Luxury German yacht builder Lürssen is the preferred shipyard used by some of the world’s biggest billion dollar ballers, including Roman Abramovich, Larry Ellison, and Paul Allen. Recently, the company’s launched some of the biggest and baddest boats to hit the waters, such as the 230-foot Martha Ann and the 223-foot Kismet. While details remain scarce on Lürssen’s latest launch, “Project Opal,” we know that the 110-meter closely resembles Abramovich’s 377-foot Pelorus and is set to sail sometime during the summer. YachtForums‘ German photographer snapped the shot above. We’re impressed. As we learn more we’ll keep you up-to-date.

Lurssen, the German Superyacht builder famous for building Larry Ellison and Paul Allen’s boats, is scheduled to deliver the new 230 ft Martha Ann to its owners in April. The yacht hit the water in December for preliminary trials, when the picture above was snapped.
Designed by Espen Oeino, Martha Ann boasts six decks, a glass elevator in the lobby, a 1,400 square foot master suite, numerous guest rooms, a huge sports bar and gym, and a large Jacuzzi. Francois Zuretti designed the interiors in a classical style.
Two CAT 1,500kW engines power the Martha Ann, giving this Lurssen superyacht a top speed of 15.5 knots and a range of 4,000 nm.
Rumor has it the Martha Ann will be available for charter in the near future.
