Best Lurssen Yachts for Sale

One of the premier shipyards in Europe, Lürssen is a trusted name in yacht building. The brand is renowned for its  new construction yachts  that are as beautiful as they are powerful, functional and innovative. Since 1875, the Lürssen family has dedicated itself to building the most impressive vessels on the water. The philosophy born more than a century ago that yachts from Lürssen would be both of the highest quality and the best performance lives on today. The firm’s deep-rooted connection to shipbuilding and German seafaring excellence is evident in every hull launched by the renowned builder. All Lürssen yachts are custom built to owners’ specifications with an uncompromising dedication to quality and style. Lürssen builds yachts from 164 feet (50m) in length to larger than 590 feet (180m). Lürssen’s advanced craftspeople, technicians, naval architects and specialized engineers collaborate flexibly with one another and yacht owners to create bold, poetic works of art.

Lurssen Yachts Heritage

Lürssen was founded in 1875 by Friedrich Lürssen who trained as a boatbuilder to work alongside his father in the boatyard. His father encouraged Friedrich to open his own yard and on June 27, Friedrich opened the doors to his boatbuilding workshop in Aumund, near Bremen, Germany. The first yacht built by Lürssen boasted both quality and originality; these two traits have become hallmarks of the Lürssen brand.

The Lürssen moniker originally built racing rowboats for Bremen oarsmen, but as time passed, the word about the impressive quality of Lürssen’s builds spread. Orders began coming in from all over Germany as the builder acquired a reputation for boats that were built to the highest possible standards with outstanding craftsmanship.lurssen yacht project at dock outside lurssen shipyard in germany

In 1886 Lürssen then changed the game by building the world’s first motorboat. A special commission by Gottlieb Daimler, an inventor and engine manufacturer who wanted to test his engines on the water, the 19-foot (6m) REMS was built and thus a new legacy for Lürssen was born.

As the demand for Lürssen-built crafts grew, the yard needed to expand. By the turn of the 20th century, the Lürssen yard was able to access open water directly thanks to the yards new site in Bremen-Vegesack. Another early 20th-century feat was the launch of Lürssen’s DONNERWETTER racing speedboat that was able to reach up to 35 knots courtesy of its 40hp engine. It was at this same time that Friedrich Lürssen’s son Otto joined the family business. He came to the firm with a shipbuilding engineering background, a high level of craftsmanship and new technical expertise. Otto was dedicated to improving methods to elevate the brand’s quality of craft further. This spirit of innovation and emphasis on quality remains today.

Throughout the proceeding 50 years, Lürssen enjoyed continued successes. The LÜRSSEN-DAIMLER became a racing champion, the OHEKA II set new standards of speed; with her the Maybach engines that allowed her to achieve a top speed of 34 knots, she became the world’s fastest commuter yacht and the 118-foot (36m) AAR IV was the world’s longest motor yacht. During this time, the company celebrated its 50th anniversary and sadly said goodbye to Otto, but his wife Frieda took the helm of the company, continuing its success. Eventually, Otto’s and Frieda’s sons Gert and Fritz-Otto came aboard and delivered the impressive 180-foot (55m) PEGASUS II.

In 1971 Lürssen again changed the game with the CARINTHIA VI. A 232-foot (71m) luxury yacht designed by Jon Bannenberg — his first major yacht project — the CARINTHIA VI raised the bar for modern styling and created a signature look that can still be seen in the Lürssen yachts of today.

Lürssen continues to build the world’s most advanced and stylish luxury yachts

The Lurssen Mega Yacht Fleet

In the 1980s the fourth generation of Lürssens, Friedrich and Peter, joined the company, continuing the strong family heritage. The firm also moved its production to Lemwerder. Lürssen then took over Kröger Werft, which had docks on the Kiel Canal near Rendsburg. This allowed the firm to specialize in building yachts between 197 feet (60m) and 360 feet (110m) and begin refit and conversion work. The Lürssen yards were operating at 90 percent capacity with navy contracts and so the firm decided to split production between yacht and navy building.

