The Largest Superyachts Set to Launch in 2024

SOMNIO - 222m 

SOMNIO is set to be the world’s largest yacht with a LOA of 222m. Shipbuilding giant VARD is undertaking this mammoth build, working closely with Winch Design and Tillberg Design of Sweden who are responsible for her design. She will be the world's first 'yacht-liner', offering a number of exclusive, and highly customisable, residences onboard for purchase.

SOMNIO translates to ‘Dream’ in Latin, which is no surprise as this 222m vessel is certainly something of a dream-like quality. Referred to as ‘the most exclusive address in the world’, she is set to offer her owners and guests an intimate community at sea, exuding effortless style and comfort onboard. She will be equipped with all of the services that one would find in a six-star resort; for example, her aft deck will be the main hub, featuring a lavish beach club, two spas and sumptuous outdoor lounges. 

SOMNIO embodies the new era of yacht life, and her launch is set to be a ground-breaking moment for the superyacht industry. 

Project Deep Blue - 130m+ 

Following her technical launch which took place in July 2023, Lürssen’s Project Deep Blue is set to officially launch this year. She is estimated to have a LOA of over 130m, with all aspects of her build and design being kept tightly under wraps.

It is speculated that she has an interior volume of around 9,000 GT and she is set to be the 14th largest yacht built by the German yard, taking her place between 135m CRESCENT and 126.2m OCTOPUS. She will take the rank of 26 in the Superyachts.com Top 100 largest yachts in the world following her official launch. 

Project 821 - 118.8m

In April 2022, Feadship revealed the hull of 118.8m Project 821: the largest yacht ever built by the Dutch yard. Her construction is highly secretive, with little known about the project, although the initial renderings show her to have a voluminous exterior and a sleek, curvaceous profile. 

Project 821 will prove a highly exciting event for Feadship as she will become the shipyard’s flagship vessel, surpassing 110m ANNA, launched in 2018, and 118m Project 1010. She will rank 37 in the Top 100. 

Freire Explorer (NB-729) - 105m 

Following the successful launch of 112m RENAISSANCE last year, Freire Shipyard is currently building NB-729: a 105m motor yacht and the third Top 100 superyacht built by the Spanish shipyard. 

Her build is highly secretive, with no information revealed as of yet, although we can expect her to follow in the footsteps of her 112m sistership as a vessel exuding unparalleled luxury and comfort. RENAISSANCE can accommodate 36 guests with an entire deck dedicated to fitness, wellness and pampering, these features setting the precedent for another exceptional build by the Spanish yard. NB-729 will rank 68 in the Superyachts.com Top 100 list. 

Project JASSJ - 103m 

Technically launched in December 2023, Lürssen’s 103m Project JASSJ is due to be officially launched this year. She features a steel hull, aluminium superstructure, powerful profile and several spacious decks. Her exteriors and interiors are penned by RWD and is able to accommodate 20 guests across ten cabins, speculated to harbour numerous expansive social spaces. 

Moran Yacht & Ship are the project managers of this build, which is expected to boast a traditional Lürssen bow shape, a tender garage, a beach club and an aft swimming pool. Project JASSJ will take the 73rd spot in the Top 100 world's largest yachts this year.
