Following six deliveries this year, Lürssen has announced that it has now built more than 30 units longer than 100m and is responsible for more than a third of the world’s yachts in this size range.
After the delivery of Odisea (78m), announced in March 2026, the German shipyard has since handed over five 100m-plus builds: Deep Blue (134m), Boardwalk (117m), Nausicaä (114m), O3 (109m) and Nixie (102m), which is set to make her global debut at the Monaco Yacht Show from September 23-26. Each yacht has departed northern Germany and begun cruising different parts of the world.

According to Lürssen, it takes around four years of disciplined craftsmanship and acute project management to orchestrate the hundreds of thousands of manufacturing hours required to bring each vessel to life.
Peter Lürssen, the shipyard’s Managing Director, said: “Delivering six yachts in a single year is a remarkable achievement, and the commitment of everyone involved deserves enormous credit. Our role is to create the environment, expertise and engineering capability to make ideas possible. Engineering is a balance of technical expertise and creativity – the diversity of this year’s deliveries demonstrates that perfectly.”

Each of the six yachts was developed around its respective owner’s vision. Nausicaä reveals futuristic styling by Australian industrial designer Marc Newson and includes a large glass Skydome, while the more traditional Boardwalk features a first for Lürssen: a sliding hatch and retractable stairwell on her main deck.
O3 is engineered for the extremes with an inventory to support expeditions and the lifestyle amenities to ensure comfort for extended periods. Nixie’s notable features include a cabana lounge with a 6m-wide pool, while its diesel-electric propulsion system is comparable to that on the 122m Kismet.

Michael Breman, Lürssen’s Senior Sales Director, stated: “Every conversation with a new or long-standing client always starts with a blank canvas. It is exciting. No two owners imagine the same future, and no two Lürssens should ever be alike. That is what keeps us looking forward. Every project is an opportunity to push the boundaries a little further.”
