146m Lürssen superyacht Opera delivered
The 146-metre superyacht Opera has been delivered after leaving Lürssen's Bremen site in northern Germany. The tenth-largest privately owned yacht in the world undertook her maiden voyage to Portsmouth Harbour in the UK where she arrived yesterday (5 March).
Terence Disdale is responsible for both the exterior and interior of the yacht, which is understood to have a 20-metre beam and interior volume exceeding 10,000GT.
After paying a visit to Portsmouth, she is expected to continue onwards to a home berth in the Mediterranean or Middle East.
While details are sparse, pictures show a pair of helipads on the foredeck and upper deck aft and two swimming pools on the sun deck and main deck, the latter of which has a rise-and-fall floor.
Opera is thought to be a rebuild project of 145-metre Project Sassi, which was destroyed in the 2018 shipyard fire.
The yacht joins eight other in-build Lürssen superyachts, including the 100-metre-plus Project Alibaba and the 122-metre Project Jag , which is set to hit the water soon with delivery in 2023.

146-meter superyacht OPERA delivered

By Nina Done 7 March 2023
After departing Lürssen ’s Bremen shipyard in Germany on her maiden voyage, the 146m (480ft) superyacht OPERA has now arrived at the Historic Portsmouth Naval Base in the UK .
Showcasing pedigree Lürssen craftsmanship, the impressive yacht’s head-turning exteriors come courtesy of the industry-renowned Terence Disdale Design, who also reportedly collaborated on her interior design. She has been fitted with an aluminum superstructure and steel hull, with the German builder responsible for her naval architecture.
While her vast 12,518 GT interiors remain under wraps, from pictures we can see she sports two pools, one on her sundeck and one on her main deck aft – which can be converted into a dance floor. Meanwhile, there are also two helipads and a wealth of alfresco living spaces, as well as a sprawling beach club area with additional access via steps on both her port and starboard sides.
Featuring a whopping 20-meter (65.6ft) beam and a potential top speed of 22 knots, superyacht OPERA proposes a capacity for up to 36 guests across 18 cabins, plus a crew of 50.
At 146-meters, OPERA is officially the largest superyacht to pass through Portsmouth's historic harbor entrance, rivaling some of the UK Navy's largest ships in operation. Although, she is still dwarfed by her regal neighbor, the HM forces' Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, which is an impressive 285 meters in length.
The motor yacht marks Lürssen’s sixth largest superyacht to date, with a further eight in-build projects in the works, including the 122-meter Project Jag that is due for delivery sometime this year and Project Alibaba, due for delivery in 2024.
It is not yet known whether M/Y OPERA will become a luxury yacht for charter . If you'd like to charter a yacht of a similar caliber, you can view and compare all Lürssen superyachts for charter . Speak to a yacht charter broker today for more information about making a booking.

As yachts of this calibre are always extremely secretive, there have been very few details unveiled about OPERA. Judging by the photographs, we can tell that some of her main features include massive deck spaces, both in and out, two helipads, at least two swimming pools, numerous dining and lounging areas on various decks and a huge beach platform at transom. She is expected to have a large variety of water toys, including tenders, jet skis, inflatable toys and much, much more.
