The delivery of the 102.4-metre NIXIE made this a record construction year for German yacht builder Lürssen.
The vessel, previously known as Project JASSJ, set out on her maiden voyage at the end of June and is Lürssen’s sixth delivery of 2026. She will make her global debut in September at Monaco Yacht Show 2026.
Designed by RWD, NIXIE’s exterior lines are sculpted with gentle undulations of deep contours and broad convex forms. Both her hull and superstructure are finished in a bespoke warm grey, which is light-responsive lending a pearlescent quality.
The structural glazing is equally considered, with each pane uniquely shaped and gradient-tinted. As with all Lürssen yachts, engineering and naval architecture were all completed in-house. One of her signature elements is a semi-suspended, six-metre-wide glass swimming pool positioned aft on the main deck. Conceived as an architectural space rather than a standalone amenity, the pool extends over the swim platform, creating a striking connection between the yacht and the sea. The pool features a privacy screen and has been engineered with adjustable water levels, making it fully accessible for multigenerational use.
Directly below is a beach club and fitness area, complete with a gym and cryochamber. Designed as a seamless indoor-outdoor space, four large sea terraces and the transom hatch lie flush with the Indian teak, creating a vast 270sq/m of liveable space. Delicate stonework and rich woods are used throughout, and all the furnishings and fixtures are bespoke artisanal pieces sourced from around the world by RWD.
Underneath her sinuous architecture is a diesel-electric propulsion system, supported by an advanced energy storage system, providing efficient operation across a wide range of cruising profiles. This architecture enables the highest level of onboard comfort through reduced noise and vibration.
