From the biggest and boldest yachts under construction to record breaking builds, this list rounds up the industry's standout in-build superyachts due for completion in 2021. 

The 142 metre  Lürssen superyacht Nord is to become the 10th largest yacht in the world following her delivery in early 2021. Designed by Italian studio Nuvolari Lenard, the six decked yacht boasts a number of high-end features, including a sports and diving centre on the lower deck, swimming pool, two superyacht helipads and a fleet of accompanying tenders.

Currently being completed at Feadship’s Amsterdam facility, the secretive 88.38 metre Project 816 will feature a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, four decks and a beam of 13.5 metres. Little else is currently known about this superyacht which will emerge from the shed next year.

Due for completion in 2021, Project Y719 is both the largest yacht currently under construction in the Netherlands and will be the largest yacht ever built by the Dutch yard when complete.

Glimpsed for the first time only earlier this year, Lürssen’s in-build 90 metre Project 1601 features exterior design penned by the legendary Espen Øino.
