The details of the 115.1-metre Lürssen superyacht Ahpo have remained under wraps since her launch in June 2021. Now the interior and exterior has been unveiled in full glory as the vessel enters the charter market for the first time with Moran Yacht and Ship.Photo: Guillaume PlissonDesigned internally and externally by Nuvolari Lenard, with naval architecture by her builder Lürssen Yachts, the vessel features an elongated and sinuous exterior design.
