German shipbuilder Lürssen is constructing a 139-m motor yacht tailor-made for global exploration and designed by Italy’s Nuvolari-Lenard

Project Redwood will be Passenger Yacht Code compliant and is being built with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure.

The Venice-based yacht design studio, which is working on the vessel’s concept, exterior and interior design, revealed that the superyacht will have the capability for landing two helicopters on the decks. It will carry a fleet of tenders for a range of purposes, including a number of very large tenders of 15 m.

For activity enthusiasts, there will be a sports and diving centre located on the lower decks, as well as a large swimming pool, partially protected from the elements. 

Once delivered, Project Redwood will have efficient, long-range cruising capabilities for independent global exploration.

The superyacht is under construction at Lürssen’s facilities in Bremen, and the design studio is collaborating with the same owner’s representatives and build team from Moran Yacht & Ship with which it worked on 88-m Quatroelle, delivered in 2013.

Project Redwood is expected to be delivered to its owner in 2019.
