A family-owned business to this day, Lürssen is headquartered in Bremen-Vegesack and has additional facilities across northern Germany. Known to build some of the world’s most luxurious, largest and technically advanced yachts, the shipyard’s journey first began with Friedrich Lürssen’s vision to build innovative boats. Credited with building the world’s first-ever motorboat in 1886, the 6-metre REMS constructed for inventor and engine manufacturer Gottlieb Daimler was powered by a Daimler engine. Over the decades, Lürssen has maintained its pioneering spirit, continuously pushing the boundaries of yacht design and technology. The shipyard’s evolution from constructing small wooden racing boats to constructing monumental yachts has solidified its status as one of the leaders in the yachting industry. Some of the characteristics that distinguish Lürssen are its commitment to bespoke craftsmanship, technical innovation, and environmental sustainability.

The shipyard’s offerings are characterised by their exceptional quality, luxurious detailing, and cutting-edge eco-friendly technologies, such as onboard desalination systems powered by waste engine heat and advanced emissions-reducing silencers. Lürssen’s current global fleet includes iconic yachts like the world’s current biggest yacht, the 180.6-metre Azzam, the 126-metre Octopus and the 156-metre Dilbar, which showcase the yard’s capability to deliver complex and grandiose superyachts that meet the unique demands of its unique clientele. Each project at Lürssen is a reflection of the shipyard’s rich heritage, relentless innovation, and dedication to exceeding the expectations of the world’s most discerning yacht owners.
