Steel hulled yachts:
Steel is an age-long proven solution for luxury superyachts.
Builders use high-tensile steel for making superyacht as it gives strength to the ship's structure. Steel yacht usually has full Displacement or Fast-displacement hull. Steel is one of the best choices for explorers, expedition yachts, mega yachts, trawlers and a few sailing yachts. Steel is a heavy material, but when you need the hull to withstand all the sea can present, there is no alternative. If a megayacht has a steel hull, it can be fast as well. 180 m Lürssen Azzam features a steel hull and hits a top speed of 40 knots.

Aluminium hulled yachts:
Builders use marine-grade aluminium to build a hull when the yacht needs to high structural rigidity and to save weight at the same time. More often than not fast displacement and planing mega yachts have aluminium welded hulls. Usually, a yacht with aluminium hull will have less weight than both steel and fibreglass boat of the same length. Last years have seen the arrival of fast Mangusta Gransport 45 and 54 with their hulls made of aluminium, while Dutch superyacht builder Heesen is building aluminium boats for many years. Largest superyacht in Pershing model line-up, Pershing 140 is built entirely in aluminium too.
