Very little is known about Lurssen's mysterious superyacht OPERA.

At 146m, the superyacht will be the sixth largest yacht Lurssen has built at the time of her launch in September 2022. 

OPERA was first spotted in May 2021 when she transported to the yard's Bremen outfitting facilities in Germany.

opera yacht arriving to Portsmouth

146m Lürssen superyacht Opera delivered

The 146-metre superyacht Opera has been delivered after leaving Lürssen's Bremen site in northern Germany. The tenth-largest privately owned yacht in the world undertook her maiden voyage to Portsmouth Harbour in the UK where she arrived yesterday (5 March).

Terence Disdale is responsible for both the exterior and interior of the yacht, which is understood to have a 20-metre beam and interior volume exceeding 10,000GT. 

After paying a visit to Portsmouth, she is expected to continue onwards to a home berth in the Mediterranean or Middle East.

While details are sparse, pictures show a pair of helipads on the foredeck and upper deck aft and two swimming pools on the sun deck and main deck, the latter of which has a rise-and-fall floor.

Opera is thought to be a rebuild project of 145-metre Project Sassi, which was destroyed in the 2018 shipyard fire.

The yacht joins eight other in-build Lürssen superyachts, including the 100-metre-plus Project Alibaba and the 122-metre Project Jag , which is set to hit the water soon with delivery in 2023.

Written by Rachael Steele

German shipyard Lürssen has successfully launched the 146m/479ft luxury mega yacht PROJECT OPERA from its facilities in Bremen. She was captured by avid yacht spotter and photographer DrDuu.

M/Y PROJECT OPERA is believed to be the replacement yacht for the same-sized mega yacht PROJECT SASSI, which was destroyed by a fire at the shipyard in 2018. Europe’s largest floating dock (290m/951.5ft long, 53m/174ft wide and 51m/167ft tall) was employed to bring PROJECT OPERA to the Bremen facilities back in May 2021.

PROJECT OPERA is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure with naval architecture from the shipyard. She has a 20m/65.7ft beam and comes in at 11999 GT.

Few details have been revealed in regard to the styling and amenities aboard the luxury yacht PROJECT OPERA, however, exterior shots reveal a foredeck helipad and a second one on the sundeck aft, a Jacuzzi and sunbeds forward and a cavernous beach club attached to a generous lower deck swim platform. Two stairways sweep up to the main deck two floors above and a swimming pool behind the observation area along the stern.

M/Y PROJECT OPERA is one of four mega yachts currently under construction at Lürssen, the others being 145m/475.8ft luxury yacht LUMINANCE due for launch later in 2022, 122m/400ft JAG in 2023 and 137m/449.5ft ALIBABA in 2024.

Sea trials are expected shortly for PROJECT OPERA, with delivery taking place before the end of 2022.

EXCLUSIVE: Lürssen's 146m superyacht Project Opera breaks cover

  • Share this on Facebook
  • Share this on X
  • Share via Email

By Mairead Finlay   16 April 2021

The technical launch of Lürssen's latest superyacht Project Opera  has taken place at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg this morning. Due for delivery next year, she is believed to be a replacement for the 146m motor yacht SASSI, which was unfortunately destroyed in a fire at Lürssen's German shipyard in 2018. She's been moved to a floating dock before departing to Bremen shortly where she will begin outfitting and prepare for sea trials.

Project OPERA believed to be a direct replacement of destroyed vessel

As typical of Lürssen projects (such as motor yacht NORD ), superyacht Project Opera's build was shrouded in secrecy and completed in record time too: given that she is reportedly the exact same staggering length as luxury yacht SASSI. 

According to our exclusive images of Project Opera at the Hamburg shipyard, she appears to be a direct replacement of the destroyed vessel, with similar porthole window designs. We can see she has generous outdoor spaces, including a Jacuzzi on the sundeck and a large swimming pool on the main deck aft. The photos also reveal she has an ample beach club, swimming platform and tender garages.

As one would expect of a superyacht of this size and calibre, Project Opera will almost certainly have the finest facilities for her owner and guests to enjoy. In terms of convenience and the least intrusion possible, this will likely include an elevator, a separate crew passageway and an owner's study. For the ultimate indulgence, a variety of pampering facilities such as a sauna, spa, massage room and hammam are also anticipated to be featured, providing guests with their own reinvigorating private paradise. Other probable amenities include a cinema and a gym.

As for her expected exterior features, she will likely have 2 helipads, including one on the bow — which has become the new standard for superyachts over 100m.

Will motor yacht OPERA be available for yacht charter?

It is believed that Project Opera will be a private yacht and will not become available for  superyacht charters once delivered.
