M/Y DEEP BLUE 134m Super Yacht by Lürssen Yachts 🇩🇪

M/Y Deep Blue 134.2m Lürssen Superyacht 2026 (ex. Alnanha, ex. Project Deep Blue) – Official Name Painted on Nameplate 🇩🇪

The majestic M/Y Deep Blue, a 134.2-metre Lürssen superyacht delivered in April 2026, has officially emerged as one of the most spectacular new builds of the year. Deep Blue is the permanent official name now painted on the yacht’s nameplate, transom and hull. While she was temporarily known as Alnanha during final construction and launch phases, the owner changed it back to the original Project Deep Blue name, which is now physically displayed on the vessel.

The 134.2m Lürssen superyacht Deep Blue is currently en route from Poole, UK, and is expected to arrive in Gibraltar on 17 April 2026 before continuing into the Mediterranean.

🛠️ Construction of the Deep Blue yacht began in 2021 under a shroud of secrecy at Lürssen’s Vegesack shipyard in Bremen, Germany. By July 2023 her hull had been launched and assembled on a floating dock, with the bow section later joined to complete her impressive profile.

⚙️ Naval Design & Architecture Deep Blue features world-class naval design and naval architecture developed entirely by Lürssen Yachts’ renowned in-house team. Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, her advanced naval design guarantees outstanding stability, seakeeping and efficiency. With an estimated gross tonnage of 9,000 GT, the Deep Blue superyacht offers four expansive decks and a striking five-deck profile. Her stern features twin grand staircases from the swim platform, promising elegant guest access.

🌅 The yacht’s sheer exterior lines — a hallmark of Lürssen design — flow gracefully from bow to stern. Her hull and superstructure are lined with sweeping glazed surfaces that maximise natural light and deliver panoramic views throughout.

🚀 In terms of power, Deep Blue is fitted with eight mighty MTU/Caterpillar engines, delivering a top speed of 20 knots, a comfortable cruising speed of 14 knots and a transoceanic range exceeding 4,500 nautical miles.
