Lürssen 78.4m Superyacht for Sale – 2008 / 2024 Refit – West Palm Beach, United States

Built by the prestigious German yard Lürssen and delivered in 2008, with a comprehensive refit completed in 2024, this 78.4-metre custom motor yacht remains one of the most recognisable vessels in the 75 to 80 metre category. Originally known under the project name “Bermuda,” she combines Espen Øino naval architecture and exterior styling with interior design by Alberto Pinto, resulting in a yacht of substantial presence, proven ocean-going capability, and highly refined accommodation. Constructed to Lloyd’s Register standards, she offers serious structural integrity and long-range operational confidence. Measuring 78.4 metres overall, with a 66.7-metre waterline, 13.5-metre beam, and 3.8-metre draft, she provides an enormous 2,334 GT of internal volume with displacement of approximately 1,978 tonnes across five teak-decked levels. Her steel hull is finished in a distinctive baby-blue tone, contrasted by a white aluminium superstructure, giving her a profile that is both elegant and immediately recognisable.

Exterior Configuration & Deck Highlights
Designed as a full-displacement yacht, she is intended for comfortable long-range cruising rather than compromised styling-first performance. Espen Øino’s exterior work is evident in the layered deck lines, broad glazing, and carefully integrated technical structures that maintain visual balance across a substantial superstructure. The bow area is unusually expansive, combining operational capability with relaxation features including a raised lounge and spa pool above the main-deck structure. A series of aft decks cascade down toward the stern where a large swim platform and shell doors create strong sea access and tender-handling functionality. The bridge deck incorporates a certified touch-and-go helipad capable of receiving an Airbus EC135 helicopter and includes refuelling capability, adding genuine operational range and guest-transfer flexibility. Above, the sundeck features a central pool surrounded by glass panels, sunpads, and seating designed for wide panoramic views, while recessed and sunken lounge areas throughout the yacht provide privacy as well as shelter. Overall, this is a yacht designed to perform operationally while still delivering an unmistakably luxurious open-air experience.

Propulsion, Range & Technical Capability
Power comes from twin Caterpillar 3516 DI TA SCAC diesel engines, each producing 2,717 horsepower at 1,600 rpm, for a combined output of 5,434 horsepower through a twin-screw propulsion system. This robust arrangement allows a maximum speed of approximately 17 knots, with a more relaxed cruising speed of around 12 knots that suits long-distance passage-making. With 246,000 litres of fuel capacity, she offers an impressive range of approximately 6,000 nautical miles, giving her true transoceanic capability. Freshwater capacity totals 38,200 litres, helping support extended guest and crew operations on longer itineraries. A Brunvoll 240kW bow thruster improves close-quarters maneuverability, while stabilizers both underway and at anchor reduce roll motion and improve onboard comfort. Machinery spaces have been arranged for safe access and efficient monitoring, and benefit from advanced sound insulation and vibration-damping materials to protect guest comfort. Supporting systems include generators, battery banks, power distribution, shore-power connections, freshwater and bilge systems, hot-water systems, grey- and black-water infrastructure, waste management, firefighting systems, emergency communications, and technical monitoring appropriate to a yacht of this scale.

Interior Volume & Guest Accommodation
Alberto Pinto’s interior concept makes full use of the yacht’s huge internal volume. Accommodation is arranged for up to twelve guests across eight cabins, including a full owner’s suite on the upper deck. This owner’s residence is especially noteworthy, offering panoramic windows, a king-size arrangement, dressing areas, two separate bathrooms, and direct access to a private terrace complete with spa pool and seating area overlooking the sea. This is a level of private-owner outdoor space not often found even in this size bracket. Guest accommodation includes five VIP suites along with additional double and twin cabins across the main and lower decks, each given its own palette and identity while preserving consistency of quality and finish. Materials include maple and zebrano veneers, fine stone, leather, and bespoke joinery, creating a luxurious but coherent atmosphere across the entire yacht.

Entertainment, Wellness & Interior Amenities
Large social spaces include a main salon with expansive glazing and flowing lounge and dining zones, while the bridge-deck skylounge functions as a major entertainment venue with lounge seating, dining arrangements, and curved glass doors that open directly to the aft deck. An elevator links principal guest decks, improving accessibility and day-to-day usability. The lower-deck wellness centre includes a gym with fold-down balcony, hammam, massage room, beauty salon, and additional spa-oriented facilities close to the waterline. Other onboard features include a movie theatre, deck Jacuzzi, swimming pool, sauna, integrated audio systems, video-on-demand, satellite television, and high-capacity air conditioning. The result is a vessel capable of supporting both long-term private cruising and premium charter-style hospitality at a very high standard.

Crew, Tenders & Operational Flexibility
Crew accommodation supports up to twenty-five crew across twelve cabins plus a dedicated captain’s cabin near the bridge, allowing for highly professional operations and high service standards. The yacht carries several tenders including a custom McMullen & Wing tender, a 10-metre Cougar RIB, and a 7-metre Zodiac jet tender, while dedicated storage areas also support diving equipment and a fully developed diving centre. Navigation electronics include radar, GPS, AIS, autopilot, electronic chart plotters, satellite communications, and onboard Wi-Fi. Registered under the Cayman Islands flag and built to Lloyd’s Register classification standards, she is suitable for serious international use and highly credible for either private or charter deployment depending on the buyer’s objectives. Professional inspections, marine surveys, sea trials, escrow procedures, and delivery coordination are all naturally part of the expected brokerage process for a yacht of this standing.

Ownership Opportunity
Following her 2024 refit, this Lürssen remains a formidable large-volume superyacht with the pedigree, capacity, and engineering depth to satisfy a highly demanding owner. She offers helicopter capability, exceptional internal space, a strong wellness program, world-cruising range, and one of the most recognisable design signatures in her category. For buyers seeking a proven flagship-level yacht with enduring appeal, she deserves immediate and serious attention.
