German shipbuilder Lürssen has delivered the 78.20-metre superyacht ODISEA, which departed Germany on 13 March 2026 to begin her maiden voyage. Built under the project name ACE 21, the yacht combines contemporary design with lifestyle-focused amenities and long-range cruising capability.
Since the turn of the millennium, Lürssen has delivered more than 20 yachts measuring under 80 metres, representing roughly a third of the shipyard’s builds during that period. ODISEA also marks the first collaboration between the German builder and British design studio RWD, which is responsible for both the yacht’s exterior and interior design.
According to RWD, the partnership with Lürssen was shaped by a shared ambition for excellence and the client’s vision for modern life at sea. The design studio describes the result as a yacht defined by quiet confidence, thoughtful design and elegant liveability.
The yacht’s exterior profile reflects a sense of quiet strength. A vertical bow and purposeful lines create a balanced silhouette, while expansive glazing reduces traditional architectural boundaries and allows natural light to flow throughout the interior spaces. These large glass surfaces also extend sightlines outward to the horizon, reinforcing the connection between interior living areas and the surrounding seascape.
One of ODISEA’s most distinctive features is the Beach House, a glass-encased lounge positioned on the main deck. The space opens on three sides through three-metre sliding doors, connecting directly to the outdoor deck and its teak-lined pool. Engineered and constructed in-house, the Beach House highlights Lürssen’s capability to develop and realise large and technically complex glass structures.
The yacht also incorporates a range of lifestyle amenities designed for both recreation and relaxation. A foredeck sports court can be adapted for basketball, pickleball, yoga or pilates, while the sundeck transforms from an open-air retreat into an enclosed skylounge equipped with a Jacuzzi, bar, fire pit and dining area for up to 20 guests.
Further onboard features include dual outdoor cinemas, a wellness retreat and a dedicated water sports area with facilities for diving and fishing.
According to RWD, the interior design follows a warm and understated approach, with natural tones, soft woods and pale marble creating a welcoming atmosphere intended to evoke a refined home at sea. Organic textures and curated artworks introduce depth, while layered finishes add subtle visual character throughout the yacht’s living spaces.
“Every yacht we build asks something new of us,” said Peter Lürssen. “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. She is a proud addition to our fleet.”
Like all modern Lürssen yachts, ODISEA is equipped with a compact exhaust system featuring a patented SCR technology designed to significantly reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
The owner’s build team was led by Dan Robsham of Mariner Technical Services, who collaborated with both the Lürssen and RWD teams during the design and construction of the yacht.
