Lürssen has delivered the 78.2m motoryacht Odisea to her new owner, with the yacht spotted in London days after leaving Germany on her maiden voyage. Designed inside and out by RWD, and built under the project name Ace 21, the superyacht represents the first collaboration between the German shipyard and the British design studio.

Peter Lürssen, Lürssen’s CEO, stated: “Every yacht we build asks something new of us. Working with RWD on Odisea allowed us to push new boundaries in both engineering and arrangement. The result is a yacht designed entirely around modern life at sea. She is a proud addition to our fleet.”

RWD commented: “The collaboration between RWD and Lürssen has been driven by mutual respect, the client’s vision and a shared ambition for excellence. The result is a yacht that speaks to quiet confidence, considered design and truly elegant liveability.”

According to Lürssen, the exterior profile of Odisea is characterised by “a vertical bow and purposeful lines”, combined with “expansive glazing” that “dissolves traditional architectural boundaries”.

The shipyard revealed that the interiors of the 2,397GT yacht feature natural tones, soft woods and pale marble for an “understated yet warm” palette, with curated artworks adding finishing touches.

Odisea’s design stands out for its flexible spaces. The sundeck includes a jacuzzi, drinks bar, fire pit and dining area for up to 20 guests, and can transform from an open-air entertaining space to an enclosed skylounge. On the main deck, the glass-encased ‘Beach House’ space is also openable on three sides.

Described by the yard as designed for “family-oriented living”, Odisea features a sports court adaptable for basketball, pickleball, yoga or pilates. There are also two outdoor cinemas, a teak-lined swimming pool and a watersports area equipped for activities such as diving and fishing.

Following Lürssen’s modern design protocols, Odisea has been fitted with a compact exhaust with a patented SCR system to significantly reduce NOx emissions while underway.

Lürssen is currently working on a second collaboration with RWD – the 102.4m Project Jassj – which is also due for delivery later this year.
