In the yachting world, a large number of owners eagerly welcome their new yachts every year. These yachts, some of which are obscure, others are in the limelight. And those large-size yachts can attract countless eyeballs and become the object of major reports. That's why so many magazines and ** focus on the delivery and construction of those superyachts year after year.
As we shine our lights on the largest superyacht currently under construction, we get a glimpse inside the dock, starting with a unique expedition yacht project full of unknowns and mysteries, followed by four Lürssen superyachts that will become the new darlings of yachting with their craftsmanship and unrivalled design, luxury and performance.
The new length of the "rev ocean" is 194At 4 meters, it is still the largest yacht under construction in the world. The construction of this megayacht was briefly halted, but happily, in 2023 we got the news that Wald's factory in Norway resumed construction. The mission-based "Rev Ocean" will be a research vessel-superyacht hybrid designed to travel across the globe to conduct critical research and visit the farthest corners of the planet.
Luminance, a superyacht to be completed by Lürssen, is a project with a classic sloping bow and a towering superstructure. Her two-tone look in navy blue and silver is as striking as the ocean and sky intertwin. Not only that, but it is also equipped with two *** aprons and a large infinity pool, which is full of luxury and prestige.
The design of this yacht was created by Espen Ino, and it is also the 30th collaboration between the designer and the shipyard. Such a collaboration is not only a testament to the designer's exceptional talent, but also to the shipyard's meticulous attention to detail. As for the interior design, it has been carefully designed by the Francois Zurtetti studio, and although the details have not yet been revealed, it will undoubtedly bring the ultimate comfort and enjoyment to visitors.
In April of this year, the "Luminance" project was last seen at sea trials, and her grace and strength were vividly displayed in the sea breeze. As a high-profile superyacht, the "Luminance" project will undoubtedly continue to lead the trend in the yachting world and become a beautiful sight in the ocean.
Another ambitious project of Lürssen, the "Ali Baba" project, was successfully undocked in two phases in May 2022. However, before the official launch in December 2023, the yacht had no choice but to advance **. At that time, a technical malfunction occurred at the dry dock door of the shipyard's Bremen facility, forcing the nose of the yacht to hit the hatch. With the exception of the first one, which reveals a grey silhouette with an elongated bow and rugged exterior lines, as well as two tarmacs, the rest of the details have been kept secret.
While no official specifications have been released for Leshun, it is speculated that the "Deep Blue" project will be around 130m in size. At some point in July, the half-finished hull left the shipyard's facilities in Lemwerder, heralding her transfer to the Lürssen plant in Bremen to continue her journey of birth. It is expected that the bow section will be carefully installed before the delivery date, and the entire project will be successfully completed in 2025 as planned.
JAG was commissioned by an old client as a replacement for his 96-metre superyacht, the owner's third Lürssen yacht.

The capacity of this superyacht is staggering, accommodating 20 distinguished guests in 11 cabins. The crew cabin can accommodate up to 40 crew members, and each guest can enjoy the attentive service of two crew members. In August 2023, the megayacht made its debut in a completely null state, demonstrating its majesty and power to the world.
Since its launch, it has been in the limelight. And it was last seen in October 2023, when it was heading out into the ocean along the Kiel Canal in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. From the name of the ship, it is known that the newly completed superyacht belongs to Shahid Khan, a billionaire of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham Football Club.
