Get ready to be amazed—Lürssen, the renowned German shipyard, has just unveiled its latest masterpiece: the 116-meter superyacht Boardwalk. But here’s where it gets intriguing: despite being commissioned in 2022 by an American owner, details about this vessel have been shrouded in secrecy, leaving enthusiasts and industry insiders alike clamoring for more information. Could this be the next big name in luxury yachting? Let’s dive in.
Previously known as Project 13797, Boardwalk was launched from Lürssen’s facilities in Lemwerder, Germany, marking another milestone for the shipyard. While specifics are scarce, one thing is clear: this yacht is a successor to the iconic 76.5-meter Feadship yacht Boardwalk, which made waves when it hit the market in September. And this is the part most people miss: the new Boardwalk isn’t just a follow-up—it’s a bold statement in design and scale, boasting six decks, two helipads, a sprawling beach club, and a massive pool with an adjoining spa pool on the aft deck. Talk about luxury!
Images of the yacht reveal a sleek, all-white profile that’s as striking as it is elegant. But here’s the controversial bit: with an estimated gross tonnage of 5,350GT and a steel-and-aluminum construction, Boardwalk is set to become the 20th largest yacht by length from Lürssen, edging out the legendary Ahpo by a mere 0.9 meters. Is this a case of bigger being better, or are we reaching a point of diminishing returns in superyacht design? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
Despite the hype, details about the interior layout, design team, and onboard amenities remain tightly under wraps. What we do know is that delivery is scheduled for early 2026, according to BOATPro. Until then, speculation will continue to swirl around this enigmatic vessel. One thing’s for sure: Boardwalk is poised to redefine luxury on the high seas. But the question remains—will it live up to the legacy of its namesake? Only time will tell. What’s your take on this secretive yet ambitious project? Let us know below!
