The 146-metre superyacht Opera has been delivered after leaving Lürssen's Bremen site in northern Germany. The tenth-largest privately owned yacht in the world undertook her maiden voyage to Portsmouth Harbour in the UK where she arrived yesterday (5 March).

After paying a visit to Portsmouth, she is expected to continue onwards to a home berth in the Mediterranean or Middle East.

While details are sparse, pictures show a pair of helipads on the foredeck and upper deck aft and two swimming pools on the sun deck and main deck, the latter of which has a rise-and-fall floor.

Opera is thought to be a rebuild project of 145-metre Project Sassi, which was destroyed in the 2018 shipyard fire.



The yacht OPERA is one of the world’s largest superyachts. She was built at Lurssen yachts.

The Opera yacht is designed by Terence Disdale. He is also responsible for her interior.

There is no confirmed data available. But the yacht is supposed to accommodate 48 guests in 24 staterooms. And she has a crew and staff of 80 in 40 cabins (estimate).

We believe the yacht is based on Project SASSY, which was destroyed in a fire in 2018. It may be the same hull.
