Best Lurssen Yachts for Sale

One of the premier shipyards in Europe, Lürssen is a trusted name in yacht building. The brand is renowned for its  new construction yachts  that are as beautiful as they are powerful, functional and innovative. Since 1875, the Lürssen family has dedicated itself to building the most impressive vessels on the water. The philosophy born more than a century ago that yachts from Lürssen would be both of the highest quality and the best performance lives on today. The firm’s deep-rooted connection to shipbuilding and German seafaring excellence is evident in every hull launched by the renowned builder. All Lürssen yachts are custom built to owners’ specifications with an uncompromising dedication to quality and style. Lürssen builds yachts from 164 feet (50m) in length to larger than 590 feet (180m). Lürssen’s advanced craftspeople, technicians, naval architects and specialized engineers collaborate flexibly with one another and yacht owners to create bold, poetic works of art.

Lurssen Yachts Heritage

Lürssen was founded in 1875 by Friedrich Lürssen who trained as a boatbuilder to work alongside his father in the boatyard. His father encouraged Friedrich to open his own yard and on June 27, Friedrich opened the doors to his boatbuilding workshop in Aumund, near Bremen, Germany. The first yacht built by Lürssen boasted both quality and originality; these two traits have become hallmarks of the Lürssen brand.

The Lürssen moniker originally built racing rowboats for Bremen oarsmen, but as time passed, the word about the impressive quality of Lürssen’s builds spread. Orders began coming in from all over Germany as the builder acquired a reputation for boats that were built to the highest possible standards with outstanding craftsmanship.lurssen yacht project at dock outside lurssen shipyard in germany

In 1886 Lürssen then changed the game by building the world’s first motorboat. A special commission by Gottlieb Daimler, an inventor and engine manufacturer who wanted to test his engines on the water, the 19-foot (6m) REMS was built and thus a new legacy for Lürssen was born.

As the demand for Lürssen-built crafts grew, the yard needed to expand. By the turn of the 20th century, the Lürssen yard was able to access open water directly thanks to the yards new site in Bremen-Vegesack. Another early 20th-century feat was the launch of Lürssen’s DONNERWETTER racing speedboat that was able to reach up to 35 knots courtesy of its 40hp engine. It was at this same time that Friedrich Lürssen’s son Otto joined the family business. He came to the firm with a shipbuilding engineering background, a high level of craftsmanship and new technical expertise. Otto was dedicated to improving methods to elevate the brand’s quality of craft further. This spirit of innovation and emphasis on quality remains today.

Throughout the proceeding 50 years, Lürssen enjoyed continued successes. The LÜRSSEN-DAIMLER became a racing champion, the OHEKA II set new standards of speed; with her the Maybach engines that allowed her to achieve a top speed of 34 knots, she became the world’s fastest commuter yacht and the 118-foot (36m) AAR IV was the world’s longest motor yacht. During this time, the company celebrated its 50th anniversary and sadly said goodbye to Otto, but his wife Frieda took the helm of the company, continuing its success. Eventually, Otto’s and Frieda’s sons Gert and Fritz-Otto came aboard and delivered the impressive 180-foot (55m) PEGASUS II.

In 1971 Lürssen again changed the game with the CARINTHIA VI. A 232-foot (71m) luxury yacht designed by Jon Bannenberg — his first major yacht project — the CARINTHIA VI raised the bar for modern styling and created a signature look that can still be seen in the Lürssen yachts of today.

Lürssen continues to build the world’s most advanced and stylish luxury yachts

The Lurssen Mega Yacht Fleet

In the 1980s the fourth generation of Lürssens, Friedrich and Peter, joined the company, continuing the strong family heritage. The firm also moved its production to Lemwerder. Lürssen then took over Kröger Werft, which had docks on the Kiel Canal near Rendsburg. This allowed the firm to specialize in building yachts between 197 feet (60m) and 360 feet (110m) and begin refit and conversion work. The Lürssen yards were operating at 90 percent capacity with navy contracts and so the firm decided to split production between yacht and navy building.

