Lurssen Launches 90m Project 1601

By George Bains

German shipyard Lurssen Yachts rounded off a major week of activity with the launch of 90-metre displacement superyacht, Project 1601.

The launch of Project 1601 in Rendsburg followed soon after the emergence of 145m Luminance from the builder’s Bremen facility.

The construction of Project 1601, much like Luminance, has been kept very secretive since it began in 2018. Emerging from the shipyard, the superyacht revealed its unique exterior profile, featuring prominent lines and a striking reverse bow design.

Renowned Monaco-based design firm, Espen Oeino International, is responsible for this exterior design, working alongside the in-house team at Lurssen who oversaw the naval architecture. Dölker & Voges Design of Hamburg lent their expertise to craft the interior spaces, which are yet to be publically revealed.

Project 1601 is due to be delivered to her Owner this spring, and will now complete her sea trials over the next months. With such a flurry of major activity from Lurssen this week, we look forward to following both Project 1601 and Luminance as they near their respective delivery dates.
