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."

Dutch shipbuilder Damen has launched Game Changer, its latest 70-metre yacht support vessel with helicopter hangar, in March 2017. The vessel has been later spotted in London and now seen cruising the Med.Game Changer is the fourth yacht support vessel in the 70-metre segment following the delivery of Intrepid, 6711 and Garcon. This latest launch also follows last year’s delivery and sale of the 55-metre showcase vessel Fast & Furious. With its yacht support range, Damen is now the established leader in this rapidly developing niche. In total 11 vessels have been delivered or are in build.The vessel features a fully certified helideck so owners can take larger helicopters on long range flights to their mother yachts and land safely in a wider weather window. Lowering the helicopter into the hangar protects it from the elements so it is refuelled and available for take-off without causing hassle, disruption and noise on the mother yacht.In addition, Game Changer has 250 square metres of open deck space for tenders and toys. The large deck crane makes logistics and handling simple, fast and safe. Below deck there is a further 110 square-metre storage space/dive centre. The YS 6911 has offices, facilities and accommodation for 22 crew and staff. It can carry a huge amount of extra provisions, fuel (marine, aviation and petrol), luggage and spare parts.

Design Unlimited has presented its latest trimaran concept, intended to partner business and pleasure in an efficient and high performing package. Measuring 46.8m, she’ll be built to LY3 and MLC regulations, with accommodation for nine in four cabins, and crew quarters for six. Maximum speed predictions are for 24 knots, with a range of 2,500 nautical miles cruising at 14 knots.The compact Trimaran design has a drag coefficient so low that build and running costs equate to a monohull half her size. Test results from the Potsdam tank facility in Germany have exceeded all expectations in terms of hydrodynamic resistance, pitch and roll.The design has already undergone extensive development stages. Mani Frers has lead all aspects of the naval architecture and styling, McConaghy have developed the engineering and systems on board, composite engineering has been handled by Pure Design, a peer-review of the vessel’s incredible seakeeping qualities has been made by DNVGL, and the interior design comes from Design Unlimited. This highly advanced superyacht is now ready to commence production.Headlining the interior arrangement is the panoramic master suite, which utilises the upper deck. This large stateroom is complemented by an en-suite bathroom, dressing room with walk-in wardrobe and a private gym – all with views to the horizon. The private deck space is accessed via glass sliding doors and also positioned here is the owner’s helipad.The main saloon and interior dining area, spanning the 11.3m beam, have an open flow making for seamless transitions between the interior and exterior spaces, with the main aft deck serving as a social area, beach club and additional lounge. Versatility of space was key to the brief and the interior spaces can be closed off to create private areas more suited to business use. Glass has been used extensively in the design and will incorporate the latest heat-reflective technology.The interior styling is modern, with an underlying colour palette that is clean and simple. Accents of colour and texture details are then used to add personality to the space. Manufactured from lightweight materials throughout to reach target speed and range, particular attention will also be paid to sound proofing – ensuring a relaxed and peaceful environment for owner and guests.This superyacht also features an abundance of desirable lifestyle elements. On the aft deck, a large sheltered lounge area with bar facilities frames a pool, steps either side of which then lead down to the swim platform. Functionality and ease of movement for the crew was also an important part of the brief. The yacht’s tenders and toys are deployed from the sides of the hull, with the crew tender housed forward.
