About Lurssen
Friedrich Lurssen started the company in 1875 at the age of 24. He initially wanted to join his father's boatyard but his father encouraged Friedrich to set up on his own as it would be challenging for one company to feed two families.
Within 11 years he built the very first motor boat, Rems, with Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1886. Named after a tributary of the river Neckar in Germany, the boat was powered by an 1,5 PS gasoline engine.
Otto Lurssen, the son of Friedrich Lurssen, evolved the Lurssen Werft further to an innovative manufacturer of racing boats like the Daimler II (reached a top speed of 35 knots on the Weser), Maybach-Donnerwetter (35 knots) or the Saurer-Lurssen from 1911 that reached a maximum speed of 32 knots. The Saurer-Lurssen won the "Grand Prix de Monte Carlo" off the coast of Monaco.
Friedrich Lurssen (who manages the yard in the 4th generation together with Peter Lurssen) says: "The history of the shipyard is still closely linked to our own family history and that of many of our staff. The family and staff's genuine identification with the shipyard business and an informal company structure with tight employee loyalty have always been supporting pillars of our success. In addition to technical expertise and practical skills, high levels of flexibility and strength of innovation among our workforce have been the decisive drivers of growth in our shipyard business as a specialty supplier of high-technology ship construction since the beginning."
Gert and Fritz-Otto, the third generation of Lurssen family members, became involved in the late 1930s and remained in place after the war years. That period saw the shipyard continue producing powerboats for private clients and the German navy alike. The naval craft included patrol boats, anti-mine vessels, frigates, and corvettes. They remain important contracts for Lurssen.
Many people think of megayachts as thoroughly modern marvels, but the 55m Pegasus II (now Platinum), for example, was delivered in 1962. This side of business has grown tremendously under the guidance of Friedrich and Peter Lurssen, who took over in the late 1980's. Presently 25 of the 100 largest yachts were built by Lurssen. Azzam, the third year running largest yacht of the world, was also constructed by the shipyard. She took over Abramovich's Eclipse in 2013. Lurssen is also responsible for the year's most secretive and largest vessel-the 156m Project Omar, reportedly built for the Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov. As for the other megayachts, their names are well-known: Al Said, Topaz, Al Salamah, Rising Sun, Octopus, Golden Odyssey (formerly known as project Tatiana), Katara...
According to a source close to the story, an 88m project at Lurssen would cost close to 130 million euro depending on interior design. Quatroelle was reportedly sold to a new owner under a year after its delivery at a profit which shows just how popular and desired the Lurssen Yachts have become.
As much as the yachts gain fame for their LOAs, it's important to focus on the people who have made them possible. Lurssen employs more than 1,000 people just at its Bremen facility. Over the years with their help, Lurssen has launched more than 13,000 yachts and ships.
Peter Lurssen, CEO of Lurssen Yachts, said: "As a family company it makes us proud and happy to be able to look back, in a turbulent industry, on 140 years of successful shipbuilding history on the River Weser. At the same time, our company anniversary motivates us as a family business to continue manufacturing unique ships for the global market together with our employees and to successfully live up to our great-grandfather's motto to impress through performance and quality."

The Dutch design studio Vripack has established itself as a leader in reshaping yacht design, crafting everything from global exploration vessels to sustainable sailing yachts and innovative sportfishers. When Oceanco, the renowned Dutch shipyard known for iconic projects like Black Pearl and H3, approached Vripack for its second next-generation Beyond Custom yacht, the collaboration promised to blend creativity and functionality seamlessly.The result is Lily, a stunning 101-meter catamaran that is as much a multi-dimensional work of art as it is a yacht. With its asymmetrical, split-level architecture, Lily optimizes sight lines, airflow, and the overall experience for its owners and guests. This design doesn’t just challenge conventional boundaries; it razes them entirely.“The fundamental requirement from Oceanco was to create a yacht for change-makers who wish to leave a lasting legacy,” explains Marnix Hoekstra, co-creative director of Vripack. “Lily perfectly encapsulates the balance between visionary design and practical buildability, which is the essence of the Beyond Custom series.”Inspired by the water lily – symbolizing purity, resurrection, and enlightenment –Lily's exterior features curved, cocoon-like wraparounds. The innovative bow layout includes a unique starboard walkway and a helicopter landing pad on the port side, coupled with ample storage for four tenders and a helicopter.Constructed with a sleek steel hull and aluminum superstructure, Lily resembles a sailing yacht with its uninterrupted lines. The absence of side walkways creates a smooth, seamless appearance while the specially designed one-way glass windows allow guests to maintain a strong connection with the ocean, all from the comfort of the interior.“Many younger yacht owners prioritize shaded areas for comfort, so we ensured Lily offers more sun protection than traditional designs,” adds Hoekstra.Inside, the cleverly designed overlapping decks mimic the petals of a water lily, creating intriguing patterns of light and shadow. The main deck, or “leisure deck,” features an impressive 4-meter-high ceiling, an expansive wellness area with a waterside swimming pool, gym, and a space for watersports, all complemented by a lounge and balcony overlooking the aft deck.Hoekstra notes, “The overlapping petals of a lily inspired the structure of the decks, which are layered for enhanced visual connections.”As guests explore deeper, they move through glass mezzanines and stairways connecting to nine luxurious double guest cabins, an open-plan cinema, and a cozy children’s play area accessed via a thrilling suspension bridge. The split-level configuration enhances sight lines throughout, supplemented by a virtual bridge.The top deck offers 450 square meters of private owner’s quarters, ensuring optimal privacy with the bedroom positioned on a lower half-deck. This level also features a vast private sundeck and a serene interior lily pond that draws fresh air, marrying nature with luxury in a unique aesthetic.Dedicated crew areas are efficiently designed to ensure impeccable service while discreetly hidden access routes keep operations separate from guest spaces.As part of the Beyond Custom Yachts by Oceanco, Lily incorporates Lateral Naval Architects' Energy Transition Platform (ETP) and hybrid Dynafin propulsion combined with fuel cell technology.“In the Beyond Custom framework, we aim to create projects that are unparalleled in our industry, and Lily exemplifies that vision,” concludes Hoekstra. “This boundaryless onboard experience echoes the vastness of the ocean, offering owners the freedom to enjoy every aspect of their yacht. It is in the uniqueness of such concepts that we find true value for future owners.”Oceanco was founded in 1987. Right now it is a world-class builder of custom superyachts up to the 140 meters range. Oceanco works with world-known designers such as Terence Disdale, Nuvolari-Lenard, Espen Oeino, Sam Sorgiovanni, Igor Lobanov, Tim Heywood and Andrew Winch to create some of the timeless and award-winning yachts afloat today.Credit: Oceanco
