145m LUMINANCE - Lürssen

The first yacht (by length) due to be delivered to her owner this year is the jaw-dropping 145m LUMINANCE. Launched in early 2023, LUMINANCE has been a highly anticipated vessel: marking Lürssen’s 8th largest build since its inception and the 12th largest yacht in the world.

After a two-year hiatus, LUMINANCE was unveiled to the industry in February 2023, and has since undertaken two sea trials, one in July and one later in September of the same year.

The specifications and details of the 145m vessel, as with most Top 100 builds, have continued to remain sparse throughout her construction, but with a stunning navy and gold exterior from renowned designer Espen Øino, we can only expect equally of a marvel inside.

140m+ Project ALI BABA - Lürssen

Unintentionally launched by Lürssen at the end of December last year due to a technical fault at her dock, the staggering 140m+ Project ALI BABA is also expected to be delivered to her owner this year.

Revealed to the industry with an almost complete exterior revealing a strong, yet low, grey profile and elongated sweeping bow, the mammoth German yacht has since been moved to Lürssen’s Hamburg facilities for completion. ALI BABA was first seen in May 2022 during transport in sections from her construction shed.

Following her forthcoming completion and official launch, ALI BABA will undertake the rigorous Lürssen sea trials before her expected delivery later this year.

Her official length, alongside her designer and other specifications, remains unknown.

122m JAG - Lürssen

August 2023 welcomed the launch of yet another Lürssen superyacht. The stunning 122m JAG hit the water for the first time last year, previously only spotted in 2021 when her separate hull and superstructure were revealed. She was sold in 2019 at the Monaco Yacht Show, as one of seven construction projects inbuild with Moran Yacht & Ship.

JAG’s beautiful exteriors of a dark hull, white superstructure and an unmissable long stretching bow are thanks to Nuvolari Lenard, and Reymond Langton has penned her secretive interiors. She can accommodate up to 20 guests across 11 staterooms, cared for by a crew of 40, and her beam of 17.8m is said to harbour the most exceptional space onboard for the utmost comfort.

At the Fort Lauderdale Int. Boat Show in October last year, Lürssen announced that JAG was undertaking sea trials, and she was soon spotted leaving the safety of the German rivers heading out to the North Sea. It is expected that she will be delivered to her owner in the coming months.

118m Project 1010 - Feadship

Feadship launched its largest superyacht to date, the 118m Project 1010, in August 2022, shaking the industry with yet another remarkable Top 100 build.

With distinctive dark blue exteriors from Espen Øino, naval architecture by De Voogt Naval Architects and interiors from Zuretti Interior Design, Feadship’s flagship vessel certainly has a worthy title in the yard’s fleet.

Project 1010 was last seen in October 2022 on her first series of sea trials in the North Sea, and there has since been little news about her delivery, as the industry eagerly awaits more details from the Dutch yard.

107m SHACKLETON ex. Project Icecap - Lürssen

Lürssen’s monumental explorer yacht SHACKLETON, more commonly known by her previous codename of Project Icecap, is due to be delivered to her owner this year. Aptly named after the great Irish explorer Earnest Shackleton, this 107m vessel appears to be an extremely capable adventure yacht, adorned with a unique axe-style, ice-class steel bow.

She was sold in 2018 to her owner by Moran Yacht & Ship, with exteriors designed by Salt Ship Design, which were first revealed to the industry in 2022 at the time of her launch. Whilst details remain relatively sparse, the broker has revealed that she can accommodate 20 guests across 10 cabins, with a 17.5m beam, a 4.5m draft and a gross tonnage of 5885.

103m ULYSSES - Feadship

Another remarkable Feadship build due for delivery this year is the 103m ULYSSES (ex Project 1011). Launched and beginning sea trials in October last year, ULYSSES is a magnificent yacht from the Dutch yard, designed inside and out by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. Her naval architecture was completed by Azure Yacht Design, who began with a challenging brief that demanded the amenities and space of a 6,000GT yacht but in a design of half the volume.

According to Feadship, the 103m has been built for a highly experienced, repeat Feadship owner who was closely involved in the build from the start.

Notable features include the 6m glass expanses in the main deck guest suites, a 15m long tender garage door, four outdoor hot tubs and one swimming pool the full height of the main deck.
