1. Lightning – 140m Lürssen
Topping the list at 140 meters in length and 23.28-metre beam, what was initially dubbed by Lürssen as Project Lightning is not just the largest launch of 2019, but also among the top 20 largest superyachts in the world. In spite of having embarked on her sea trials this fall and currently undergoing preparations for her delivery in early 2020, most details regarding Lighting are still shrouded in secrecy.
