Lürssen Yacht on a sea trial: 90 meter mega yacht 1601 in the Kiel Canal and in the lock on her way to the Baltic Sea on March 17, 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is another cool ship that Lürssen Yachts built in their shipyard in Schacht-Audorf in the Kiel Canal. Here the 90 meter long and 14 meter wide superyacht Projekt 1601 lies a few hundred meters in front of the Holtenau canal lock and is waiting to enter the lock. After more than an hour of waiting near the pier of the Adler I canal ferry on the Holtenau side of the canal, the time had come and the yacht 1601 started moving in the direction of the lock chamber. A little later, the lock gate on the other side opened and a sea trial lasting several days in the Kiel Fjord, Kiel Bay and Baltic Sea could now begin for the luxury yacht.<\/p>\n

The yacht, named 1601, had left the Lürssen Yachts shipyard in Schacht-Audorf near Rendsburg a few hours earlier. The Lürssen shipyard has not yet provided any information about the client of the 90-metre-long mega yacht with a helipad on board. However, it is suspected that this yacht could possibly be the successor to the 70 meter long yacht “Skat” built by Lürssen almost 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

The mega yacht, previously known as Project 1601, started sea trials on the Baltic Sea on March 17, 2023. After a few days at sea, Project 1601 will probably return to the Lürssen shipyard in about a week. And then the Lürssen luxury yacht will again pass through the lock in Kiel-Holtenau on its way through the Kiel Canal.<\/p>\n

If everything goes according to plan during the multi-day test drive and everything works as it should, then the yacht 1601 will probably be handed over to the owner in spring 2023.<\/p>\n
