    A new large superyacht from German custom superyacht builder Lurssen has been seen. She is called Project 'Defy' and is estimated to be 146.2-meters with an internal volume above 10,000 GT. She looks very similar to the "Alaiya" and as per usual details are not available. We get a glimpse here compliments Drduu.

    I bet we see this monster at it's owner's new marina in Miami.

    You really think it belongs to him?

    Quite likely, since his jet was in Bremen yesterday.

    I can also see a lot of Viva’s design DNA carried over — particularly in the superstructure. The glass surfaces, overhangs, and railings all have a very similar feel.

    I believe she has gone into the floating dry dock today.

    Video of her floating-in to the floating dry dock for finishing.

    Hmmm well when I search "Viva"...she comes up as Viva..but search "Defy", that returns the same yacht....guess it hasn't updated as yet.
