145m Lürssen superyacht LUMINANCE spotted on sea trials

• Share this on Facebook

By Editorial Team   20 April 2023

Lürssen’s highly secretive 145m (475ft) megayacht LUMINANCE  has been spotted undertaking her all-important sea trials near to her build shipyard in Germany.

Although we have scant information about Lurssen ’s latest superyacht, these pictures reveal two helipads, one on her bow and one on her bridge deck aft, as well as a slew of alfresco relaxation and entertainment areas, culminating in a vast swimming pool and adjacent dip pool on her main deck aft.

This leads to a wide swim platform with what appears to be an intimate circular seating area, which will undoubtedly offer beautiful waterside views for her on board guests. 

Set to rank as the 15th largest yacht in the world upon completion, the 9,400 GT motor yacht showcases sleek lines with an elongated bow and cascading aft deck, with a rich midnight blue hull, blonde teak decking and plenty of glazing to enhance the natural light throughout her interior spaces.

Her distinctive exterior styling is from the boards of world-class designer Espen Øino, marking the 30th collaboration between the designer and the shipyard, meanwhile the renowned Italian studio Zuretti is responsible for her interior design.

She will be delivered to her owners at some point in the near future, but at this stage is not expected to be made available for charter.

In order to make enquiries regarding a charter with a Lürssen superyacht, please get in touch with your preferred charter broker . Alternatively, view all superyachts available for charter .

Lürssen unveils Project Luminance: here are the first photos

Yesterday, Lürssen finally unveiled the first (beautiful) pictures of “Project Luminance”, a majestic superyacht whose actual length is however still top-secret.

The shipyard, in fact, continues to keep details tightly under wraps, entrenching itself behind the sybilline definition “a 130 m plus yacht”. Rumours, however, suggest that Project Luminance is expected to be 145 meters long and around 20 meters wide.

Construction on this masterpiece of naval engineering began in 2018 at Lürssen ‘s facility in Bremen , Germany. The patient work of two local photographers makes it possible for us to fortunately admire some of the stages in the construction of this huge superyacht , such as the transport of the two sections to the dry dock.

The Largest Superyachts Set to Launch in 2023

By Emily Dawkins

2022 witnessed some of the largest and most spectacular superyachts hit the water from leading shipyards all around the world. With several mammoth yachts moving through their build process in 2022, we look ahead to 2023 to see which exciting vessels will be launched this coming year.

1. 145m  Project Luminance

145m Project Luminance, built by one of the masters of yacht building, Lurssen Yachts, is set to launch in 2023. Very little is known about this Top 10 superyacht aside from her sheer size and somewhat classic structure. Expected to launch last year, the 145m vessel is rumoured to now be near completion, soon to be seen gracing the worlds seas. 

2.122m Project Jag

Standing at an impressive 122m, Project Jag is another Lurssen superyacht due to officially launch this year. Built for a repeat client, Project Jag is the second largest superyacht expected to hit the water in 2023, penned by recognised designer, Nuvolari Lenard.

3. 112m  NB 724

The third mammoth superyacht expected to hit the water in 2023 is the mysterious project NB-724. Currently under construction with Vigo-based Freire shipyard, little is known about the monumental build aside from rumours that her design is from Bannenberg & Rowell Design. Her impressive size will result in her earning the title of the largest superyacht to date to be constructed in Spain.

4. 107m Project Icecap

First revealed to the industry last summer, Lurssen's 107m Project Icecap is set to launch in 2023, already appearing to be an extremely capable explorer vessel. Featuring an axe-style bow and grand superstructure which sit forward, Project Icecap's profile is completely unique. Believed to be diesel-electric and equipped with an ice-class hull, the 107m vessel will be a significant addition to the German shipyard's fleet for 2023.

Aside from these monumental launches, 2023 is set to be a busy year for the superyacht industry, with several other iconic builds due for completion. Nobiskrug’s 77m BLACK SHARK, Feadship’s 67m Feadship 823, as well as another Lurssen build, 90m Project 1601, are also amongst those set to launch this year.
