What makes Project Cosmos’s design by Marc Newson stand out in the world of luxury yachts?

Project Cosmos stands out for its visionary styling by Marc Newson, who masterfully blends futuristic elegance with functional innovation. Its exterior features sleek flowing lines, expansive black glazing, and a striking rounded glass observation pod at the bow. The design also includes a helipad on the foredeck, a swimming pool on the aft deck, and a distinctive cut-out section that accommodates a large tender or other watercraft — all combining to create a seamless balance of beauty and utility.

How does Project Cosmos achieve its impressive scale and durability?

Project Cosmos achieves its remarkable scale and strength through a robust steel hull and superstructure, spanning 18 metres across the beam and offering about 6,300 GT of interior volume. This vast size enables expansive open decks, luxurious interior spaces, and advanced amenities — all crafted with Lürssen’s renowned attention to detail. The yacht’s sleek, uncluttered design pairs elegance with the structural resilience required for long-range ocean voyages.

What innovative technology powers Project Cosmos for eco-friendly performance?

Project Cosmos is powered by a groundbreaking methanol-based fuel-cell system, marking a major leap in sustainable superyacht engineering. This revolutionary setup allows the yacht to operate emission-free while at anchor for up to 15 days or cruise quietly for about 1,000 nautical miles. The system uses advanced fuel-cell stacks made of bipolar plates and membrane electrode assemblies, supported by a maritime-grade methanol supply and ventilation system — ensuring high efficiency, low maintenance, and truly green performance.

How does Project Cosmos combine luxury with environmental sustainability?

Project Cosmos embodies sustainable luxury by integrating advanced fuel-cell technology that drastically reduces its carbon footprint without compromising comfort or performance. This innovation allows the yacht to anchor in pristine locations without producing harmful emissions, offering owners the rare opportunity to enjoy ultimate opulence while preserving the natural beauty of the seas they explore.

What was the journey of Project Cosmos from concept to completion?

Project Cosmos began its journey from concept to reality with its first reveal in March 2023, marking the start of an extensive outfitting process at Lürssen’s renowned Kiel and Rendsburg facilities. Every stage of its construction showcased meticulous precision, innovation, and world-class craftsmanship. Now fully launched, Project Cosmos stands as a testament to engineering excellence — setting new benchmarks for sustainability and luxury in modern superyacht design.
