Nobiskrug wins contract for completion of much anticipated 77m superyacht Black Shark

The 77.1-metre superyacht Black Shark will now be completed at Nobiskrug, who has just won the contract to complete the much anticipated vessel. Notably she is the third order secured since the shipyard’s economic restart following the acquisition by Tennor Group. Owner and Founder of the Tennor Group, Lars Windhorst, was directly involved in the negotiations for Black Shark and commented in the press release that “this success is proof of Nobiskrug’s capabilities, and that the current order book significantly contributes to the new orientation of the shipyard.”Read: Secrets of the Shark: 77m Nobiskrug superyacht Black Shark

Black Shark is already at the Nobiskrug facilities and is awaiting completion in the 160-metre covered and air-conditioned dry dock shed. It is here that her interior and exterior outfitting will be completed – including all cable and pipework as well as the installation of the air conditioning and ventilation system. Following this the yard will turn its attention to the lighting, entertainment and interior styling.

“In intensive negotiations we prevailed against strong competitors and proved that we are the best partner for our customer. The fact that we were able to renew the contract for the construction of this outstanding ship makes me very proud on behalf of the employees of the shipyard,” says Philipp Maracke, Managing Director of Nobiskrug. The construction of the superyacht will be completed at the shipyard in Rendsburg. Black Shark’s unique exterior styling was conceived by the British-based design firm Winch, who sculpted her with a reverse bow and a mast that emulates a shark’s fin. She has been drawn with five decks and plenty of outdoor amenities: Black Shark has a large spa, a Jacuzzi and two tenders. Little is known about her interior apart from that she’ll have 2,088 GT of volume and that Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design has been enlisted for the styling. 

Black Shark will be delivered to her owner in the summer of 2023. Imperial Yachts is acting as both the broker and owner’s representative.
