142m Lurssen Superyacht Project ALI BABA on Sea Trials

Lürssen maintained absolute secrecy throughout the yacht's construction, keeping the project shrouded in mystery until the yacht emerged from the shipyard’s shed.

Construction started in early 2020 with the keel laid under the project name GRANDE II. Now in its sea trials phase, the 142m motor yacht Project ALI BABA is preparing for its delivery to the new owner.

The superyacht Project Ali Baba is on sea trials near Brunsbüttel, Germany, with an anticipated delivery in December. Lürssen, the renowned yacht-building giant, has maintained strict confidentiality throughout the construction of this 142-meter yacht. Project Ali Baba was first glimpsed in May 2022 when it emerged from the construction shed, and again in December during an unfortunate dock gate incident at the Bremen yard.

The yacht is a full custom yacht designed by Lurssen, known as a builder of some of the world's biggest yachts. The yacht has four exterior decks and includes two helipads. Exterior styling has been compared to Lurssen yacht PACIFIC which was designed by German Frers. 

The yacht is expected to provide accommodation for up to 24 guests across 12 staterooms.
