Mine’s the biggest: Will the world’s largest superyacht make other superyacht owners feel inadequate?
Famous naval designer and architect Espen Øino has revealed fresh design renderings of the 282-metre vessel which is billed as the “world’s largest private superyacht” and “the next generation of luxury superyachts”.
Called the Njord after the god of the seas and winds of Norse mythology, the luxury superyacht will double as a research vessel and will be equipped to undertake scientific and oceanographic missions.

The Njord only exists as a design project and a concept at this stage; the designer believes a 2024 delivery date could be possible and is looking for a shipyard to undertake the project.
The massive luxury vessel features 12 decks and 118 private residences, which will be available for sale. Each of these residential units can be customised to 20 different configurations and will feature a living room with sea views and access to open terraces.
Buyers will get to choose from a range of two to six-bedroom apartments spread across 116 to 800 square metres. The vessel will have room for 16 guest and butler suites.
Sustainable superyachts? Benetti plans on having them soon
Amenities on offer for guests will include an inflatable marina with fold-out platforms at the stern, a central seawater swimming pool, two other outdoor pools, an indoor hydro pool, wellness facilities, a nightclub and a jazz lounge.
The superyacht will come with underwater drones, submersibles and two Airbus ACH 160 helicopters with a range of 400 nautical miles. Let’s hope the project sees the light of day and revolutionises the industry.
