Luxury Superyacht Luminance Docks in Gruž Port: A Floating Beauty Worth €500 Million

The luxury superyacht Luminance made a grand appearance in Dubrovnik today. Valued at a staggering €500 million, this floating marvel has just hit the waters this year and is already making waves.

At just under 140 meters long, Luminance is a true behemoth, crafted by the renowned German shipbuilders at Lürssen Yachts. It’s currently ranked 21st on the global list of the largest yachts. The owner of Luminance, according to the New York Times, is the Ukrainian billionaire Rinat Akhmetov. He is the founder of investment holding company System Capital Management.

The Luminance isn’t just about size—it’s about luxury. It boasts accommodation for up to 40 guests, ensuring plenty of space for relaxation and entertainment. Onboard, guests can indulge in a spa treatment, visit the cosmetic salon, or enjoy the exclusive beach club. Other high-end features include underwater lighting, a state-of-the-art gym, a jacuzzi on the deck, and all the modern conveniences like WiFi and air conditioning.

134m Lürssen superyacht Luminance delivered

The 138.8-metre Lürssen superyacht  Luminance has been delivered. She was last spotted leaving the yard for her sea trials in April 2023.

Construction on the mammoth project began in 2018 but few details have been revealed since. She is ranked number 11 in the largest yachts in the world and is the seventh-largest project ever built by Lürssen.

Exterior design is the work of Espen Øino and marks the 30th collaboration between the designer and the shipyard. The pair have worked on numerous 100-metre-plus projects including the 136-metre Flying Fox , 156-metre Dilbar and 135.5-metre Crescent . The interior design is the work of Francois Zuretti but details remain a closely guarded secret.

Other major projects currently underway at Lürssen include the 122-metre Project Jag , last seen on sea trials in October 2023 and the 142-metre Project Alibaba , which was launched in December 2023 .

The bare hull of Project Jassj was also recently sighted during her technical launch at Lürssen's Rendsburg facility.

Ukraine’s richest man is all set to take delivery of his ultra-luxurious $500 million megayacht. As long as three Olympic-sized swimming pools, the secretive ‘Project Luminance’ is spread across four decks, has two helipads, a large swimming pool and beach club.

What can one expect from the Luminance Yacht? One look at the Luminance yacht during its final sea trials reminds you of other great ships sailing out of the Lürssen stable, designed by Espen Oeino, like Nord , Flying Fox , and Dilbar. Longer than the 464-foot megayacht Nord , it is safe to presume that the latest megayacht will fall in the $500 million plus bracket. The video revealed a gigantic multi-deck boat with teak decks, a steel hull, and an aluminum superstructure.

The Largest Top 100 Superyachts Due for Delivery in 2024

By Emily Dawkins

Following a barrage of magnificent Top 100 superyacht launches last year, 2024 is expected to welcome several exciting new deliveries to the yachting industry. We take a look at some of the largest superyachts expected to be completed and delivered to their owners this year.

145m LUMINANCE -  Lürssen

The first yacht (by length) due to be delivered to her owner this year is the jaw-dropping 145m LUMINANCE. Launched in early 2023, LUMINANCE has been a highly anticipated vessel: marking Lürssen’s 8th largest build since its inception and the 12th largest yacht in the world. 

After a two-year hiatus, LUMINANCE was unveiled to the industry in February 2023, and has since undertaken two sea trials, one in July and one later in September of the same year. 

The specifications and details of the 145m vessel, as with most Top 100 builds, have continued to remain sparse throughout her construction, but with a stunning navy and gold exterior from renowned designer Espen Øino, we can only expect equally of a marvel inside. 

140m+ Project ALI BABA  - Lürssen

Unintentionally launched by Lürssen at the end of December last year due to a technical fault at her dock, the staggering 140m+ Project ALI BABA is also expected to be delivered to her owner this year. 

Revealed to the industry with an almost complete exterior revealing a strong, yet low, grey profile and elongated sweeping bow, the mammoth German yacht has since been moved to Lürssen’s Hamburg facilities for completion. ALI BABA was first seen in May 2022 during transport in sections from her construction shed. 

Following her forthcoming completion and official launch, ALI BABA will undertake the rigorous Lürssen sea trials before her expected delivery later this year. 

Her official length, alongside her designer and other specifications, remains unknown. 

122m JAG -  Lürssen

August 2023 welcomed the launch of yet another Lürssen superyacht. The stunning 122m JAG hit the water for the first time last year, previously only spotted in 2021 when her separate hull and superstructure were revealed. She was sold in 2019 at the Monaco Yacht Show, as one of seven construction projects inbuild with Moran Yacht & Ship.

