Lürssen

Based in Germany, Lürssen is one of the world's leading shipyards for large luxury yacht building, with a focus on excellence in custom-built superyachts. Custom-building a modern luxury motor yacht is a process of milestones or, more aptly, a voyage of many discoveries. Each step is an exhilarating achievement, a source of great joy for the owner and professional pride for Lürssen’s engineers and technicians.

A family owned shipyard for four generations, they can claim the accolade of building the world’s first motor yacht in 1886. Responsible for building more than 13,000 vessels, Lürssen currently has five shipyard facilities in Northern Germany, with each specialising in a specific size of yacht ranging from 60m to 220m in length.

Trading as Lürssen Yachts, it is one of the leading builders of custom superyachts such as Paul Allen's Octopus, David Geffen's Rising Sun, and Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan's Azzam, the second largest private yacht in the world at 180 m in length after the REV Ocean.
