Odisea left Germany on 13 March 2026. She measures 78.20 metres and was built by Lürssen under the project name ACE 21. The significant detail here is another one: this is the first time the German yard has worked with British studio RWD on both the exterior and interior design of the same yacht. Since 2000 Lürssen has delivered more than 20 yachts under 80 metres, roughly a third of the yard’s total output over that period. None of them, until now, with RWD handling both sides.

RWD said: “The collaboration between RWD and Lürssen has been driven by mutual respect, the client’s vision and a shared ambition for excellence. The result is a yacht that speaks to quiet confidence, considered design and truly elegant liveability.”

Vertical bow, expansive glazing. Inside, natural tones, soft woods, pale marble. Nothing loud.

The most recognisable element is probably the Beach House on the main deck: a fully glazed lounge that opens on three sides via three-metre sliding doors, flush with the outdoor deck and a teak-lined pool. Lürssen engineered and built the glass structure in-house.

Up forward there is a sports court that works for basketball, pickleball, yoga, pilates. The sundeck closes up into a skylounge, with jacuzzi, bar, fire pit and a table for 20. Two outdoor cinemas, a wellness area, a water sports zone kitted out for diving and fishing.

Peter Lürssen said: “Every yacht we build asks something new of us. Working with RWD on Odisea allowed us to push new boundaries in both engineering and arrangement. The result is a yacht designed entirely around modern life at sea.”

On the environmental side, Odisea carries the compact exhaust with a patented SCR system to cut NOx emissions, now standard across the modern Lürssen fleet. The owner’s build team was led by Dan Robsham of Mariner Technical Services. Robsham stated: “It was a pleasure to work with the Lürssen and RWD teams during the design and build of this yacht.”
