The largest sailing yacht in the world is a Club Med resort on water

Club Med 2, a 187-metre sailing yacht, operates as a floating resort and is billed as the largest sailing yacht in the world. Part of Club Med’s Exclusive Collection, the French all-inclusive operator says the ship has five masts and 2,500 square metres of sails. The brand plans to retire that crown later this year when Orient Express Corinthian launches, replacing it as a flagship in this “hotel superyacht” category. The article describes a relaxed three-night voyage from Nice, with port calls in Santa Margherita Ligure (for Portofino) and Saint-Tropez. It notes a €9 million interior refit for the ship’s 30th birthday in 2022, including a Riviera-style color palette and Burmese teak across the top deck’s 2,700 square metres. With 373 passengers, the design spreads public spaces across upper decks and includes a 36-square-metre suite featuring two bathrooms after the refurbishment.
