53 Crew
German yard Lurssen demonstrated their shipbuilding prowess by delivering both Luminance and Dragonfly just short of one years apart. They entered the Top 100 world's largest yachts in 11th and 13th place, respectively.
Luminance allows for up to 40 guests to sleep aboard with a crew of 24, while Dragonfly can have 24 guests with 53 crew members. Meaning Luminance can sleep over 15 more guests than Dragonfly, but she has 55% less crew to deal with service and operations. Guests on both yachts can arrive in style, as they each have two helipads. Luminance's biggest helipad, which is located on the upper deck aft, is fully certified for helicopters that are up to 10,000kg.

Length / Beam Ratio
Gross tonnage (GT) is a way to understand how much "stuff" a yacht can hold, like cabins, bathrooms, and other spaces. Luminance and Dragonfly share comparable values in both overall length and GT. Actually, their amount of usable volume is almost the same. The difference is more than 20 shipping containers of volume. So we've Introduced the YB100: YachtBuyer's revolutionary solution for ranking the world's largest yachts. In the YB100 standings, Luminance holds the 15th position owing to her GT, which places her four spots above her Top 100 standing determined by length. Turning to Dragonfly, nestled at the 17th spot within the YB100, she descends five ranks beneath her standing within the Top 100.
Luminance's range is 2,000 nm less than Dragonfly's, and she suffers approximately six days and 23 hours less cruising time*. Also, she's one knot speedier when cruising than Dragonfly; hence, if both were navigating from Miami, Florida to Ibiza, Spain, she'd arrive roughly 23 hours in advance.