By the 1990s Lürssen yachts were renowned around the world as the top-tier of luxury. The brand delivered the 318-foot (97m) megayacht LIMITLESS, designed by Jon Bannenberg, in 1997. The 2000s meant more yard acquisitions for Lürssen as it purchased the Neue Jadewerft shipyard in Wilhelmshaven on the German North Sea where the brand could work on repairs and conversions of vessels up to 492 feet (150m) long. The Lürssen name has attracted the world’s top yacht designers for decades. In 2012, two of these renowned designers, Tim Heywood and Terence Disdale, styled the interior and exterior of 483-foot (147.25m) yacht TOPAZ. That same year the Norderwerft shipyard in Hamburg was acquired by the Lürssen Group and in 2013 the Peene Werft shipyard in Wolgast, Germany, also joined the firm. Throughout this time, the brand continued to build and deliver the world’s most impressive yachts. In 2013, Lürssen delivered the 592-foot (180.65m) AZZAM, which was at the time the world’s largest yacht. She also reached incredible speeds of 30 knots — a true feat for her size. The build took only three years, which set another impressive bar for the builder. Two-thousand-sixteen saw another impressive delivery: DILBAR, a 512-foot (156m) luxury superyacht was the largest yacht in terms of gross tonnage. At 15,917-tons, she offered a level of amenities never before seen on a yacht. She boasted the most state-of-the-art technology and was delivered in just 52 months.

Building a Lurssen Yacht

Lürssen continues to build the world’s most advanced and stylish luxury yachts. Its impressive heritage and dedication are second to none.

“Lürssen yachts truly are some of the most impressive built. I thoroughly enjoy working with clients to build Lürssen new construction yachts,” says  Northrop & Johnson  Sales Broker Joe Foggia. “The build process with the shipyard is incredibly enjoyable and clients are always blown away with the quality of service and the quality of their yachts.”

Lurssen is Environmentally Conscious

The Lürssen family has a deep respect for the sea and consistently applies environmentally friendly tactics to its yacht-building process. Its superyachts have greater fuel efficiency and decreased soot, CO2 and noise emissions. Lürssen also is the first yacht builder to make extensive use of engine and generator waste heat to operate the ship’s onboard desalination drinking water system. The brand continues to invest in research and development that promote sustainability and energy technologies such as hybrids and fuel cells. Lürssen is proud to contribute to the Blue Marine Foundation, a marine biodiversity conservation organization.

“Lürssen yachts for charter are some of the most sought-after on the charter market,” says Northrop & Johnson charter broker Fiona Maureso .  “This is because of the quality of the yachts and the amenities available on board. Lürssen yachts are state-of-the-art, but they also are timeless. Clients understand the level of excellence they will receive when they step aboard a Lürssen superyacht. This level of superiority is something clients have come to expect of charter yachts from the brand.”

Lürssen is proud to have built some of the most impressive yachts in the world. Some of these include the 403-foot (123m) AL LUSAIL, the 508-foot (155m) AL SAID, the 456-foot (139m) AL SALAMAH, the 592-foot (180m) AZZAM, the 511-foot (156m) DILBAR, the 403-foot (123m) GOLDEN ODYESSY, the 454-foot (138m) RISING SUN and the 483-foot (147m) TOPAZ to name a few. Lürssen also is extremely proud of the yachts in its 50-to-90-meter range; which represent the brand’s core business. The 196-foot (60m) OASIS, 206-foot (63m) POLAR STAR, 278-foot (85m) SOLANDGE and the 311-foot (95m) KISMET are examples of yachts in this incredible range and are not only impressively built and beautiful, but also renowned as some of the most prominent in the global fleet.

Lürssen is a family-owned yacht builder, deeply steeped in tradition with its foot firmly planted in the future. For more information on Lürssen yachts for sale, a new build Lürssen, or to charter a Lürssen , contact your preferred  Northrop & Johnson  broker.

About lurssen yachts.

One of the world’s most legendary custom-yacht builders, Lurssen has been pushing the boundaries of what is possible ever since the company was founded in Bremen, Germany back in 1875. Still owned by the same family today, Lurssen builds all their vessels from self-owned shipyards in Germany. Lurssen has produced some of the most prized and famous yachts ever built, from the world’s first speedboats in the nineteenth century to the construction of the world’s 10 largest megayachts in recent history. Lurssen’s colossal reputation is well-deserved.

