Project Cosmos, also known as Project 13759, has been launched at the yard’s facility in the German town of Rendsburg
Thanks to two 500 kW methanol fuel cells, Project Cosmos is capable of cruising at a speed of seven knots, covering a distance of 1000 nautical miles or spending up to 15 days at anchor with zero emissions. As a prototype, the yacht is also equipped with conventional diesel generators and engines.
The vessel is meant for long-range remote cruises, and her Ice Class 1D certification implies she can travel safely in “light ice” conditions.
Project Cosmos stands out for unusual design created by Marc Newson, known for his work on the 139.7-metre superyacht Solaris. The exterior of the vessel has already been described in detail at ilodka.com in the article named Lürssen reveals 114-metre methanol-powered Project Cosmos Lürssen.
The abundance of glass elements ensures panoramic views and a lot of natural light throughout the vessel. One should mention the glass band encasing the upper deck with the cabins, as well as the glass dome in the private owner's study. To make it possible, Lürssen has developed a custom solution to bend large sections of thick glass preserving its clarity for the owners to enjoy 360-degree panoramic views. There is also an al fresco lounge next to the studio.
The six-deck superyacht with a beam of 18 m and internal volume of 6300 GT can also boast a glass-encased observation lounge located at the bow, right under the helipad. The guests can admire seascapes in any weather here, while there is also an open balcony with a glass balustrade aft, overlooking the main deck.
The vessel’s ample aft section is fitted with a pool, a jacuzzi and sunbathing areas, and there is also a dry dock with a sledge for launching and retrieving the tender.
“While it is true that as a custom shipyard, no two yachts that leave our halls are ever the same, there are some that leave an indelible mark on our history – Cosmos is undoubtedly one of those yachts,” said the yard’s CEO, Peter Lürssen.
Based on the preliminary data, with a hull of steel and a superstructure of aluminium, Project Cosmos can accommodate up to 18 guests across nine cabins and a crew of 36.
Although Project Cosmos is one of the yard’s largest yachts in build, she is smaller than another Lürssen project, 134.2-metre Deep Blue, launched earlier this year. At present, the shipyard is working on 12 yachts over 100 metres, including the 102.7-metre Project Jassj scheduled for delivery this year.
As for Project Cosmos, the delivery to her Japanese owner is scheduled for 2026.
