A new 130-metre superyacht is currently under construction at Lürssen shipyard, in Germany, as her hull has been pictured on the water while moving between sheds. The yacht’s scale can be guessed thanks to the recently launched 123-metre project Jupiter, which is visible in the background.
The new superyacht, composed of five decks above the waterline, was first pictured at an earlier stage of construction in July 2016 before the bow and stern sections were joined. Now, she is clearly nearing completion: delivery could be scheduled in 2018 already, depending on the interior fit-out timing.
The German yard’s order book includes plenty of upcoming superyachts measuring more than 100 metres in length, but this new yacht, in particular, hasn’t been officially unveiled yet and Lürssen has released almost no information on this project.
Other megayacht projects currently underway at Lürssen include a 146-metre superyacht and the 135-metre Project Thunder, which features a notably different superstructure and was pictured last year at a more advanced state of construction than the hull above.
The 139-metre Nuvolari-Lenard designed superyacht Project Redwood is a possible candidate for the identity of this mystery yacht, but restrictive confidentiality agreements mean that Lürssen will not comment on any in-build projects.