More About Lurssen Yachts

The Lurssen family had already been building boats for some time when 24-year-old Friedrich Lurssen established his shipyard in 1875. Located in Aumund, Germany close to the thriving Hanseatic port city of Bremen, Friedrich’s factory initially began making small, wooden hulled boats for the local fishing and ferry industry. It was in 1886, however, that Friedrich made the decision that would change the Lurssen family fortunes forever. He decided to build sport boats, partnering with Gottlieb Daimler to fit one of the world-famous inventor’s new engines to a boat of his own design. This boat, the REMS, became the first motorboat in history and utterly revolutionized the naval industry. By 1905, Lurssen was building the fastest speedboats on the planet, including the 34-knot Donnerwetter, while in 1911 the firm launched vessels that swept to victory at the Monte Carlo Grand Prix.

Due to the firm’s staggering early success it took Lurssen only 50 years to launch 10,000 vessels from its yards in northern Germany. Ownership changed with the passing of Fredrich, with son Otto, daughter-in-law Frieda, and grandchildren Gert and Fritz-Otto all taking turns to manage the company. It was in the post-war era that Lurssen started making waves in the luxury yacht market, with a 180-foot superyacht, enormous for its time, launching as early as 1962. The firm was firmly established as the world’s seminal provider of superyachts in 1971 when the company teamed up with cutting-edge naval designer Jon Bannenberg to build the 233-foot-long Carinthia VI, one of the most iconic vessels ever launched. The boat hit new heights in terms of amenity and luxury, with a classic and graceful design that is still emulated by builders to this day.

In the 1980s, with the firm’s order books close to bursting, Lurssen decided to split their divisions into separate companies. One half continued to build for the world’s navies and commercial operators, while the other concentrated on the development of private yachts. It is around this time that Peter Lurssen, the fourth generation of the family to work at the firm and current CEO, joined the company. Three huge new shipyards in northern Germany were acquired to enable the firm to build even bigger yachts, an ambition realized in amazing fashion with the launch of the 318-foot long megayacht, Limitless, in 1997. And Lurssen has not stopped there. Year on year the company keeps breaking records and setting a pace for flair and innovation that leaves other yacht yards struggling to keep up. 2015 saw the delivery of the world’s longest yacht, the Azzam, to the Emir of Abu Dhabi. This was followed just one year later by the launch of the world’s largest yacht by gross tonnage, the Dilbar.

Lurssen Yachts has built 12 of the world’s 20 largest yachts, crafted by the firm’s 1635 employees across 8 different shipyards in Germany. The company looks set to continue dominating the high-end yacht market in the future, with the bold 2018 acquisition of rival shipyard Blohm+Voss, a move that is sure to catapult the firm to even greater heights. Nor has Lurssen ever compromised its core beliefs in the quality of innovation and finish that have always marked their boats out as special. To this day the company is 100% family-owned and operated, while recent shifts towards sustainability, including a major partnership with the Blue Marine Foundation, have established the firm as one of the greenest yacht builders around.

The Rising Sun

Designed by Jon Bannenberg, launched in 2004 and over 452 feet long, the Rising Sun is one of the most exceptional yachts ever built. Delivered to American tech magnate Larry Ellison and now owned by music and media mogul David Geffen, the yacht immediately made headlines for its lavish on-board amenities. Large enough for a gym, a basketball court, wine cellar, movie theater and more, the yacht boasts an incredible 82 rooms. Despite the size, the yacht zips along the water at a quick 29 knots thanks to four MTU diesel engines, while a steel hull provides next-level durability and safety. Across the years the Rising Sun has hosted many luminaries from across the world of entertainment, such as Sir Paul McCartney, Steven Spielberg, and Oprah Winfrey.

