Abeking & Rasmussen launch superyacht Hull 6507

Abeking & Rasmussen has successfully launched 118m (387ft) Hull 6507, the shipyard's largest build to date. 

Hitting the water at the yard's facility based in Lemwerder, Germany, the launch took place on 18 December 2022 and was witnessed by the project management team.

Boasting engineering and naval architecture completed by the in-house design team at Abeking & Rasmussen, the project has been led by André Jonker with Cornelsen & Partner being chosen to represent the new North American Owner.

Featuring design collaboration with Parisian design studio Joseph Dirand Architecture on both the exteriors and interiors, Hull 6507 is a phenomenal yacht from the off with a host of unique facilities.

The exteriors at first glance look spacious and house a fully certified helipad, plus a vast swimming pool aft, an on-deck Jacuzzi and of course a beach club environment.

In addition these facilities you'd expect to see on a superyacht of this size, a key feature for guests wanting to enjoy the exteriors is a large marble-clad fireplace which has been paired with a generous round sofa on the forward sundeck.

Many details are still under wraps in regard to the interiors, however, Sales Director Till von Krause has confirmed there is a Neptune Lounge onboard complete with a 3.4m by 1.3m underwater window that offers outstanding views into the marine world.

World's Largest Yachts

Scheduled for a 2023 delivery, Hull 6507 would, at the time of writing, be the 33rd longest superyacht in the world according to the Top 100, up there with superyacht A by Blohm + Voss and superyacht INFINITY by Oceanco.

With a Gross Tonnage of 5,054GT, superyacht Hull 6507 will also feature in the new more accurate YachtBuyer YB100 Largest yachts by GT table by virtue of her large internal volume. Within the YB100, superyacht LIVA O has the 43rd position and descends by eight places from her spot in the Top 100, but overtakes her longer neighbour, superyacht INFINITY by four spots!
