Before everyone is posting their pictures about superyacht KISMET, we want to share with you our very own pictures of this 122m Lurssen giant during her Sea Trials earlier this year.
Every year, the Monaco Yacht Show is a showcase for the world’s most exclusive and beautiful yachts, and in 2024, the Kismet is one of the undisputed stars of the show. The show, which takes place in Port Hercules in September, attracts yacht enthusiasts, owners and celebrities alike. For many, the Kismet will symbolise the ultimate in luxury and elegance.
Visitors to the show will have the rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of this floating work of art and be awed by its size and splendour. The yacht will certainly provide plenty to talk about and admire at the show.
In May we had the chance to join M/Y SKAT on sea trials after she completed her refit at Kusch Yachts in Wewelsfleth.
The 71m yacht has been sold prior her shipyard period and is now ready to sail the seven seas again. SKAT was built by Lürssen in 2002 with a military design drawn by Espen Oeino.
During her refit SKF Marine installed new stabilizers for smoother sailings and less rolling movements of the yacht.
Things you can do as a yacht photographer during quarantine: Examine your photographs of the last summer.
If you are stuck in quarantine and aren’t allowed to go out of your flat for two weeks. There are two options of how to deal with it. First one, relax on a couch and wait until these long 14 days are over. Or second option, try to do as much „office“ work as possible from home. So instead of reclining on a couch with your TV on, it was time to look up our harddrives for some yet unshared new pictures. And there are several unique treasures which are about to be revealed here.

During MYS 2019 we’ve been extremely busy, catching up with some yacht industry friends, visiting yachts, doing sea trials in the bay, etc. There was a lot to do and many pictures had been taken during these couple of days. But it sadly wasn’t possible to process all these pictures. That’s why we still have many pictures in the pipeline.

Before you’re getting bored of our wailing we present you some pictures of Octopus. This recoginzable yacht has been listed for sale in early 2019 and was showcased in Monaco for the very first time. She was built in 2003 in Kiel for Paul Allen. Octopus is a true explorer yacht and was used a lot for expeditions and explorations. In 2015 her owner discovered the sunken battleship Musashi in the Sibuyan Sea. After Paul Allens death in October 2018 the yacht arrived in Hamburg for a refit. Since 2019 she is up for sale and ready to start sailing the world again with a new owner. On board are various tenders and toys stored, including two helicopters, a large submarine for up to 8 people and a 19m Vikal tender.

A few weeks ago the legendary superyacht Eclipse arrived in Hamburg. This 163 meter long vessel was built in 2010 in Hamburg at Blohm&Voss shipyard. And now she’s back at her construction site for a refit. Eclipse is well known for her serial yacht owner Roman Abramovic. As well as for many rumors about her technical features. Confirmed is that Terence Disdale designed her exterior and interior. Eclipse is the largest yacht drawn by him and his team, but he is responsible for several other well known yachts like A+(ex. Topaz), Pelorus, Radiant, Tatoosh,…
And here are some pictures of megayacht Eclipse in Hamburg. If you are interested in more pictures, please drop a message to info@superyachtblog.de.

Flying Fox is a really impressive appearance! With 136m, which is larger than a football field, she’s the largest yacht for charter at the moment! The serial yacht owner who already owned a Nobiskrug motoryacht with a length of 73,5m, with the same name. But his present yacht was built 2019 in Bremen at the Lürssen shipyard. The grey hull and her beautiful lines were drawn by Espen Oeino and Mark Berryman designed her massive interior! Flying Fox already visited the famous Norwegian fjords on her maiden voyage and is now available in the Med. The rumours are that she can be chartered for about 4.000.000€/week + expenses. Flying Fox is available for charter through Imperial Yachts.
Die 124 Meter lange Superyacht Katara, gebaut im Jahr 2010 bei Lürssen in Bremen ist im Moment zu Besuch in Norddeutschland. Sie ist aktuell in Rendsburg, für ein Refit bei Nobiskrug. Da die Docks der Werft zunächst noch belegt waren ging es an den Pier des Rendsburger Kreishafens. Nach einer Probefahrt in der Kieler Bucht am 6.2.2019, bei der unter anderem die Motoren der Luxusyacht getestet wurden, ging es einen Tag später in das nun freigewordene Dock bei Nobiskrug.
Nachfolgend nun einige Bilder von Katara in Rendsburg und auf dem Weg zu ihrer Probefahrt in Kiel.
On the 13th of August project TIS (Palo Alto) was launched by Luerssen in Rendsburg. It was a big pleasure to see this huge superyacht hits the water for the first time. I’ve spent several hours watching this scenery. When she came out of the shed and made a 180° turn it was so interesting so see so many details and beautiful lines all over the whole superyacht!
This 111m superyacht will be delivered at the end of this year. TIS was designed by Winch Design and managed by Moran Yacht & Ship.
Enjoy some pictures of Avanti. This 61 meter superyacht was built in 2004 by Luerssen. The timeless yacht has an impressive range of 7700nm at her cruising speed of 13 knots.
Exterior designed by Winch Design and interior was drawn by Moffit Design. Accomodation for up to 12 people and a crew of 16.
The yacht spent some time in the Baltic Sea. Great to see more and more yacht exploring this beautiful area in Northern Europe.
Espen Oeino designed the military inspired superyacht Skat. She is 70,70 meter long and has a beam of 13,50 meter. The Lürssen yacht was built in 2002 and outfitted with interior by Marco Zanini.
