Lurssen

Inside Lürssen’s 282-foot Quattroelle

Quattroelle is certainly not the biggest Lürssen, nor is she the smallest, but she may well be the sweetest. The name means “four Ls” in Italian, and in the case of their new 86-meter (282-foot) superyacht delivered earlier this year, the Ls stand for life, love, liberty and luxury, although not necessarily in that order.

News and New Launches

Three shipyards, three big pieces of news. Lurssen and Abeking & Rasmussen launch two impressive new yachts and CRN celebrates a huge milestone with their 50th anniversary.

Oceans 10

Yachts International presents the 10 largest yachts launched in the past year.

Oceans 10: Lurssen’s Topaz

Topaz, which spent time in Barcelona this past April, is another yacht cloaked in secrecy. While Terence Disdale created her interior, there are no details on her décor.

Tender Ashore in Style

Twenty years ago, Boston Whalers and RIBs were as popular with large-yacht buyers as they were with boaters who owned just these craft. They served as occasional toys or were used for utilitarian purposes by the mothership’s crew, and sometimes both. The more yachts grew in size, though, the more time they started spending at anchor. Suddenly, owners found themselves needing a better way of getting to and from shore.

Oceans 10: Lurssen’s Quattroelle

“Quattroelle” refers to what the owner considers the four most important Ls: Love, Life, Liberty and Luxury. You can even spy four Ls, grouped into two sets of interlocking letters, painted on her bow and mast.

Oceans 10: Lurssen’s Azzam

Azzam officially launched in April of this year, but Lürssen first floated her out of the build shed in late May of 2012 and towed her to another, longer shed to complete her bow section and uppermost superstructure.

Lürssen’s Lady Kathryn V: The Skydeck’s the Limit

Lürssen delivered Lady Kathryn V to owners with extensive yacht experience. Adam Lay created the interior for this Øino-designed belle. The yacht is at home in Palm Beach, Fla., as she would be in the English countryside. While part of a “series,” she is truly one of a kind.

Two Tenders That Turn Heads

Choosing a tender for your superyacht is getting harder and harder. Now two more options join the international lineup: Scandinavian builder Delta Powerboats’ Delta 26 and Colombo Boats’ Colombo 32 designed by Nuvolari-Lenard.

Oceans 12: The Year of the Megayacht

This past year saw the launch of a vessel that will likely unseat the current queen of the Top 100, Eclipse. Currently under lock and key at German builder Lürssen’s yard, speculations on ownership of this 591-foot (180-meter) yacht abound, but this wasn’t Lürssen’s only marquee moment.
