Lürssen is a German shipyard renowned for building some of the largest and most technically advanced superyachts in the world. Founded in 1875 by Friedrich Lürssen in Aumund, near Bremen, the company remains family-owned — now led by the fourth generation — and operates shipyards across northern Germany, including Lemwerder, Rendsburg, Wilhelmshaven, Hamburg and Wolgast.
Lürssen's legacy extends far beyond yachting. In 1886 the yard built the world's first motorboat — the six-metre Rems, commissioned by Gottlieb Daimler to test his engine — and it continues to build naval vessels alongside its megayachts. A dedicated yacht division was established in 1988, and Lürssen quickly became the yard of choice for the world's most ambitious yacht projects.
The yard's portfolio includes some of the most famous superyachts ever built: the 180.65-metre Azzam, the world's longest yacht; the 156-metre Dilbar, the largest motor yacht by gross tonnage; and Flying Fox, now cruising as Hadar, among many others. Lürssen yachts are characterised by extraordinary engineering and the ability to deliver genuinely bespoke vessels at every scale, from large yachts to gigayachts.
For the world's wealthiest individuals, a Lürssen represents the ultimate private vessel. The yard's discretion, technical prowess and proven ability to manage projects of extraordinary scale make it the natural choice for owners whose ambitions demand a builder without limits.