By the 1990s Lürssen yachts were renowned around the world as the top-tier of luxury. The brand delivered the 318-foot (97m) megayacht LIMITLESS, designed by Jon Bannenberg, in 1997. The 2000s meant more yard acquisitions for Lürssen as it purchased the Neue Jadewerft shipyard in Wilhelmshaven on the German North Sea where the brand could work on repairs and conversions of vessels up to 492 feet (150m) long. The Lürssen name has attracted the world’s top yacht designers for decades. In 2012, two of these renowned designers, Tim Heywood and Terence Disdale, styled the interior and exterior of 483-foot (147.25m) yacht TOPAZ. That same year the Norderwerft shipyard in Hamburg was acquired by the Lürssen Group and in 2013 the Peene Werft shipyard in Wolgast, Germany, also joined the firm. Throughout this time, the brand continued to build and deliver the world’s most impressive yachts. In 2013, Lürssen delivered the 592-foot (180.65m) AZZAM, which was at the time the world’s largest yacht. She also reached incredible speeds of 30 knots — a true feat for her size. The build took only three years, which set another impressive bar for the builder. Two-thousand-sixteen saw another impressive delivery: DILBAR, a 512-foot (156m) luxury superyacht was the largest yacht in terms of gross tonnage. At 15,917-tons, she offered a level of amenities never before seen on a yacht. She boasted the most state-of-the-art technology and was delivered in just 52 months.

Lürssen continues to build the world’s most advanced and stylish luxury yachts. Its impressive heritage and dedication are second to none.

Lurssen is Environmentally Conscious

The Lürssen family has a deep respect for the sea and consistently applies environmentally friendly tactics to its yacht-building process. Its superyachts have greater fuel efficiency and decreased soot, CO2 and noise emissions. Lürssen also is the first yacht builder to make extensive use of engine and generator waste heat to operate the ship’s onboard desalination drinking water system. The brand continues to invest in research and development that promote sustainability and energy technologies such as hybrids and fuel cells. Lürssen is proud to contribute to the Blue Marine Foundation, a marine biodiversity conservation organization.

“Lürssen yachts for charter are some of the most sought-after on the charter market,” says Northrop & Johnson charter broker Fiona Maureso .  “This is because of the quality of the yachts and the amenities available on board. Lürssen yachts are state-of-the-art, but they also are timeless. Clients understand the level of excellence they will receive when they step aboard a Lürssen superyacht. This level of superiority is something clients have come to expect of charter yachts from the brand.”

Lürssen is proud to have built some of the most impressive yachts in the world. Some of these include the 403-foot (123m) AL LUSAIL, the 508-foot (155m) AL SAID, the 456-foot (139m) AL SALAMAH, the 592-foot (180m) AZZAM, the 511-foot (156m) DILBAR, the 403-foot (123m) GOLDEN ODYESSY, the 454-foot (138m) RISING SUN and the 483-foot (147m) TOPAZ to name a few. Lürssen also is extremely proud of the yachts in its 50-to-90-meter range; which represent the brand’s core business. The 196-foot (60m) OASIS, 206-foot (63m) POLAR STAR, 278-foot (85m) SOLANDGE and the 311-foot (95m) KISMET are examples of yachts in this incredible range and are not only impressively built and beautiful, but also renowned as some of the most prominent in the global fleet.

Lürssen is a family-owned yacht builder, deeply steeped in tradition with its foot firmly planted in the future. For more information on Lürssen yachts for sale, a new build Lürssen, or to charter a Lürssen , contact your preferred  Northrop & Johnson  broker.

Lurssen Yachts For Sale

Interested in the history of a premier yacht builder that takes you a long way back back to 1875? If it’s to be educated on the evolution of the world renowned brand —Lurssen—of course one would. Allow us to introduce you to boatbuilder, Friedrich Lurßen. His wish, at this time, was to work with his father, Luder Lurssen in his shipyard. However, Luder recommended his son open his own yard to ensure a double income. So, Friedrich - just 24 -followed his dad’s suggestion and so in Aumund, Germany, his shipyard was born. Just from his first creation, Friedrich becomes known for his future trademarks: innovative design and superior quality. The shipyard flourishes with a few orders even being placed with his father.

