Lürssen delivers 117m Boardwalk

The 117-metre Boardwalk superyacht has been delivered by Lürssen.

The exterior of the traditionally style yacht was led by Frank Woll alongside the late Amy Halffman, Suzanne Glover, and Teresa Francis on the interior spaces.

This week, Nausicaä, the 114.2 metre vessel known during its build as Cosmos, was also delivered by the yard.

Woll says: “I believe nature is one of the finest architects, the starting point for Boardwalk was the fluid and streamlined geometry of the sea’s most agile marine life, sculpted by water itself. In the evening, when she is on display, we are revealing her timeless clarity of form with a constellation of lights.”

Beneath the water, Boardwalk has a steel and aluminium structure. Inside, expansive stretches of high-gloss burled mahogany, stainless steel, and complex double-convex forms create visual rhythm throughout the interior.

There are 11 guest staterooms, including a generous forward VIP suite with an ensuite finished in onyx and a private al fresco lounge offering sweeping views over the bow.

The remaining suites each have direct access to the wide side deck with glass doors to create large private terraces.

Boardwalk also features a sweeping main deck aft, swimming pool and Jacuzzi.

The main deck aft also introduces a Lürssen first – a retractable deck section over the stairwell that connects the deck with the beach club – once closed it is hermetically sealed and class-approved. The innovation was inspired by a development first pioneered on Hadar (built as Flying Fox) in 2019.

Another unusual feature is a glass-walled catwalk that transforms the engine room into an engineering gallery, alongside a substantial tender garage.

Boardwalk has been delivered with three custom 40’/12-metre Hodgdon tenders, an amphibious tender, off-road 4x4s, and numerous other land-based vehicles.

Further amenities include a cinema, a spacious spa and gym, a putting green, and two helipads.

“Our singular job as a shipyard is to translate a vision into an operational vessel,” says Peter Lürssen. “At Lürssen, this also means exceeding expectations, but this can only be achieved through clear and accurate conversations. The lines of communication throughout this build had exceptional clarity. For this I am incredibly grateful, and I believe the results speak for themselves.”
