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."

At the beginning of 2019, Arcadia Yachts is one of the most active shipyards. Now it has ten units under construction. Worldwide premiere of the first Sherpa XL is scheduled on September 2019 at the Cannes Yachting Festival. Now she is taking shape on the shipyard rapidly and is entirely on schedule. To date, the shipyard has completed all carpentry work on the new Sherpa XL, as well as finishing the work to connect the hull and deck. Last Arcadia A105 was also presented at Cannes 2018.The main idea of Arcadia based on placing the owner at the heart of the project, creating the spaces that surround him exactly to begin design of how he intends to use the yacht, not starting from the shape of the hull. The new Sherpa XL yacht makes the best use of the areas on board. 24-metres vessel and especially of the beam, which is nearly 7 metres, offering an incredible 220 square metres of interior and exterior living space. The total union between interiors and exteriors, which highlights the relationship with the sea and the surrounding environment, is definitely the sky lounge (34 m2), where the up&down windows allow guests to enjoy the sea breeze by simply touching a button.The concept of the Sherpa XL yacht, developed in collaboration with the Hot Lab design company goes around the layout of the decks. The bow decks are split to develop a central flight of stairs with small differences in height. This particular layout provides considerable space in a relatively small height, which allows obtaining interesting results with volumes.The aft cockpit is directly connected to the stern control panel that supports the sundeck, 65 square metres in size. A transversal garage is located forward of the engine room, with a side hatch that can take a tender, longer than 4m.On the upper deck, with a 35 square metre sun lounge, a bar area reflects the open-air philosophy of the Sherpa XL. This area is dedicated entirely to guests and their privacy without a traditional exterior helm station.Sherpa XL was designed with a four or three cabin layout. The specific corridors and rooms for the crew provide guests with a level of privacy that is typical of larger yachts. The master suite extends into the bathroom, with no dividing partitions, which allows the owner to enjoy large, open space and full of light.The yacht can reach a top speed of over 20 knots. If the speed is kept at 10 knots, the vessel’s autonomy is over 1,500 miles. Sherpa XL is equipped with solar panels, which sufficient to power all on board systems except for the air conditioning and equipped with standard engines twin Volvo Penta IPS 1050hp. Another interesting project of Arcadia Yacht is FOR. TH. of 47-meters long.@Photos by Arcadia Yachts