By 1883, Lurssen, who at first was only building racing rowboats for local oarsmen, began taking orders from the rest of the country of Germany. These stunningly designed beauties were also gaining attention for their superb state-of-the-art workmanship and lightweight hull giving them an edge in the speed department allowing for a win in any regatta.

List Of Lurssen Yachts On The Brokerage Market

Lurssen decided, in 1886, to construct the world’s first motorboat—REMS—measuring 6 meters. She was commissioned by Gottlieb Daimier, the inventor and engine manufacturer who wanted her to put his new engine through its paces.

By 1904, Lurssen’s yard grows a bit more adding a site with open water access in Bremen-Vegesack.

1905 was the year that Otto Lurßen, Friedrich’s only son, built DONNERWETTER —a highlight achievement for this time. With a 40-hp engine, Donnerwetter, could hit speeds close to 35 knots!

And a few years later, in 1907, the 2nd generation of Lurssen comes into play when Otto becomes a partner in his dad’s firm adding much value. A former shipbuilding engineer, he took the build to an elevated level of craftsmanship with upgraded technical brains, fine tuning past techniques. And so the present day spirit of Lurssen’s distinctive quality and original ethos.

The Lurssen-Daimler speedboat came onto the scene in 1911-1912. Her 102-hp engine was the highlight of the racing season. Set the stage in Monaco, and she wins the Champion of the Sea —the unofficial world championship. She then continues her wins with the Prix de la Côte d’Azur and the Grand Prix des Nations and all in the same year. Then a second speed boat, the Saurer-Lurssen, was the result of Swiss engine manufacturer, Adolf Saurer, joining forces. This time SHE sets an unofficial world record in the Prix de Monte Carlo with a steady speed of 32 knots.

Almost ten years later, we arrive to the year 1925 when two milestones are hit by Lurssen. The first being this thriving company building a 14-meter wooden motor yacht — it’s 10,000th vessel AND celebrating their 50th anniversary!

Oheka II was the highlight of 1927. This speed-demon was equipped with three Maybach engines taking her to top speeds of 34 knots making her the world’s fastest commuter yacht. Later that year, they then build the 36 meter Aar IV, the world’s longest motor yacht.

A sad and bitter year for all, 1932 brought the sudden death of Otto Lurßen, only 52, leaving the company with just the memory of his open-mindedness and love for innovation. Frieda Lürßen, his wife, the determined daughter of a large cruise ship captain, takes the reigns and the shipyard sets sail under her direction.

As the company reaches its third generation in 1938, Gert Lurßen joins Frieda (her son) – bringing along his passion for motorboats passed down from his dad. Adding some excitement, he set a fabulous world speed record in a Lurssen diesel-powered speedboat, reaching a whopping 68.2 km/h.

Business became rough in 1948 in the wake of the war. Scraping the barrels and starting over was the norm during this period —even for Lurssen. The brothers Gert and Fritz-Otto Lürßen agreed to divide the shares of the company, all he’d jointly with their mother Frieda.

As we slide on forward to the year 1962, Frieda Lurßen, who did amazing work for all these years decides to hand over control of the firm to her sons Gert and Fritz-Otto. That very year the 55-meter yacht PEGASUS II is delivered to a London shipowner.

1971 brings us Carinthia VI — designed by Jon Bannenberg making her his first major yacht project. Even up to today, the 71-meter vessel with her ever present contemporary styling, is seen as the precursor of today’s Lurssen yachts.

And all media was a buzz as Lurssen celebrated a century in business as of 1975.

Then the 4th generation was born in 1977. At the age of 27, Friedrich Lürßen hops aboard the company. With a degree in business administration, worked his way through almost all of the departments of the shipyard, he soons assumes a senior position.

1985 was the year they transfer the shipbuilding work to Lemwerder.

Peter Lurßen joined the company in 1987. Peter studied shipbuilding and industrial engineering in Germany and business administration in the United States along with much hands-on experience. Peter had worked for a year as a construction inspector at different Japanese shipyards, and had familiarized himself with various Lurssen departments.

