The Patreon account (since deleted) belonging to <em>Loon<\/em> stated that \u201cthe situation isn\u2019t as severe as some media outlets may have portrayed.\u201d However, some of the crew later confirmed on their social media accounts that serious injuries resulted.

Although the yachts of <em>Below Deck<\/em> are perennially part of conversations, one yacht (above and top) overshadowed them all this year. <a href=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/2025\/10\/superyacht-savannah-the-woman-in-cabin-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The superyacht\u00a0<em>Savannah<\/em> starred in the Netflix film <em>The Woman in Cabin 10<\/em><\/a>. Abundant scenes take place on deck and throughout her decks, in fact. Based on critics\u2019 and Netflix subscribers\u2019 reviews, she was the best part about the movie. Filming conditions were challenging, to say the least, according to co-star Keira Knightley. It was cold, and the cast were warned to avoid damaging anything. Referring to her experience with the\u00a0<em>Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em>\u00a0series, she says, \u201cFilming on the pirate ship is easier, because you can break the pirate ship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"558\" src=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Project-715-Valor-launch-1-1024x558.jpg\" alt=\"Feadship Project 715 yacht Valor launch\" class=\"wp-image-81323\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:780px;height:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Project-715-Valor-launch-1-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Project-715-Valor-launch-1-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Project-715-Valor-launch-1-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Project-715-Valor-launch-1-1536x837.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Project-715-Valor-launch-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-a227a5e\" id=\"yacht-valor-owner-and-3-dogs-cant-wait-to-go-exploring\" data-block-id=\"a227a5e\"><div class=\"myn-heading-wrapper\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Yacht Valor Owner\u2014and 3 Dogs\u2014Can\u2019t Wait to Go Exploring<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Onlookers trying to find information about <em>Valor<\/em> made her one of the biggest yacht news stories of the year. It\u2019s no wonder they were curious. Between her grey exterior paint color and a large \u201c97\u201d on her bow, the 261-footer (nearly 81-meter) doesn\u2019t look typical. She\u2019s certainly not typical, either. <a href=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/2025\/05\/yacht-valor-owner-3-dogs-feadship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Her American owner wants to traverse remote, icy regions with his dogs<\/a>\u2014three golden retrievers, to be exact.

Mark Drewelow one of the saddest yacht news stories of the year. He founded the non-profit YachtAid Global after spending a decade circumnavigating at the helm of a private yacht. Visiting nearly six dozen countries during that time taught him that local communities regularly enjoyed interacting with captains, crews, owners, and guests. From providing school supplies to medical aid and basic needs following natural disasters, YachtAid Global coordinated more than 300 yachts in more than 25 countries. Its work continues with Drewelow\u2019s wife, two children, and colleagues all still heavily involved in, as its tagline says, \u201cChanging the World Without Changing Course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Oceanco-delivers-Leviathan2.jpg\" alt=\"yacht Leviathan owner Gabe Newell\" class=\"wp-image-85148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Oceanco-delivers-Leviathan2.jpg 780w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Oceanco-delivers-Leviathan2-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/megayachtnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Oceanco-delivers-Leviathan2-768x394.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-9c01b32\" id=\"yacht-leviathan-owner-gabe-newell-has-a-vision-unlike-any-other\" data-block-id=\"9c01b32\"><div class=\"myn-heading-wrapper\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Yacht Leviathan Owner Gabe Newell Has a Vision Unlike Any Other<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 364 feet (111 meters), with accommodations for 26 guests and 37 among the captain and crew, the yacht <em>Leviathan<\/em> is, well, a leviathan.
