Wanderlust is what happens when a yacht builder known for performance turns its hand to a superyacht: an 85-metre aluminium hull from SilverYachts, shaped by Espen Oeino, that trades the usual displacement-hull cruising speed for something closer to twice it. She was delivered in 2022 and carries her size lightly — 1,561 gross tons across a hull built for speed as much as volume.

Life aboard Eight staterooms across an aluminium-hulled 85 metres, chartering at just twelve guests, give Wanderlust a guest-to-space ratio few yachts her length can match, with SilverYachts' own studio behind the interior. Twenty-three crew keep the ratio close enough to a private villa that the boat rarely feels its own size.
On the water This is where Wanderlust breaks from the pack: twin MTU diesels push her to 23 knots flat out and hold 18 knots cruising — several knots faster than most yachts in her class — while a 5,800 nautical mile range at 14 knots means long ocean crossings without a fuel stop factored into the itinerary.
Where she cruises Wanderlust follows the sun: winters in the Caribbean, where her range means island-hopping between St. Barths, the Grenadines and the BVIs without worrying about the next fuel stop, then repositions for a Mediterranean summer along the French Riviera and the Amalfi coast, where that 23-knot top speed turns what's normally a day's transit between anchorages into an afternoon.
