At the Lürssen shipyard in Bremen-Nord, the approximately 146-metre-long hull of the new yacht project “Devy” (build number 13798) has been undocked after several months of construction.
With the help of three Boluda tugs and the old tugboat “Greif” at the stern, the yacht, which is estimated to be around 23 m wide, was towed out of the 170 m long and only 25.2 m wide covered shipbuilding hall at a backwater level of the Weser without any problems.
After turning directly in front of the new yacht “Deep Blue”, which was moored at the fitting-out pier, the ship, which has five passenger decks, was first moored at the fitting-out pier in Bremen-Aumund. In the next few days, the longest yacht project currently under construction at the Lürssen shipyard will be moved to the covered floating dock for the final painting and outfitting work. Delivery will probably not take place until 2027.
Even in the otherwise well-informed yacht portals, there is only very sparse information on the “Devy” project; the client is said to be a US hedge fund billionaire, but this information has not been confirmed anywhere. There are also no design sketches or details of the design offices involved in this yacht, which will probably be one of the top 20 longest yachts in the world when it is delivered.
Lürssen Yachts is regarded as the most exclusive superyacht builder in the world. It has built the largest and longest mega yachts in the world to date (“Dilbar” and “Azzam”) as well as many other yachts that are listed in the top 10 of the world’s largest yachts. The Hamburg shipyard Blohm + Voss has also been part of the company since 2016. The company is active in the maritime sector at seven different locations in northern Germany with more than 2,800 employees, each specializing in a specific concept or yacht size – from around 60 m to well over 200 m in length.
