Builder: Lurssen
A most eagerly anticipated in-build of the German mega-yacht manufacturer, measuring 135 meters and known as project Thunder, was launched on April 3 at Lurssen facility in Bremen.

Due for delivery towards the end of 2018, the colossal leisure vessel is expected to cruise mostly in Asian waters.

#2. Jubilee
Length: 110m
Builder: Oceanco
Launched on February 6, the largest yacht ever built in the Netherlands, the 110-meter Jubilee was delivered by Oceanco in July. The boat was ordered by the former emir of Qatar, but, following his death, she was put up for sale through Burgess.
The Italian-based designer of Russian origin, Igor Lobanov is responsible for her architecturally challenging exterior, which creates a visual effect of multi-level decks. The mega-yacht boasts a fully certified helicopter operating deck forward with a concealed mooring deck below. Viewed from above, her curvaceous lines lead aft to a large pool deck with a built-in aquarium and a substantial beach club. Jubilee can carry a total of 30 guests in 15 staterooms, including an entirely private owner’s deck, as well as a crew of 45, within her interior styled by Sam Sorgiovanni from Australia.

The boat’s modern interior notably features a 20 meters x 10 meters x 6 meters tennis court. Her efficient hull shape is said to reduce drag by up to 20%.

According to the contract signed in 2015 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the yacht is scheduled for delivery in 2019.
The UK-based designer Harrison Eidsgaard, in charge of the boat’s exterior, gave her harmonious proportions, so that, with her solid hull and a beam of 14m, she still boasts sleek and elegant contours. The abundance of volume allows for a large beach club and a Spa area with a sea terrace on the lower deck. The bow hosts a certified helicopter landing area. The sun deck aft offers a hidden crane in the bulwark to handle an aeroboat.
The interior layout was designed by Laura Sessa studio, known in the yachting world for collaborations with Amels. The living space can best be described as contemporary modern. The upper deck aft features a walkable skylight and an integrated fireplace for cozy moments in the evening.

The subtle cream hull in steel, along with the white superstructure with gray accents resemble her owner’s previous yachts. Areti is a voluminous boat, featuring an enormous master suite with eight spacious guest cabins. Many of her entertaining areas impose a beach-chic vibe, without sacrificing her elegance.
On the lower deck aft, one can find a Spa complete with sauna, hot tub, full depth plunge pool and experience showers.

The beach club itself includes a gym and a relaxation area accessible directly from the cabins.
Other amenities include a butler's cabin, a cinema on the main deck and a 25-meter sundeck with an interior section amidships complete with a barbecue & grill set up and a Jacuzzi. The atmosphere on Hasna is described as “beach chic”.

Length: 70m
Builder: Damen

The boat features a fully certified helideck, enabling owners to take larger helicopters on long-range flights to the mothership and land safely in a wider weather window. Lowering the helicopter into the hangar protects it from the elements, so it can be refueled and available for take-off without hassle and noise.
In addition, Game Changer has 250 square meters of open deck space for tenders and toys. The large deck crane makes logistics and handling simple, fast and safe. The 110-square-meter area below decks is occupied by a storage and a dive center. The vessel has facilities and accommodation for 22 crew and staff. It can carry a huge amount of extra provisions, fuel, luggage and spare parts.
