Dilbar: 7 Facts

156m dilbar superyacht

You’ve probably all heard of the yacht “Dilbar”. She is, after all, the world’s biggest yacht! Dilbar was built by Lurssen in Bremen, Germany. A feat of engineering, she is absolutely unbelievable. Just check out these stats.

Dilbar

1. Dilbar has a displacement tonnage of 1230: equal to around 186 Elephants .

Your average African Bush Elephant weighs just over 6000kg. There are (more or less) 907 kg in one US ton.

So, if we know that an elephant weighs 6.62 tons, we can also conclude that Dilbar is truly as heavy as a whole load of Elephants.

2. She has a colossal amount of cabling onboard…

…1,100 km worth to be exact; which is longer than the drive from the very North to the southern-most point of France (a mere 962km). For a yacht 156m long and 23m wide, that’s seriously impressive. Ooh-la-la! ??

3. Owner & Guest living space onboard is spread over 3,800 square metres, or 104 London apartments .

According to the Guardian newspaper, the average London flat covers 46 square metres- meaning Dilbar is much, much larger than your flat (and your friend’s flats, and their parents flats, and their neighbors flats, all rolled into one).????

4. Lurssen says that the 156m Dilbar only took 52 months to build.

To put this into perspective, it took around 100,000 slaves over 20 years to build the Great Pyramid : a stone structure of average height with no diesel engines or advanced audio-visual system.

5. Reportedly, you could actually fit the owner’s previous boat ONA inside Dilbar with space to spare.

This one doesn’t need much more explaining. The owner is Russian though, so it could be that he’s playing some sort of yacht-version of matryoshka dolls… ??

6. There’s a 25m swimming pool onboard, which is the largest superyacht pool in existence.

Dilbar has a beam (width) of 23m and a draft (depth below the water) of 6m, so this pool is relatively massive! Our sources tell us that the pool is around 6m across and around 2m deep, falling to 1m at the shallow end. Therefore we can perform a variable depth calculation to find the volume- which results in an estimated requirement of 225,000 liters of water to fill the Dilbar swimming pool.

Now, a typical Shell or BP Oil Truck can hold 11,000L (see where I’m going here…?). You would need 21 Oil Trucks filled with water just to fill the Dilbar swimming pool.

What’s even more incredible is that, due to the pesky free-surface effect, this pool probably has to be drained every time the boat is moved in order to maintain stability. The watermakers onboard would have to work at an incredible speed and efficiency to get this filled in time for the owner to take a dip once the anchor is dropped!

7. You definitely wouldn’t know all of your colleagues for quite some time if you were new onboard Dilbar…

The average human (never mind a hardworking yacht crew member) consumes 2kg of food a day. This means that the Dilbar chefs cook a whopping 73,000 kg worth of crew meals a year to keep their hungry colleagues’ ship shape and ready for work.

Mind-blowing.

156m dilbar superyacht

Motor Yacht

Originally known as "Project Omar", the 156 metre superyacht Dilbar was launched in 2016 after over 4 years of construction.

According to her German builder Lurssen's description, Dilbar is one of the most complex and challenging yachts ever built, in terms of both dimensions and technology.

At 15,917 tons, the 156-meter superyacht features entertainment and recreation spaces never before seen on a yacht. These include a 25-meter swimming pool that holds an incredible 180 m³ of water, the largest pool ever to have been installed on a yacht. 

The exterior design, a classic profile with a light ivory hull and bronze accents, was developed by Espen Øino International. Her spectacular interior, created by the Winch Design team, uses rare and exclusive luxury materials.

Lürssen confirms the delivery of 156m Dilbar

Image for article Lürssen confirms the delivery of 156m Dilbar

On 14 May, Lürssen saw the back of M/Y Dilbar, the world’s largest superyacht by gross tonnage. According to the shipyard, the 157m superyacht was ‘one of the most complex and challenging yachts’ they have ever built in terms of dimension and technology.

At 15,917gt, Dilbar provides interior spaces, the size of which have never been seen on a superyacht before. In 2013, Lurssen delivered the largest yacht in the fleet by length, 180m Azzam , and yet her volume is a staggering 2781gt lower than Dilbar . Furthermore, the 30,000kw diesel electric power plant aboard Dilbar is also the largest of its kind installed on any yacht, enabling her to operate and a continuous speed of 22.5 knots.

“Building Dilbar was a great challenge and we are proud of this achievement, especially considering the contract time of only 52 months,” commented Peter Lürssen, Lürssen’s managing partner. “She truly represents another exceptional milestone in not only our history, but in yachting history as well”.

Under the clear guidance and leadership of the owner, the general arrangement and exterior design was developed by world renowned superyacht designer Espen Oeino, who has given Dilbar a timeless classical profile, which is underlined by the light ivory colour of the hull and the bronze accents, similar to to the colour scheme of the original 110m Dilbar , now known as Ona .

“We here at Espen Oeino International, feel honoured and privileged to have been part of this incredible voyage,” stated Oeino. “The close cooperation with all parties involved was the catalyst for making the yacht as magnificent as she is”.

