Biggest yacht launches for 2023

We took a look at some of the largest superyachts due to be launched this next year, from Lürssen’s to Feadships and much more!

The biggest upcoming superyacht launches for 2023

The 118-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7928" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking 6507118.0m (387'2&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen2023">Hull 6507</a> has been launched in Lemwerder, Germany this morning. The launch of the black hulled superyacht was witnessed by the members of the project management team, including André Jonker who led the build for the shipyard. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/252122/image/large-1daf90a2ba2eafc22f9e1d2a7d4a4c32.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/252122">The superyacht is the largest vessel ever built by the shipyard in its 115-year heritage. Jonker commented "The work has more than paid off. We have once again succeeded in building an exceptional yacht."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/252118/image/large-83140abbb00ebb614374123a62a90820.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/252118">Sales Director Till von Krause is also thrilled when he sees &nbsp;the black beauty standing on the pontoon. "This yacht impresses with its iconic and clear design". Furthermore, the experts from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Joseph Dirand Architecture (Company)">Joseph Dirand Architecture</a> in Paris, who were responsible for the &nbsp;exterior and interior design, have come up with numerous details. "For example, on starboard &nbsp;side there is a Neptune lounge with a 3.40-metre x 1.30-metre underwater window that provides a unique &nbsp;view into the world below sea level." &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/252117/image/large-1d0c817aed374e7caffa66c974c2adc3.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/252117">The shipyard commented, "The exterior design is deliberately understated, with no anchor pockets interrupting the sleek and elegant silhouette. A perfect observation experience can be enjoyed from the crow's nest at the foot of &nbsp;the mast. Another unique place on board is the large marble-clad fireplace with a generous round sofa on the forward sundeck."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/252119/image/large-78d0ef57f58240c809587a3d210dde41.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/252119">Other unusual engineering features include the 16-metre hatch for the tender garage on the port side, as well as the full certified helicopter located on the sundeck.

A Torqeedo electric propulsion system will propel the yacht silently for up to 30nm at 8-knots from battery power alone. Whilst sailing, the propulsion system will regenerate the four BMW lithium battery banks by rotating the propeller shaft whilst the yacht is under sail.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169823/image/large-243e5c8ed9102e6bc215cfdfc850dd31.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169823"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169817/image/large-3375fca728472d95df1a72897942d196.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169817">Spirit founder and head designer Sean McMillan commented: “A single-masted wooden yacht of this size that can be owner-driven is nothing less than a feat of engineering. &nbsp;The yacht’s impressive strength to weight ratio, a carbon rig and lightweight, performance sails will allow the owner to compete at regattas worldwide.” &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169818/image/large-78d146f630fca26fc1cad1269db86380.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169818"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169832/image/large-b435060dce5c1305ebcc990717da4913.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169832"> Inside, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/200" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rhoades Young Design (Company)">Rhoades Young Design</a> assisted with the interior design, which was conceived to be curvaceous and unique. Rhoades Young partner Jonathan Rhoades commented: “The brief was a combination of his love for furniture and organic architecture. The client had recently visited Antelope Canyon in Arizona and this was the catalyst for the idea of the warm soft flowing walls creating unique focal points within the room. Whilst appearing simple these twisting forms are co-ordinated perfectly with the beautiful skylights above creating a calm and tranquil ambience. These elegant forms not only twist and peel to create counters but uniquely create the intimate backdrops for the highly detailed ‘steam pieces’ which blur the line between furniture and sculpture. It has been an absolute privilege to work on this project with the client and the craftsmen and women who created it.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/169808/image/large-6ddc06d841350af44f8cf6de05d37ea9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/169808">With exposed Sipo, teak and American Walnut timbers on show, the interior plan includes an open-plan saloon and galley, discreet doors and lighting systems both with sensor-activated operation. For accommodation, guests have the choice of two double ensuite aft staterooms or a starboard-side double VIP cabin. The forward cabin holds the spacious master suite, complete with curved sofas built into the side of the hull, a double bed and ensuite. &nbsp;Rhoades Young designer Marcus Wright added: “It was a great privilege to represent the owner’s interests and ensure we delivered a yacht that surpassed his expectations. &nbsp;With the knowledge that Spirit Yachts can make absolutely anything in wood, it was a thoroughly enjoyable process to take Rhoades Young’s beautiful interpretation of an unusual brief and assist in the creation of such a work of art.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/83916/image/large-3df2cfd70a54d3fa70226ab2959ff431.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/83916">