JAG’s beautiful exteriors of a dark hull, white superstructure and an unmissable long stretching bow are thanks to Nuvolari Lenard, and Reymond Langton has penned her secretive interiors. She can accommodate up to 20 guests across 11 staterooms, cared for by a crew of 40, and her beam of 17.8m is said to harbour the most exceptional space onboard for the utmost comfort.

At the Fort Lauderdale Int. Boat Show in October last year, Lürssen announced that JAG was undertaking sea trials, and she was soon spotted leaving the safety of the German rivers heading out to the North Sea. It is expected that she will be delivered to her owner in the coming months. 

118m Project 1010  - Feadship  

Feadship launched its largest superyacht to date, the 118m Project 1010, in August 2022, shaking the industry with yet another remarkable Top 100 build. 

With distinctive dark blue exteriors from Espen Øino, naval architecture by De Voogt Naval Architects and interiors from Zuretti Interior Design, Feadship’s flagship vessel certainly has a worthy title in the yard’s fleet. 

Project 1010 was last seen in October 2022 on her first series of sea trials in the North Sea, and there has since been little news about her delivery, as the industry eagerly awaits more details from the Dutch yard.  

107m SHACKLETON ex. Project Icecap  - Lürssen 

Lürssen’s monumental explorer yacht SHACKLETON, more commonly known by her previous codename of Project Icecap, is due to be delivered to her owner this year. Aptly named after the great Irish explorer Earnest Shackleton, this 107m vessel appears to be an extremely capable adventure yacht, adorned with a unique axe-style, ice-class steel bow.

She was sold in 2018 to her owner by Moran Yacht & Ship, with exteriors designed by Salt Ship Design, which were first revealed to the industry in 2022 at the time of her launch. Whilst details remain relatively sparse, the broker has revealed that she can accommodate 20 guests across 10 cabins, with a 17.5m beam, a 4.5m draft and a gross tonnage of 5885. 

103m ULYSSES  - Feadship 

Another remarkable Feadship build due for delivery this year is the 103m ULYSSES (ex Project 1011). Launched and beginning sea trials in October last year, ULYSSES is a magnificent yacht from the Dutch yard, designed inside and out by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. Her naval architecture was completed by Azure Yacht Design, who began with a challenging brief that demanded the amenities and space of a 6,000GT yacht but in a design of half the volume. 

According to Feadship, the 103m has been built for a highly experienced, repeat Feadship owner who was closely involved in the build from the start. 

Notable features include the 6m glass expanses in the main deck guest suites, a 15m long tender garage door, four outdoor hot tubs and one swimming pool the full height of the main deck.

Superyacht insider sneak peek: 5 of the largest superyachts at the 2024 monaco yacht show.

The 400-foot-long Kismet embarks on her maiden voyage in the Med

When it comes to exclusive enclaves, it’s pretty hard to compete with Monaco. The world’s elite flock to the tiny principality on the French Rivera for its sunny weather, sophisticated hotels and casinos, spectacular shopping and other financial reasons. They love to drive their fast cars down the famous roads leading into the city, and they love the speed and power of the legendary Monaco Grand Prix, too.

Monaco Yacht Show 20224

But as for the absolute pinnacle of luxury, it doesn’t get much better than owning a superyacht. And for the select few who happen to be shopping for a superyacht, there’s one place to see nearly all of the best, and biggest, and most technologically advanced yachts that money can buy (in addition to the tenders, and limousines, and private submarines, and luxury cars that go along with a superyacht) in one place: The Monaco Yacht Show , which starts next week.

Renaissance is massive

During the show, the docks of Monaco’s famous port are always filled with numerous yachts longer than 250 feet. But this year, the largest superyacht in the show is 400 feet long! And lots of superyachts in the 300-foot-long range will be there, too.

Apple’s Update Decision—Bad News Confirmed For Millions Of iPhone Users

Hackers force chrome users to hand over google passwords. here’s how, today’s eclipse of the full moon sets up a ‘ring of fire’ — what to know.

So, if you are lucky enough to be in Monaco later this month, I’ll see you there. But if you not, here’s a sneak peek at the five largest yachts that will be on display.

Kismet underway

What can I say about the 400-foot-long Kismet (which was built by Lürssen , features an exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and an interior design by Reymond Langton Design and is available for charter with Cecil Wright ) that can help you understand just how big a 400-foot-long superyacht is? How about, since it measures 40 feet longer than an American football field (including the end zones), it’s safe to say that Kismet would only just barely fit inside the Jacksonville Jaguars EverBank Stadium. And that’s only if it could somehow be lowered from the top with a crane!