They soon add another location with docks able to accommodate 60 to 110 meters long - on the Kiel Canal near Rendsburg. Yacht refits and conversions can also be handled here.

1988 moves us to a time when Lurssen shipyards were operating at 90 percent capacity with navy contracts. The company then chooses to split production between naval and yacht business leaving them to devote half of its production capacity to constructing large yachts. In the process they then set up a new yachtbuilding division to aid this market.

1997 brought the 97-meter megayacht LIMITLESS, also designed by the well regarded designer Jon Bannenberg.

Acquisi joined the fleet in in 2004 when Lurssen purchases the Neue Jadewerft shipyard in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. She was useful in handling naval vessels as well as maintenance, repair and conversion work on vessels up to 150 meters long!

The Norderwerft shipyard in Hamburg decides to join forces with the Lurssen Group in October 2012. Handling repair and maintenance of commercial shipping vessels as well as ship maintenance for the German Navy, the company scores a great space.

As we reach the time May 2013, Lurssen decides to purchase the Peene Werft shipyard in Wolgast, Germany. The facility builds yachts as well as handles new build and repair services for naval vessels.

Then up next, we have the longest yacht in the world. Lurssen delivered the world’s longest yacht in 2015. Here we introduce you to AZZAM, a 180.65 meters stunner. Setting a record for length and speed -yes she reaches well over 30 knots, she’s also looked up to for her build time —taking less than three years.

And then a year later in 2016, we find the birth of Dilbar, the largest motor yacht ever in terms of gross tonnage. At 156 meters she was built with all the features that wow the crowds with her state-of-the-art technology. She is one of the most intricate and spectacular yachts ever built. The 15,917-ton vessel features luxury entertainment and recreation spaces like one has never seen before. And to think this masterpiece was completed in just 52 months.

When choosing a Lurssen, one will feel most confident of the decision made due to the extraordinary grasp they have of all aspects of boatbuilding that’s been passed down generation to generation which few yacht-builders can declare.

It’s hard to find a better build with more than 13,000 boats and ships built since 1875. And let’s also keep in mind that many of these are still in service after decades too —a brand that speaks for itself.

And for the record, there’s been no other shipyard to deliver as many of the world's top 20 largest yachts as Lurssen.

The 10 biggest Lürssen superyachts

Related articles.

First founded in 1875, German shipyard Lürssen has grown to become one of the world’s leading builders of luxury superyachts. The yard has launched some of the world’s most iconic superyachts, including the 127 metre Octopus , 138 metre Rising Sun and the longest yacht in the world, the 180.61 metre Azzam . In fact, Lürssen currently holds a near-monopoly in the construction of supersized superyachts, having delivered 13 of the world’s top 25. BOAT rounds up the 10 largest superyachts ever built by Lürssen .

Length: 180.61m

Launched in 2013, Lürssen’s 180 metre superyacht Azzam remains the largest yacht in the world . The flagship of the German yard’s fleet, Azzam features exterior design penned by   Nauta Design . Azzam’s impressive propulsion package consists of two gas turbine engines and 2 x MTU diesel engines driving two Wartsila axial flow Modular waterjets and two boosters. Altogether they produce 97,000hp, resulting in a top speed of 33 knots. This means that Azzam is not only the largest yacht in the world but one of the fastest too.

Length: 156m

The 156 metre Dilbar is the largest Lürssen superyacht by volume, with a massive 15,917GT spread across seven decks. Following Dilbar’s delivery in 2016, the yard revealed the yacht claimed two other records – a 180 cubic metre swimming pool believed to be the largest on any yacht, and a 30,000kw diesel-electric power plant. The propulsion package is thought to be the most powerful ever fitted to a superyacht and results in a cruising speed of 22.5 knots. Dilbar features exterior design by Espen Øino with interiors by Winch Design and is currently the fourth longest yacht in the world.

Length : 155m

The 155 metre Al Said , which was delivered in 2008, holds the record as the fifth largest yacht in the world and also includes a cavernous 15,850GT traditionally styled interior designed by RWD . Inside, Al Said offers huge entertaining spaces and accommodation for a total of 65 guests, but the yacht’s standout feature must be its on board concert hall large enough to hold a 50-person orchestra. First delivered in 2008, Al Said’s exterior comes from the boards of Espen Øino .

