In September 2018 Lurssen announced it had signed a contract to build a 54m yacht. 12 months later, the project had evolved to 55,5 metres as the world glimpsed Project 13800 for the first time.
The initial concept was influenced by Bannenberg & Rowell studies based on the classic yacht Carinthia VI, designed by Bannenberg the Elder, and built by Lürssen in 1973. Through several design iterations, the design evolved to the point where Project 13800 displays her own strong identity whilst boasting the very real heritage of a Lürssen/ Bannenberg predecessor.
A fearless use of colours and textures as well as museum quality interior furniture pieces underline the approach of tremendous attention to detail – not only in the interior spaces but also in the technical areas. A truly bespoke engineered yacht at 55 metres.
