117M Lürssen Superyacht BOARDWALK Successfully Launches At Lemwerder

While it's unknown whether superyacht BOARDWALK herself is destined for the charter market later down the line, her sheer scale, volume, and lifestyle-driven design offer a telling glimpse into the direction of next-generation large-yacht builds, and what future motor yacht charters may need to deliver to meet the rising expectations of guests.

Spanning six expansive decks with a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and a distinctly elongated bow, her aesthetic is unmistakably that of a Lürssen superyacht: clean horizontal lines, sculpted deck levels and sweeping terraces that emphasise scale without losing elegance.

Designed in collaboration with Frank Woll and interior stylist Amy Halffman, BOARDWALK draws heavily on the owner’s vision, resulting in a yacht tailored for multi-generational living, long-range cruising, and high-end guest entertainment. Although full interior details remain under wraps for now, the first images reveal a profile rich with features and amenities that are typically expected for superyachts and the world's largest yachts for charter.

Visible from the initial video footage and images of her launch, superyacht BOARDWALK presents an impressive list of amenities:

• Two full helipads - one forward and one aft, providing seamless access for guests and aviation support.
• A large main-deck pool and adjacent spa pool, with another substantial pool positioned on the upper deck for elevated views.
• A multi-level beach club and wide swim platform, setting the stage for waterside living and tender operations.
• Expansive outdoor lounges and sun terraces, designed for socialising, dining, and relaxation across several decks.

These lifestyle spaces establish BOARDWALK as a yacht built for comfort, privacy, and versatility, embodying exactly the kind of features that charter guests routinely seek aboard the world’s premier luxury yacht charters in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

Even though BOARDWALK will remain strictly private primarily, her arrival has a ripple effect across the charter sector.

Raising expectations
Her extraordinary volume highlights the continuing trend toward large-scale family-oriented yachts with generous pools, dual helipads, and wellness-focused beach clubs, all features that charter clients increasingly request.

Influencing future fleet design
As more ultra-large private yachts like BOARDWALK emerge, shipyards and owners developing new charter-eligible yachts will take cues from these high-impact builds, shaping the next generation of motor yacht charters.

Shifting guest preferences
When clients witness yachts of BOARDWALK’s calibre, demand grows for charter yachts offering similar amenities, elevating expectations across the market, from West Mediterranean yacht charters to winter itineraries in the charter routes of the Virgin Islands.

Superyacht BOARDWALK is expected to undergo outfitting after completing sea trials ahead of delivery in 2026, though her operational profile is currently to remain fully private. However, her launch sets the tone for several major deliveries on the horizon in the new year.

For charter clients drawn to the lifestyle BOARDWALK represents, there has never been a better moment to watch the upper end of the market evolve, and to explore the growing selection of large-volume yachts ready to charter in iconic destinations worldwide.