Length: 147.25m

Previously known as Topaz , the Tim Heywood designed A+ was first delivered in 2012 and is understood to have been previously owned by Middle Eastern royal and politician Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Listed among the largest superyachts in the world, A+  features a helicopter landing pad at its bow and interiors penned by Terence Disdale .

Length: 141.6m

Delivered in 2021, the 141.6 metre Lürssen superyacht Nord was a new entry into the top 25 largest yachts in the world this year. Designed by Nuvolari Lenard, Nord was known as Opus and Project Redwood while in-build and boasts a number of premium superyacht features including a sports and diving centre on the lower deck, a large swimming pool and two superyacht helipads. Nord is accompanied by a fleet of tenders measuring up to 15 metres on its worldwide adventures and features accommodation for 36 guests in 20 staterooms.

Scheherazade

Length: 140m

Lürssen’s 140 metre superyacht Scheherazade is another new entry to the list following delivery in 2020 . Previously known as Project Lightning, Scheherazade features an Espen Øino-designed exterior and four-deck aluminium superstructure. Key exterior features include two large helipads – one at the bow and one on the upper deck – and a prominent beach club aft. Reportedly owned by a Middle Eastern billionaire, this yacht is designed with warmer climates in mind.

Length: 139.29m

Launched in 1999 as the largest yacht in the world, Al Salamah once belonged to Saudi royalty, Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz. Designed inside and out by Terence Disdale , Al Salamah features a 12,234GT interior large enough to accommodate a total of 40 guests in 21 staterooms and a further 96 crew members.

Length: 138.01m

Delivered in 2004, Lürssen’s 138 metre Rising Sun was the last yacht to ever come from designer Jon Bannenberg’s drawing board. Originally built for former Oracle CEO Larry Eliison, Rising Sun experimented with extensive use of structural glass, resulting in a clean profile. Now owned by media mogul David Geffen, Rising Sun boasts 8,000 square meters of living space and can accommodate 16 guests and 45 crew members. Other features include a wine cellar and basketball court.

Length: 136m

Famous for being the most expensive charter yacht in the world with a price tag of €3m a week, the 136-metre, six-deck Lürssen yacht Flying Fox features a curving exterior designed by Espen Øino with interiors from Mark Berryman . Among Flying Fox’s premium features are a total of five fireplaces, an in-built irrigation system for the yacht’s array of greenery and the first cryosauna ever installed on a yacht. Elsewhere, Flying Fox is fitted with two galleys – one for crew and one for guests – run by a total of four permanent chefs.

Length : 135.5m

The 135.5 metre Crescent is the tenth biggest Lürssen superyacht in the world and like many on this list boasts the exterior design signature of Espen Øino. Delivered in 2018, Crescent has a 21 metre beam and 9194GT interior volume with styling penned by Francois Zuretti . Other features include a striking black hull with a bulbous bow with a five-deck superstructure.

15 extraordinary superyachts setting sail in 2024

Posted: 19 March 2024 | Last updated: 7 July 2024

Breathtaking dream boats launching this year

Ready to discover the ultimate in nautical eye candy?

With the largest-ever superyacht poised to grace the high seas – and several other spectacular launches on the horizon – 2024 is tipped to be a truly unforgettable year for fans of floating palaces.

Jump aboard to discover the most hotly anticipated superyachts scheduled for delivery this year, from state-of-the-art explorers to a record-breaking model that's expected to cost a staggering $600 million (£470m).  All dollar amounts in US dollars.

Custom YS 75 Hybrid: Cost unknown

Ushering in a new generation of high-end eco explorers, this expedition vessel from Damen Yachting in the Netherlands boasts a hybrid propulsion system for zero-emission cruising. For the uninitiated, a hybrid propulsion system uses two or more forms of propulsion, such as a biofuel or diesel engine combined with an electric machine.

As buyers become increasingly aware of environmental concerns, naval architects and yachtbuilders are devising green-leaning vessels that don't compromise on style, luxury, or performance. Damen is among the firms leading the way.

