Lurssen: 146m Superyacht OPERA Delivered

Lurssen has successfully delivered the captivating 146m (479ft) superyacht OPERA, completing her maiden voyage to Portsmouth, UK, on 5 March 2023.

With outfitting completed at the Lurssen Bremen facility in North Germany, superyacht OPERA currently ranks as the ninth-largest superyacht in the world and features interior and exterior styling by Terence Disdale.

Anticipating an onward journey to a home berth situated either in the Mediterranean or the Middle East, superyacht OPERA was launched in September 2022 and successfully completed her sea trials in the North Sea in November 2022.  

Details of the interiors remain shrouded in mystery, however, we do know superyacht OPERA boasts an interior volume that exceeds 10,000GT.

Exteriors strike up incredible vantage points into how the rest of the yacht looks inside, with dual helipads and an extensive-looking beach club including fold-down waterside terraces for additional relaxation space.

Two swimming pools situated on the main and sun decks are also visible to onlookers, along with multiple alfresco lounge and dining options for premium onboard liveability. 

World's Largest Yachts

Setting Lurssen up for a busy and exciting year, Lurssen is also expected to deliver 145m (475ft) superyacht LUMINANCE this year, following her launch in February 2023. This megayacht will also become one of the world's biggest yachts.

Gross Tonnage (GT) is the key to understanding a yacht’s true size - it measures the total interior space, including all living areas and storage. Taking superyacht OPERA and the world’s second longest superyacht DUBAI: despite their length difference, they offer almost the same usable volume. How much more space does DUBAI have? Only one extra shipping container’s worth.

Enter the YB100, YachtBuyer’s innovative ranking system based on GT. On this list, superyacht DUBAI drops to ninth, six spots lower than her length-based rank in the Top 100. Meanwhile, superyacht OPERA climbs to eighth, up one position from her length rank.