Kismet departs Lurssen shipyard in Germany

But since these photos and that explanation can’t really convey just how big Shaid Kahn ’s (the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars) new 400-foot-long superyacht is...The only way you’ll really be able to understand just how big the Jacksonville Jaguars owner’s new yacht is to see it for yourself in Monaco next week. It’s going to be largest yacht at the show and has raised the bar on what’s possible when it comes to designing, building, owning and chartering the largest yachts in the world.

The interior for the 400-foot-long Kismet that charters for $3 million per week

And since Kismet has already spent her first season in the Mediterranean and is available for charter through Cecil Wright (instead of being hidden away for a private owner like many yachts in this size range are), you, too, could experience what it’s like to live the superyacht life aboard one of the largest and most opulent vessels in the world.

The interior for the 400-foot-long Kismet that charters for $3 million per week is massive

So, if you looking for a charter yacht that costs roughly $3 million per week, the Monaco Yacht Show will be the place where you can see just how opulent Kismet (and theses other superyachts too) for yourself.

‘Renaissance’

The Bannenberg & Rowell-designed Renaissance that can accommodate 36 guests in 16 cabins is unlike ... [+] most other superyachts that are available to charter

The 367-foot-long, 7,200-gross ton, Bannenberg & Rowell -designed Renaissance is um, a “really big superyacht.” But what intrigues me the most is that unlike most superyachts that can only accommodate 12 guests per charter, Renaissance has been designed to swaddle 36 guests in superyacht luxury.

Renaissance underway

As you’d imagine, this yacht has it all. Open-air dining on five decks and a dining room with 18-foot-tall ceilings on the main deck. A sushi bar. A pizza oven by the huge pool. And of course, the requisite DJ stations when it’s time to party. There’s also a massive cinema that has seating 19 guests on lower deck—the perfect place to just Netflix-n-chill.

The 18-foot ceilings aboard RENAISSANCE BANNENBERG + ROWELL DESIGN

And, oh yeah, the spa features hot and cold plunge pools, steam room and sauna, two treatment rooms and a full beauty salon. Contact Burgess for more info.

The all-new exterior lines of Oceanco H3

I’ve seen lots of superyacht designs come to life thanks to the hard work, dedication, perseverance and love that the large fraternity of superyacht designers, builders, artists and countless others pour into every spectacular new yacht that gets launched.

The rebuilt Oceanco H3 got a "rockstar" relaunch.

But I must admit, after seeing the 344-foot-long Oceanco -built (and rebuilt) H3 (first launched in 2000) emerge after an intensive 3-year-rebuild, I’m at a loss for words. I’m in awe, actually. Because after spending time at Oceanco with the project team and the owner's representative , I understand why this project is way more than just a refit.

It’s been transformed into a brand-new yacht with every modern comfort, but also retains its…soul.

The accommodations onboard the 334-foot-long H3 are spectacular

The sustainability impact of this project is also pretty awe-inspiring to me, too. According to Oceanco’s team of engineers, simply using an existing hull instead of building an brand-new one resulted in a 50% reduction of carbon emissions for the build. And since H3 has been repowered with smaller yet much more efficient engines (and her top speed has been reduced slightly), the yacht burns much less fuel than she previously did as well. Delivery time was reduced by 25% as well, and hopefully we see more projects take this approach in the future.

The video wall in the welcome area of the Ocean co H3 is innovative as well as attention grabbing.

Oceanco’s CEO Marcel Onkenhout adds, “To say that this has been a remarkable process is an understatement. The project has called for passion, dedication and extraordinary craftsmanship, with many involved in her creation now contributing to her recreation, including myself.” Contact Edmiston for more info.

Silver Yachts' BOLD is sure to get attention at this years Monaco Yacht Show

The 278-foot-long BOLD is the largest and most aggressive superyacht the Australian-based Silveryachts has ever built. Working in collaboration with yacht designer Espen Øino BOLD brings a whole new look to the explorer yacht category.

There helideck aboard BOLD is...bold!

Amels Full Custom ENERGY will be at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show

The 255-foot-long Amels full-custom yacht ENERGY was created by exterior designer Espen Øino and interior designer Francois Zuretti to provide unapparelled luxury and access to the water.

The top deck’s helipad forward is a versatile space outside heliops—sun lounge, al fresco yoga studio with wraparound ocean views, a space for elevated entertainment served by the statement bar...assorted lounging areas and dayhead inside. The jacuzzi and sun pads aft allow guests to bask in the sun.

The bridge deck music lounge is designed for acoustic excellence. There is a Steinway baby grand piano and marble-topped bar. The entertainment continues in the open-air lounge aft, guests can find some privacy on the sofa forward of the bridge or keep going on the walkaround sidedecks to appreciate the anchorage from every possible vantage point.

Full-height windows in the the owner’s deck bedroom provide direct access to a private foredeck terrace, a hot tub and a mesmerizing marble fire pit. Contact Burgess for more info.
