In short

Al Lusail is a 123-metre motor yacht that Lürssen built under the project name Jupiter: her keel was laid in September 2014, she was launched in Bremen in October 2016 and was handed over in August 2017 (YachtBuyer, Boat International). H2 Yacht Design drew her curved exterior with large glass façades, its first design for Lürssen, and March & White designed the interiors, its debut in superyachts (Boat International, Boat International). With 8,489 gross tonnage she sleeps 36 guests in 18 suites with 56 crew and has a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 12 knots (Boat International, YachtCharterFleet). She flies the flag of Qatar, is not believed to be available for charter, and returned to service in June 2026 after a seven-month refit at Lürssen (YachtBuyer, YachtCharterFleet, YachtBuyer).
