A new megayacht more than 100 m long from Lürssen will be headed for the Middle East after hitting the waters at the German shipyard’s facility in Rendsburg over the weekend.

Designed by Espen Oeino, the 106-m project Mistral was launched from the floating dock 31 months after her keel was laid in 2013.

Project Mistral will be delivered later in the year and will be the second yacht Lürssen will deliver in 2016. After her delivery she will depart to the Middle East where she will join a fleet of other yachts.