Designed by innovative London studio Michael Leach Design and engineered in-house, the 247-foot (75.2m) Custom YS 75 Hybrid has cutting-edge features, including a touch-and-go helipad and a crane for deploying tenders.

It can accommodate 24 crew members and up to 12 guests across six staterooms and boasts plush entertaining areas.

Due to launch early this year, the innovative vessel will also be the first private superyacht equipped with commercial-grade cultivation pods to grow vegetables, further adding to its eco credentials. As for the price tag? Damen is keeping it firmly under wraps...

Blue Marlin and Custom 78: Cost unknown

Admiral Yachts, owned by The Italian Sea Group, is delivering two sensational superyachts this year, according to Boat International : the 256-foot (78m) Custom 78 a nd 253-foot (77m)  Blue Marlin (pictured).

Sleek and elegant, Blue Marlin's exterior and interior are both the handiwork of prestigious Dutch studio Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design.

The superyacht accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms and offers them a wealth of amenities, including a 19-foot (6m) swimming pool, a private spa, and a helipad. Its more sustainable credentials include a lower-emission diesel-electric propulsion system.

Precious little is known about Admiral's super-secretive Custom 78 project, as noted by Boat International .

It's known that the superyacht's exterior has been designed by Igor Lobanov, the Barcelona-based Russian nautical designer who's renowned for his futuristic, mega-streamlined creations. (An example of his work is shown here.)

Admiral has yet to disclose the price of either  Custom 78 or  Blue Marlin .

Project Toro: Cost unknown

Türkiye's Turquoise Yachts is getting ready to sign off the 259-foot (79m) Project Toro . It's actually running behind schedule and was supposed to be delivered last year.

With the exterior and interiors designed by British studio Harrison Eidsgaard – which is behind some of the world's most luxurious private jets, in addition to its portfolio of yachts – the end result will undoubtedly be a feast for the eyes.

Project Toro's neoclassical exterior is a real head-turner, while its interiors – which apparently include "a huge Neptune Lounge", to quote Super Yacht Times – have been described by the design team as "the definition of serenity and calm".

The fully customised beauty, which was sold in 2021 for an undisclosed sum, can comfortably fit 14 guests in its seven staterooms, as well as providing space for 21 crew members. Amenities onboard include a beauty salon, gym, and swimming pool.

Al Reem: Cost unknown

Formally known as  Silence , Al Reem is getting its finishing touches at the Bilgin shipyard in Türkiye's capital, Istanbul.

Spanning 263 feet (80m), the superyacht showcases Bilgin's signature style – think razor-sharp exterior lines and a super-slender profile – with naval architecture by Turkish studio Unique Yacht Design. It's the third unit of Bilgin's 263 Series and the most advanced of the trio.

Silent by name, silent by nature: the superyacht was sold to a mystery owner in 2022 and the selling price hasn't been revealed. But it won't have come cheap, that's for sure.

Dreamed up by London's H2 Yacht Design, the modern interiors of the boat whisper quiet luxury. The eight suites (including three VIP cabins) can collectively accommodate up to 12 guests, and there's space for 18 crew members. Al Reem's amenities are top-notch too, with the beach club, gym, and cinema just some of the standout features.

Project Vento: Cost unknown

Just weeks after Project Toro was sold in 2021, Turquoise Yachts found a buyer for Project Vento . As is the case with Project Toro , the identity of the owner and the price tag have not been divulged.

At 285 feet (87m) long, Project Vento is the largest superyacht ever built by Turquoise, with the company teaming up with long-time collaborator London's H2 Yacht Design to work on the boat's aesthetics. The result? A distinctive two-tone white and blue exterior with soft, flowing lines.

The interiors are just as eye-catching, with the superyacht boasting a wealth of features.

For the billionaire who has everything, there's a helipad that can also be used as an outdoor cinema and basketball court. But the pièce de résistance  has to be the incredible 21-foot (6.5m) glass-sided swimming pool on the lowest deck.

Project 1012: Cost unknown

With the venture cloaked in mystery, Feadship hasn't released any renders of Project 1012 and has yet to disclose information about the team behind it.