Dilbar’s interior design was created at the Winch Design studio in London, incorporating unique mixes of rare and striking materials, giving her an extraordinary look and feel.

Andrew Winch said, “ Dilbar has been a big part of my life. She is truly special, culturally unique and incredibly detailed in so many ways. We are sure that her owners will enjoy every space on board.”

DILBAR // Lürssen // Espen Øino

Lürssen yachts built the best motor yacht of the year 2016 - dilbar.

DILBAR (also known as Project OMAR), the biggest yacht by volume received the award “Motor Yacht of the Year” and in the category “Displacement Motoryacht 3,000 GT and Above” in Florence. The longest yacht is Azzam with 180m.

“One of the most complex and challenging yachts to be built,” the judges described her “as the most spectacular yacht they had ever seen and a clear winner for this prestigious award.”

The yacht has two helipads. One is on the bow, the other one aft on the top deck and is the home of an Airbus 175 – one of the largest VIP helicopters in the world – custom designed by Pegasus Design.

The diesel-electric propulsion with six Wärtsilä generators delivers a power of 30,000 kW (40,320 HP) to power DILBAR up to a top speed of 22.5 knots. Lürssen construed her with a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure.

This vessel is the successor of the previous DILBAR that is now known as RAYA (ex ONA). The home of the sand-colored yacht is the superyacht port in Barcelona.

Interior of DILBAR

There are no public interior pictures to respect the owner’s privacy, but a few data is available. The Winch-designed interior offers a space of 3,800 square meters for the owner and his guests. There are 20 cabins to welcome 36 guests . Up to 96 crew members can find place onboard. Moreover, the yacht features a 25m swimming pool with a water capacity of 180,000 liters .

Making Superyacht DILBAR: The World’s Largest Yacht

  • Share this on Facebook
  • Share this on X

By Rebecca Bradbury   23 June 2016

A new time-lapse video of the 156m/512ft superyacht DILBAR , confirmed as the world’s largest yacht in terms of volume, has been released to celebrate her recent delivery to the Mediterranean .  

The spectacular footage provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse of DILBAR under construction at the Lurssen shipyard as well as aerial shots of her 2,000nm delivery passage to the Mediterranean .

DILBAR is now the world’s largest yacht with a gross tonnage of 15,917 tons, surpassing superyacht ‘Al Said’, a fellow build from the shipyard measuring in at 15,850 tons.  

Indeed, as she takes shape, viewers can see her sheer scale as well as the huge amount of labor involved in her 52-month build as welders and other craftsmen get to work on her hull and superstructure.

Lurssen also revealed that the motor yacht was ‘one of the most complex and challenging yachts that has ever been built, both in terms of dimension and technology'. 

The video unveils the curved and fluid lines which make up DILBAR's timeless profile

As luxury yacht DILBAR gets underway and smoothly cuts through the water, the video unveils the curved and fluid lines which make up her timeless profile as well as her expansive foredeck and sundeck aft, both home to helipads.

She is also said to ‘provide spaces in the interior which have never been seen on a yacht before’. But the superyacht world is left guessing what these could be as the Andrew Winch-styled interior remains a heavily guarded secret.

In terms of length, M/Y DILBAR is the fourth largest yacht in the world.

Video: Lürssen 156m superyacht Dilbar delivered to owner

Lürssen  has released a timelapse video of 156 metre yacht Dilbar , previously known as Project Omar, to celebrate her delivery to the Mediterranean earlier this month.

The footage includes craftsmen working on the hull and superstructure prior to launch and aerial footage of the record-breaking yacht on her delivery trip.

Dilbar was the largest superyacht launch of 2015 and is the fourth largest yacht in the world  by length. Lürssen also confirmed that she is the largest by gross tonnage, with a total interior volume of 15,917 gross tonnes.

Lürssen also claims two other record-breaking features — Dilbar 's 180 cubic metre swimming pool is believed to be the largest on any yacht, while her 30,000kw diesel electric power plant is also thought to be a record for a superyacht and gives her a cruising speed of 22.5 knots.

The near 2,000nm delivery voyage comes more than two months after Dilbar’s sea trials began off Bremen. Previous videos had shown her leaving the Bremen facility on May 14 with her new name visible on the transom and superstructure.

We revealed that a 156 metre superyacht was under construction in the 2015  Global Order Book , but the project is so secretive it wasn't entered under Lürssen’s list of new yachts in build — her entry was under a more covert “custom” billing.

Project Omar was reportedly ordered by Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, who also owns the 110 metre Lürssen superyacht Dilbar , which has now been renamed Ona .

Few interior details are known, but her construction materials of a steel hull and aluminium superstructure can be confirmed. It is understood that her exterior design is by  Espen Øino with interiors by Andrew Winch .

While this project is notably large, it isn’t, of course, the world’s largest yacht — or even the largest Lürssen. Those titles go equally to the 180 metre superyacht Azzam , the world’s largest private yacht.  

Last year Lürssen launched the 125 metre Golden Odyssey , and included in its impressive order book is a 120 metre project due for delivery in 2017.
