizers plan to host private dinners, business gatherings, wellness programs, concerts and art exhibitions on board. The calendar will also include events on land, featuring collaborations with fashion houses, watchmakers and other private clubs.

Unlike traditional yacht ownership, members will not have to operate the vessel, hire a crew, arrange maintenance or organize and pay for every trip individually. These responsibilities will be handled by the project’s operator. Membership is intended to offer more than access to a luxury yacht: it will also provide entry into an international community of people with shared interests.

The proposed membership price has not yet been officially confirmed.
