German yacht builder Lürssen has officially launched the newest iteration of the superyacht Boardwalk, marking one of the most notable debuts of the year for the large-yacht market. The launch took place at Lürssen’s facilities in northern Germany, drawing industry attention as the project transitions from shipyard rollout to final outfitting ahead of sea trials.
While many project details remain private, the launch confirms that Boardwalk continues the tradition of large, privately commissioned yachts built to highly customized specifications—an area in which Lürssen consistently leads the market.
A Successor to a Well-Known Name
The new Boardwalk follows the legacy of the previous 76-metre Boardwalk delivered by Feadship in 2021. The owner has now moved to an even larger and more advanced vessel, signalling a significant upgrade in capability, volume, and long-range performance.
Lürssen, known for building some of the largest and most private yachts in the world, was selected to bring this next evolution of Boardwalk to life—an indicator of the scale and ambition behind the project.
Design and Exterior Profile
Although the shipyard has not yet released full technical specifications, early images show a bold, modern profile consistent with Lürssen’s recent design direction. Strong horizontal lines, tiered decks, and large window bands suggest expansive interior spaces with panoramic views.
The yacht appears to feature generous outdoor entertainment areas, including extended aft terraces and what may be a multi-level beach club—common trends among recent Lürssen builds.
Interior Craftsmanship and Amenities
Interior details remain confidential, but given the owner’s history and Lürssen’s reputation, the new Boardwalk is expected to include:
- Large owner and VIP suites
- Multiple entertainment lounges
- Fitness and wellness areas
- High-end materials and custom furnishings
- A cinema or immersive media room
As with many projects of this scale, the yacht will undergo several months of interior outfitting as craftsmen complete bespoke joinery, soft goods installation, and technical integration.
Engineering and Performance
Lürssen yachts are known for their engineering pedigree, and Boardwalk is expected to follow suit with advanced propulsion, long-range efficiency, and cutting-edge systems. While exact figures are not yet public, yachts in this category often exceed 90 metres and are capable of global cruising with transoceanic range.
The upcoming sea trials will reveal more about performance characteristics, noise reduction, stability, and fuel efficiency.
A Significant Launch for 2025
The debut of Boardwalk adds another major build to Lürssen’s 2025 launch calendar and reinforces the yard’s position as a leader in the ultra-large yacht space. As more details emerge through the commissioning process, Boardwalk is likely to become one of the most talked-about deliveries of the year.
For now, the launch marks an exciting milestone for the owner, the design teams, and Lürssen’s shipyard engineers who brought this impressive project to life.
