Lurssen Yachts

Lürssen is one of the world’s leading builders of custom luxury superyachts, and has launched many of the largest yachts in the global fleet. This family-run yacht manufacturer is based in Germany, with headquarters in Bremen-Vegesack and five further yards in northern Germany.

History

Friedrich Lürssen started the company in 1875 and built the very first motor boat, REMS, with Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach.

Nearly a century later, Lürssen launched the 71-meter superyacht Carinthia VI, designed by Jon Bannenberg, setting new standards for contemporary luxury yacht styling.

Along the way, Lürssen has acquired key shipyard facilities, allowing it to continue to expand the size and volume of its world-girdling yachts.
