German shipyard Lürssen is best known for its exceptional customer superyachts measuring 70 metres and up. First introduced in the early 2000s, each yacht designed and launched is unique.
Measuring 70 metres in length and up, many of these displacement superyachts were designed in collaboration with leading studios such as Espen Øino for the exterior and François Zuretti for interiors. Featuring steel hulls and aluminium superstructures, Lürssen’s 70-metre plus superyachts offer excellent structural strength and proven seakeeping across up to six decks. Exterior styling reflects Øino’s signature approach, with clean lines, balanced large proportions, and timeless detailing. Interior designs tend to follow Zuretti’s classic, layered aesthetic, combining fine woods, stone, glass, and bespoke finishes to create warm, sophisticated living environments. Interior volumes of approximately 2,000 GT see these superyachts offer expansive social and private spaces, including large owner’s suites, typically full-beam staterooms forward on the main deck or upper deck, and often including private lounges, offices, private terraces, private spas, and dual bathrooms. Guest areas are equally well considered, with beach clubs at sea level, generous swim platforms, and discreet tender storage to preserve clean deck layouts. Upper decks are commonly dedicated to wellness and relaxation, featuring gyms, treatment rooms, and spa facilities, while sun decks accommodate pools, jacuzzis, and flexible open-air entertaining spaces. Accommodation across Lürssen custom superyachts 70m and up usually spans six ensuite staterooms for up to 12 guests, supported by a professional crew of around 17 to 20. Powered by twin diesel engines, most Lürssen custom superyachts 70m offer top speeds of approximately 16 knots, average cruising speeds of 12-14 knots, and a transoceanic range exceeding 4,000 nautical miles.
