100+meter Superyacht Project 'Jupiter' Launches At Lurssen
Custom German superyacht builder Lurssen launched their latest superyacht this morning. In their usual modus operandi, there is hardly any information on this build due to confidentiality clauses. We do know that the design appears to be by H2 Yacht Design featuring many design elements found on other H2 designs like Fincantieri's Project Mars.
