| Lurssen | 145M | "LUMiNANCE" ex . Project 'Luminance' | 2023) |

"LUMiNANCE" departure from Lurssen.

"LUMiNANCE" from another view when heading out from Germany plus hearing how her horn set sounds.

Currently in Trieste. Local media said that it is in wait for Fincaintieri facilities. First fixes after longer voyage on the way.

I’m surprised. This is very early for a yacht that’s suppose to be brand new.

I heard its in for some adjustments to things the client wanted changed.

I made a fly-over the other day, but the weather in Trieste in last week had quite a bad low clouds, which made videos dark and foggy. Will try to upload a thing or two anyways. Noting big was happening onthere on that day at least.

Last week we were just a bit too late for the heli operations. Headphone users, beware of bad wind noises!
Unfortunately no drone footage this time because of the obvious reasons.

last day gibraltar

That crossing for "Launchpad" was quick...last I checked she was in Panama.

Heading back to Italy after a quick stop in Gibraltar.

Hey people, i'm new here so i would like to apologize beforehand for my bad english or if i'm breaking any rules.
But let me ask, for a yacht this size, isn't it lacking some funcionalities like more tender spaces/heli hangars? Does it have any shadow vessel?? I know yachts like these are built to meet owner demands, but it seems like it could fit so much more instead of just 2 doors on the bow.
I'm still waiting for someone to build a yacht that has all the capabilites of the original Ulysses duo, while looking like as beautiful as this yacht (if it is ever possible to do so.)

Welcome Gugallo. Your English is perfect! No worries.

It seems to me that the brief for Luminance was more centered around 'hot-spot Mediterranean cruising' - as evidenced by her first season in Sardinia and Croatia so far - rather than being designed as an explorer yacht like the ones you're comparing her to. From her design I would say, it’s clear that the owner prioritized maximizing volume and views, with large windows and relatively high ceilings throughout. Luminance boasts a sizable pool aft, multiple jacuzzis (even on the side decks), and abundant outdoor seating, particularly in the forward areas. The extensive use of large windows in the aft hull suggests a massive beach club as well.

The choice to forgo a heli-hangar likely favored the inclusion of the additional bridge deck, while moving the tender garage to the bow would have further expanded the beach club space. Despite the change, Luminance likely still accommodates 3-4 large tenders in the bow, given her size. Additionally, it seems from pictures that the lifeboats are finished as limo tenders, similar to Nord. The two helipads—one with a 15D value and 30-ton capacity forward, and the other with an 18D value and 10-ton capacity aft—are also quite substantial.

Overall, I would compare Luminance’s features to those of Scheherazade, Crescent, and Flying Fox etc.

Thank you!

Oh, i actually thought about Nord when writing my original post. I knew about the windy tenders, which amazed me when i found out, because even at 140+m, most tenders seen to be in the 9-13m range, and she has two 50 footers to play. Now the rest of the list is quite a surprise, i imagined it had more "toys", but you actually giving me a description of everything it carries was very nice haha.
Now about Octopus... i really forgot about her (shame!). She's truly one of a kind. I don't think we'll ever see a build that is as much of a breakthrough as her when she launched. If it's hard to see new yachts with comparable capacities, just imagine how big of a achievement it was 20 years ago!
Thanks for the reply.

Those are some very good points. I'm new to the yachting world (in fact, it's not even a part of my career or daily life, just a hobby haha), so your reply has given me a new perspective as to why it was built the way it is. Although Crescent has a heli hangar, i see that you comparison is very on point. I'll stick around the forum to learn more

On another note, we are still waiting to see how her tenders look like right? I searched everywhere but still coundn't find anything. What are everyone guesses? A duo of custom tenders, 1 open and 1 limo? Anything else?
