PROJECT LYCKA: SUSTAINABLE AND LUXURIOUS SUPERYACHT

Project Lycka is a 77-metre (252-foot) concept superyacht unveiled by Nobiskrug Shipyard and Tillberg Design of Sweden at the 2022 Palm Beach Boat Show, setting a new benchmark for sustainable luxury yachts. Built with hybrid or diesel propulsion options, Lycka accommodates 14 guests in six en suite cabins on the lower deck and a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck, blending environmental responsibility with uncompromising comfort.

What Makes Project Lycka Stand Out as a Sustainable Superyacht?

Lycka's design philosophy prioritizes longevity and future-proofing, ensuring compliance with evolving environmental regulations without sacrificing elegance. The collaboration between Nobiskrug's technical expertise and Tillberg of Sweden's interior mastery produces a vessel that feels as purposeful as it is beautiful. Every design decision, from hull lines to interior layout, responds to both practical seamanship and the demands of eco-conscious ownership.

Sustainability is woven into the yacht's DNA. The hybrid propulsion system reduces fuel consumption and emissions during low-speed maneuvering, while the entire platform is engineered to meet future regulatory standards. Nobiskrug, the Kiel-based shipyard with a long history of building expedition and explorer yachts, brings the same standard of build quality to Lycka that has made it one of Europe's most respected superyacht builders.

Luxury Amenities and Interior Layout

The amenities aboard Lycka read like a floating resort. A gym-spa hybrid occupies a dedicated wellness zone, while a large sundeck jacuzzi and twin unfolding sea terraces extend the living space outward toward the horizon. A helicopter pad integrated above the forward garage on the main deck is both functional and architecturally striking: the garage itself sits cleverly below the elevated bridge deck, keeping the exterior lines clean.

Tillberg Design's interiors favour flowing forms and natural materials, creating a sense of calm continuity from bow to stern. The full-beam owner's cabin on the main deck benefits from panoramic views on both sides, a feature that elevates the yacht's ownership experience well beyond typical superyacht conventions. Tillberg Design of Sweden has decades of experience designing cruise ships and superyachts with this calibre of spatial intelligence.

Technical Specifications and Performance

At 77 metres, Lycka sits in a segment of the superyacht market where build quality and engineering depth are paramount. The forward garage provides tender and toy storage without compromising the main deck flow, a solution that demonstrates the level of integration Nobiskrug and Tillberg achieved from the earliest design stages. The vessel's optimized hull form improves fuel efficiency across sea states, further reinforcing Lycka's sustainability credentials.

For a completely different dimension of exploration, the Super Yacht Sub 3 by U-Boat Worx offers a personal submarine designed to operate from superyachts like Lycka, taking owners beneath the surface for a perspective no deck can provide. On the water's surface, the SAY29 Runabout Yacht and the SAY45 RIB Speedster Carbon represent the pinnacle of high-performance day-boating, ideal as tenders for a vessel of Lycka's class.
