Lürssen reached an important milestone in the Ziggy project on 7 May 2026. The completed steel structure slipped over the Helgen into Lake Audorf. Now the expansion phase begins for the 101 metres. The British design studio Harrison Eidsgaard is responsible for the overall design. The collaboration between the shipyard and the studio has already proven itself in previous projects.
For "Ziggy", Eidsgaard developed a consistent design language of glass and steel. The architecture appears powerful and dynamic at the same time. Striking angles characterise the outer skin, interrupted by large areas of glazing. These are among the largest structural glass elements that Lürssen has ever installed.
Concept for long-term stays
The spacious foredeck is certified for helicopter operations. The aft sloping decks offer space for several pools and wellness areas. "Ziggy" is designed as a high-volume yacht for longer stays on board. The layout and extensive facilities allow for seven-star service over extended periods.
The North American client was referred to Lürssen by Thom Conboy & Associates. WMG is responsible for construction supervision as the owner's representative.
Delivery: 2028
Lürssen is also responsible for the construction of the 101 metres. The shipyard, based in Bremen-Vegesack, is one of the leading addresses for superyachts, has been building ships for over 145 years and specialises in customised large formats. The company has several sites in northern Germany and employs around 2,500 people. In addition to yacht building, Lürssen is also active in naval shipbuilding. 150 years, one Portrait.
Now that the steel work has been completed, the shipyard is focussing on the interior work and the installation of the technical systems. The handover to the owner is planned for 2028.
