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 Baltic 111 Raven, equipped with revolutionary hydrofoils, has triumphed in early sea trials, showcasing exceptional reliability and attaining sustained speeds in the high 20s. Over ten consecutive days of rigorous testing off Baltic Yachts' headquarters in Jakobstad, Finland, the super-lightweight sloop exhibited its prowess, setting the stage for its imminent handover to the owner in October.This superyacht is the first in its class to integrate hydrofoils mounted on adjustable side arms, supporting a substantial portion of its displacement. The sea trials marked the culmination of a meticulous two-year build and testing phase, characterized by Baltic Yachts' commitment to weight reduction, critical for the project's success.The yacht’s overall concept, including the interior and exterior styling is by Finn Jarkko Jämsén. Naval architecture is by Botin Partners and structural engineering by PURE Design in New Zealand, both of whom are at the leading edge of the latest America’s Cup foiling technology. Leading the Raven project is the highly experienced Garth Brewer of A2B Marine Projects. Raven's performance, meeting initial expectations, has been a result of a collaborative effort involving the foil team, rig suppliers, sailmakers, structural engineers, and the Baltic Yachts build team. Henry Hawkins, Baltic Yachts' Executive Vice President, expressed delight in the promising and successful trials but emphasized that this marks just the beginning of the journey.Sailing under a full main and a triple-headed sailplan, Raven showcased its foiling capability, utilizing the leeward foil to support a significant part of its displacement. The yacht, designed to sail on its chine, maintains its transom immersed, equipped with trim tabs for altering fore and aft trim.Captured in photographs sailing in moderate wind and sea conditions at impressive speeds, Raven is now poised for transfer to a location offering optimal conditions for further testing.Baltic Yachts was founded in 1973 with a clear objective to build better yachts that are lighter, stiffer, and faster. With more than 550 yachts launched, that objective has been continuously met.Credits: Dan-Erik Olsen/Baltic Yachts

The Enata Group unveiled the Vatoz, a dynamic new 10-meter foiling yacht based on Enata’s original chassis. It is the result of a visionary collaboration with the award-winning and world-renowned yacht designer, Timur Bozca.“The beautiful new design is based on Enata’s current 10-meter Foiler sharing all of its advantages and technology,” said Alois Vieujot, Director of Enata. “This is the perfect example of the kind of collaborations we make on our proven foiling platform, granting new players access to all our technology.”Vatoz epitomizes sleek design, seamlessly marrying form and function to align with the aesthetics of contemporary yachts. Its organic and muscular exterior, meticulously crafted, accentuates a commanding presence while expertly managing airflow around the cabin.Designer Timur Bozca elucidated, "Every design element of the project serves a purpose. The core concept behind Vatoz is to optimize dynamics inspired by the stingray. Beneath its clean surfaces and curved lines lies an aerodynamic masterpiece. Distinctive lines guide your gaze across the front, extending to the prominent wings."The side wings, aside from providing easy access to the front area, act as a barrier against waves, doubling as storage for sea toys. Tinted windows transform the yacht into a sculptural masterpiece, and with its carbon fiber hull, Vatoz stands out as a technological marvel from every perspective.Employing Enata's efficient Foiler technology, the vessel can soar 1.5 meters above the water, coupled with the proprietary Wingman management system, aiming for a maximum speed of 40 knots in foiling mode.“The Foiler has minimal environmental impact in terms of fuel consumption, wake, and noise,” noted Vieujot. "Vatoz, meaning Stingray, draws inspiration from this elegant creature, serving as a tribute to endangered marine life."The interior seamlessly extends the exterior's design ethos. Bathed in natural light, the stylish cabin offers an unparalleled owner experience. Elegant windows and a skylight amplify the sense of space, combining sporty aesthetics with modern luxury.Crafted with precision from lightweight carbon fiber, Vatoz embodies the forefront of sustainable yachting. Its distinctive wing-like structures not only enhance agility but ingeniously provide access to the bow and extra storage, reinforcing its forward-thinking stance in the yachting landscape.“Foiling brings another dimension to the yachting experience,” said Timur Bozca. “The Foiler’s experience and comfort is the dream the yacht industry is trying to achieve. It is the perfect extension of elegance, tranquility, and a vision of the future, which is represented in our designs.”The Enata Group is the international manufacturing group headquartered in United Arab Emirates, and the builder of the flying 9.8-meter carbon Foiler. The group’s primary businesses include three main areas of R&D and manufacturing: marine, aerospace and architecture. Credits: Enata Group
