Unfathoming 150 Years of Lürssen Yachts: From Modest Beginnings to Building the World's Most Impressive Superyachts

The world of Lürssen is more than just a sea-faring tale. With a history spanning 150 years, the company has left its mark not just on the steel and wood of its majestic fleet, but also on the entire superyacht industry.

It all began with humble wooden rowboats, each carrying the touch of countless artisans whose craftsmanship has been handed down through the generations. Despite the transformations brought by two World Wars, the company resolutely glided towards its vision, and emerged as creators of some of the most breathtaking superyachts that rule the oceans today.

The numbers speak for themselves. Lürssen has delivered over 300,000 gross tons (GT) of luxury in the past 25 years, brought to life through a diverse fleet of 62 extraordinary superyachts. The scale at which the company operates is simply staggering. Putting that into perspective, it has created the equivalent of 200 x 30-metre Ferretti semi-custom yachts end to end or nearly 1,600 of the same 30-metre Ferretti’s in terms of GT volume. From marvelling at such a colossal project docked at the harbour to exploring the intricate interior passageways and stairwells onboard, the sheer scale of a Lürssen superyacht is enough to leave anyone awestruck.

The Lürssen legacy boats magnificent achievements in naval architecture and crafts. The gargantuan yachts synonymous with the Lürssen brand and family are a testament to the continuous strive for grandeur. Looking forward, it’s nothing less than thrilling to anticipate what lies ahead in Lürssen’s nautical narrative. As we continue to sail unfathomed waters of luxury, who knows what marvels of maritime architecture await on the horizon?
