Lurssen On The Cusp Of Launching 100+Meter Project 'Mistral'
In two days, German custom superyacht manufacturer Lurssen will launch yet another superyacht. Although the length is not confirmed by Lurssen, they say it is 100+ meters long but we believe it is in the region of 106-meters. They also confirm when the new superyacht is going to launch, Saturday April 16th! Details surrounding the build are tight-lipped as usual but it appears to be an exciting design by Espen Oeino. There is a prominent design line integrated into the hull similar to what Tim Heywood does on many of his designs... the major difference is this 'Espen line' doesn't swoop-down to the anchor pocket to copy blatantly. She will launch from the floating dock 31 months after her keel was laid in 2013. Project Mistral will be delivered later in the year and will be the second yacht Lürssen will deliver in 2016...

Admiral Yachts Launch 50-meter "Ouranos"

The superyacht has a very dominant feature that sets her apart of pretty much any other 50-meter yacht in existence...
Second MCY105 "Serendipity" Launches By Monte Carlo Yachts
Monte Carlo Yachts launched the second hull in the MCY105 series earlier this year and now the yacht has completed sea trials satisfactorily. Delivery to her owner should be very soon. It's easy to distinguish the second hull, named "Serendipity", from the first hull in the series ("G"). Although they appear pretty similar design wise on the exterior, the paintwork sets the two apart easily. Serendipity has a rather light and soft blue hull with a cool white superstructure and this contrasts with the much darker grey and black colour selection on the first hull...
Heesen Launches 70-meter "Galactica Super Nova" Superyacht
After a star-studded and fancy christening ceremony and final preparations, the 70-meter "Galactica Super Nova" (formerly Project 'Kometa') finally came from her build shed to taste fresh air for the first time since her mostly finished-state. Now that she is out and has her mast installed we are wondering if the installation is temporary...
Lurssen Yachts 312' "Kismet II" Superyacht
Redefining Destiny
Redefining Destiny
Lurssen Yachts recently celebrated 140 years of producing exceptional custom yachts at seven yards in northern Germany. It takes state-of-the-art facilities and a highly skilled workforce of 1800 to produce such award winning beauties as Limitless, Peloris, Rising Sun, Ice, and Dilbar. Lurssen’s latest launches are Orchid, Omar, and Dilbar III. Yet Kismet is “the cat’s meow.” While not the largest yacht built by Lurssen, Kismet ranks #40 in the world's largest yachts and holds the record for the largest yacht to dock at Bahia Mar. During her return visit to South Florida, coinciding with the recent Miami Boat Show, Kismet’s quayside location dwarfed many of the downtown Miami buildings...
New 55-meter Admiral Superyacht "Quinta Essentia" Launched
Italian brand Admiral Yachts recently launched a significantly sized motoryacht. "Quinta Essentia" is her name and for those who follow yachts very closely; this name will ring a bell.

85-meter Sailing Yacht "Aquijo" Delivered By Vitters ; OceAnco
It was an unlikely collaboration with a sailing yacht company coming together with a motoryacht manufacturer to build and finish a beast of a sailing yacht. Her name is "Aquijo" and many would have known her under her previous name and build numbers like Project 85, or hull 3069 (Vitters) or Y711 (OceAnco). As for her exterior design that work came by Tripp Design and Naval Architecture while the interior was done by Dolker + Voges. The owner wanted a combination that is rarely found on a sailing yacht - extensive space, comfort and luxury while surrounded by state-of-the-art technology both inside and out-...

Sarp Yachts in Turkey not only recently launched their first yacht of the new year but their first major production luxury yacht. She is a 46-meter luxury motor yacht simply called the Sarp 46.

SanLorenzo Launches Second 460EXP, "X"
The second unit in the SanLorenzo 42-meter 460EXP line has been launched and is called "X". Just to clarify, 460EXP does not suggest the yacht is 46-meters long, it is actually 42.2-meters in her overall length. It is the same scenario for her debut hull sister called "Moka". The line is actually around 460 GT which is where the 460EXP term is derived. Although X is similar in design she is painted differently making it fairly easy to recognize her should they both turn up at the same marina...