Based on images of the vessel undergoing trials in December 2022, Megayacht News has speculated that it could be traditional in design and may feature a beach club. However, these details won't be confirmed until the superyacht is delivered sometime this year – so watch this space...

Project 1012 is another Feadship superyacht that's slated for delivery in 2024.

The shipyard is being particularly secretive about the vessel, with details extremely sketchy. While we know that the superyacht is 300 feet (91.5m) long, further information about the vessel is next to non-existent.

Project JASSJ: Cost unknown

Spanning 338 feet (103m), Project JASSJ  is the third-largest of the show-stopping superyachts German shipbuilder Lürssen is delivering in 2024.

Sold in 2021 to an anonymous buyer for an undisclosed price, the superyacht features exterior and interior design by RWD Design. American firm Moran Yacht & Ship is overseeing the build.

Fantastically spacious, Project JASSJ can accommodate 22 guests in 11 staterooms.

Lürssen isn't holding back when it comes to amenities, promising an "industry-leading" beach club, as well as a swimming pool, deck Jacuzzi, top-end gym, and elevator, along with a state-of-the-art helipad and side-opening tender garage.

105 Explorer (NB-729): Cost unknown

Hot on the heels of delivering the 367-foot (112m) Renaissance (NB-724) , the largest ever yacht crafted in Spain (and shown here in all its glory), Freire's Galician shipyard is set to complete another whopper:  105 Explorer (NB-729) , which comes in at 344 feet (105m).

Renaissance  has been described by Burgess Yachts as a "temple of leisure" and "sanctum of tranquillity". But 105 Explorer (NB-729) is more about adventure than relaxation...

The superyacht may be kitted out with all the classic creature comforts but, as a roving expedition vessel, the emphasis is on performance rather than amenities.

Reflecting other high-end shipbuilders, Freire has chosen to keep the price of the superyacht a secret in the interest of client confidentiality.

Ace 21: Cost $150 million (£118m)

Ace 21 is one of four show-stopping superyachts that Germany's Lürssen is delivering this year.

Extending over 256 feet (78m) end to end, the glamorous vessel spans five decks – the superyachts we've covered so far have just four – and has been designed to provide five-star relaxation in the world's most idyllic locations. It can accommodate up to 14 guests and a crew of 24.

Lürssen, which has taken care of the naval architecture, has reportedly designed the superyacht so it can cruise closer to shorelines and dock alongside paradise-style beaches and coves.

Ace 21 is all about relaxation – and its designated wellness zone, complete with an extensive spa, beach club, and deck Jacuzzi, combine to make it the perfect place to kick back, millionaire style.

SuperYachtFan reports the vessel was ordered by an unnamed individual who's said to be a prominent figure in the yachting world. The site pegs Ace 21 's price tag at $150 million (£118m) and estimates annual running costs could stretch as high as $15 million (£12m).

Project 825: Cost $186 million (£146m)

On the other hand, the asking price for Feadship's Project 825  has been revealed.

Due for delivery later in the year, the 249-foot (76m) superyacht is currently available for $186 million (£146m) via Burgess Yachts.

Newly-built vessels of this size and calibre are usually custom orders, so it's rare for one to come on the market. The yacht is likely to be snapped up by a member of the super-rich elite who doesn't have the patience to wait years for a bespoke job .

The turnkey superyacht, which is getting its finishing touches at the Feadship Royal Van Lent shipyard in the Netherlands, has a slick two-tone exterior by Feadship's De Voogt Naval Architects. Its chic interiors are courtesy of Parisian design house Gilles & Boissier.

Project 825 has six staterooms with space for 12 guests, who'll have their every whim catered to by 17 crew members. Among its key selling points are an awesome glass-bottomed swimming pool and a private VIP terrace that boasts its own Jacuzzi.

There's also a sauna, deck gym, games room, and touch-and-go helipad, as well as an elevator. 

Project 712: Cost $200 million+ (£157m+)

Feadship is practically churning out superyachts at the moment, with multiple deliveries scheduled this year. Project 712 is among them.

