Lürssen's CALI launches for sea trials

Hull 13775, a well-kept secret of the German shipyard, has now been revealed as Project CALI ahead of taking to the seas for trials.

Constructed with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, 82m (269ft) CALI is a collaboration between the lead exterior designer at Lürssen Yachts, Jim Robert Sluijter, and the design studio RWD for the interior.

With an impressive beam of 12.5m (41ft) and a draft of 3.5m (11.4ft), CALI is currently undergoing sea trials, anticipating delivery in Q1 of 2024.

CALI

CALI presents a remarkably sleek and graceful profile, highlighted by its unique reversed bow design. Construction of this superyacht commenced in 2020, with the keel laid down in September of that same year. Designed to cater to a family which enjoys outdoor pursuits, the superyacht has notable features that prioritize open-air experiences.

A standout feature of CALI is its expansive beach club located on the lower deck, complemented by sea terraces on either side and cleverly linked to a generously sized swim platform at the stern. The sun deck, spanning 30m (98ft) in length, offers panoramic views, providing abundant space for both daytime and evening activities. This deck includes a jacuzzi, lounge area, bar, and dining space equipped with a barbecue and pizza oven, as well as an outdoor cinema. Furthermore, CALI showcases a spacious infinity pool on its aft deck, accompanied by twin staircases that lead to an expansive swim platform.

CALI

Project CALI has a low, sleek profile and is generous with both interior and exterior space. She is an 82-meter tri-deck that places great emphasis on outdoor conviviality."
