Every centimetre of interior and exterior space usage has to be presented, discussed and agreed with the owners, and this has led to many inspiring discussions. We really look forward to seeing her completed over the coming months, including a spectacular interior.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7872" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen 1380055.5m (182'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2021">Project 13800</a> is the smallest Lürssen to have been built in recent years, in fact she is the first yacht in the 50-60-metre range to be built by the yard since 1995.