The 272-foot (83m) vessel features an exterior design by Feadship's De Voogt Naval Architects. Unlike the aforementioned Project 825 , however, the interiors are the work of top Dutch firm Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, not French studio Gilles & Boissier.

Because Feadship is selling Project 825 , the price has been revealed – but Project 712 's cost is being kept firmly under wraps. Given its larger dimensions, it's likely to be even more expensive than its sister vessel.

The superyacht has space for up to 10 guests across its five cabins, according to YachtCharterFleet,  and comes equipped with a wealth of billionaire-worthy amenities, including a beach club, a gym, and a deck Jacuzzi.

Project 821: Cost $200 million+ (£157m+)

The biggest Feadship superyacht launching this year – not to mention the largest the Dutch company has ever built – is  Project 821 , which spans 390 feet (119m).

Feadship is being as secretive about this superyacht as it is with Project 1012 , with very few details known about it. 

The exterior design is characterised by soft lines, and there's a capacious beach club to the rear of the superyacht that leads down to a swimming platform... And that's all we know. 

Both the buyer and the price of  Project 821 are being kept hush-hush, though the superyacht is likely to have cost considerably more than the smaller Project 825 , which is on the market for $186 million (£146m).

Project Deep Blue: Cost $450 million (£354m)

The second-biggest of Lürssen's four superyachts expected to launch this year, Project Deep Blue may not be delivered to its owner until 2025, according to several expert forecasts.

Details about the project are scant. Even the final length of the superyacht is uncertain, but it's believed to measure at least 427 feet (130m).

No doubt the owner is delighted with the sophisticated exterior design, which bears similarities to Lürssen's Ahpo (now named Lady Jorgia).  

SuperYachtFan reports Project Deep Blue is expected to accommodate 24 guests and a crew of 45. It estimates the vessel would cost a staggering $450 million (£353m), with punishing yearly running costs of $45 million (£35m). The website has vaguely identified the owner as an Indian or Chinese billionaire.

Project Luminance: Cost $500 million (£392m)

The biggest of Lürssen's four show-stopping superyachts hitting the water in 2024, Project Luminance spans a whopping 475 feet (145m), making it almost as long as three Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The superyacht was originally slated for completion last year, but the delivery date has since been put back. A masterpiece of nautical design, Project Luminance wows thanks to its exterior by Monaco-based Espen Øino and equally elegant interiors by French studio Zuretti Interior Design.

Project Luminance is estimated to accommodate as many as 24 guests across 12 opulent staterooms. Amenities are fantastically lavish, with the vessel reportedly boasting two helipads and a massive swimming pool, which comes complete with an adjacent dip pool.

Reported to cost in excess of $500 million (£392m), Project Luminance was commissioned by Rinat Akhmetov, the richest person in Ukraine.

A report in The New York Times in 2022 suggested Akhmetov was considering selling the vessel in light of Russia's invasion of his home country. Still, it appears the billionaire might have decided to keep it for now. And who can blame him?

Somnio: Cost $600 million (£470m)

Putting this year's other launches firmly in the shade, Somnio spans a colossal 728 feet (222m), making it the largest superyacht ever built.

The world's first "yacht-liner", this $600 million (£470m) floating palace for the mega-rich is billed as "the most exclusive address in the world" and will cruise the planet's iconic yachting destinations, from Monaco to French Polynesia.

Somnio features 39 luxe private residences and a wealth of "six-star" amenities, including an enormous resort-style swimming pool, premium spa, opulent cinema, gourmet restaurants, 10,000-bottle wine cellar, and a library.

Nearing completion at Norway's Vard shipyard, the six-deck nautical extravaganza is a collaboration between Somnio, Fincantieri, and Vard, while Tillberg Design of Sweden and the UK's Winch Design have looked after the interior design.

The potential occupants of the 39 apartments are being carefully hand-picked. On offer are units with two to four bedrooms, with the option to fully customise them with the likes of a gym, personal kitchen, library, and more.

Those lucky enough to get a Somnio invite can expect to pay from $22 million (£17m) to secure a cabin in the elite vessel, with service charges likely to be sky-high too.