Built for American philanthropist Jody Allen in 2003, the Octopus is one of Lurssen’s most stylish and well-equipped yachts, and a testament to the firm’s German engineering prowess. 414 feet in length, the Octopus boasts space for two helipads, a luxury spa, library, basketball court as well as several bars, dining rooms and salons. The boat has unparalleled garage space for plenty of tenders, jet skis and even a submarine and remotely operated underwater vessel. It is perhaps due to the facilities on board the Octopus that the yacht has been used for research trips to Antarctica, rescue missions for the British Navy and reconnaissance projects for Google Earth to the depths of the Pacific. Interior designs, meanwhile, were completed by Jonathan Quinn Barnett, to an incredibly sumptuous standard. The yacht was put back on the market in 2019, and is sure to be eyed up by the world’s richest yacht owners.

The longest yacht in the world, the 590-foot Azzam was launched in 2013 for the Emir of Abu Dhabi, and is just as regal as its owner. The yacht’s sleek and timeless white design stands out like a faceted gemstone on the high seas, while lavish interiors courtesy of Christophe Leone are bold and minimalist in tone. With more than 50 suites, a 95-foot-long main salon and 6 rear sundecks this yacht offers the sort of space that would more commonly be associated with cruise ships, yet with the attention to detail and luxury that are hallmarks of Lurssen. The yacht can reach a top speed of almost 32 knots, a phenomenal achievement for a vessel of its size, thanks to twin diesel engines and two gas turbines that collectively produce some 47,000 horsepower.

Carinthia VII

Inspired by Lurssen’s groundbreaking Carinthia VI, launched in 1971, this yacht from 2002 caught the eye with its timeless, classic design and bold, navy blue hull. Almost 320 feet long, the yacht is owned by Austrian billionaire Heidi Horten and can often be seen traversing the Greek Islands, at anchor in the Venetian Lagoon, or gliding along the coast of the Cote D’Azur.

Lurssen is unquestionably one of the world’s leading builders of large luxury motor, mega and giga yachts . They have the reliability and experience of a family that has been building standard-setting yachts and ships since 1875. They are based in Germany with headquarters in Bremen-Vegesack with five shipyards throughout northern Germany.

The Yachts That Make Lurssen Great

More than 13,000 boats and ships built since 1875, many of them still in service after decades of use. Unlike any other shipyard, Lurssen has delivered 11 out of the 20 largest yachts built in the past 20 years. First place goes to “MY Azzam” (2015), measuring an impressive 180.65m and not only setting a record for length and speed, for which she exceeds 30 knots but also for her swift building time of less than 3 years. “MY Dilbar” (2016), the biggest yacht in the world in terms of gross tonnage, loaded with highly sophisticated technology, she is one of the most complex and challenging yachts ever built. To name but a few of their iconic motor yachts “Al Said, A+, Nord, Al Salamah, Rising Sun, Flying Fox and Crescent” all measuring between 130-156m in length and lastly “Octopus” launched in 2003 and commissioned for the co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen.

In 1875, Friedrich Lurssen founds the company and sets up a boat building workshop in Aumund near Bremen, Germany and builds the very first 6 metre motor boat “REMS” with Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. In the early 1900’s the yard continues to expand and includes a site in Bremen-Vegesack where there is direct access to the open water. In 1925, the yard celebrates two major milestones, its 50th anniversary and the building of its 10,000th vessel, a 14-metre wooden wooden motor yacht and sister ship of the “Onkel Fid II.” Prior to Lurssen celebrating a century in business, “MY Carinthia VI” redefines yacht design, her exterior design setting new worldwide standards. Designer Jon Bannenberg overseas his first major yacht project and to this day, she remains contemporary in styling, a precursor of Lurssen yachts today.  In 1977, Friedrich Lurssen joins the company and today the 4th generation pairing of Friedrich and Peter Lurssen are at the helm of Lurssen yachts who continue to consistently produce some of the world’s most extraordinary vessels.

Established in Germany by Friedrich Lürssen in 1875, five generations of Lürssens have continued the family boatbuilding tradition. Today, Lürssen specializes in fully custom yachts from less than 60 meters to more than 150, from concept to completion and beyond into maintenance and refit.

Lürssen works out of five locations. Vegesack is the main headquarters and has been since 1918. The company’s four shipyards each specialize in different sizes and focus on different activities.

The Lemwerder yard builds yachts 80 to 110 meters in length and has been part of the Lürssen process since 1935. This location also houses the main warehouse and refit and repair department.

Aumund constructs yachts 100 meters in length and larger. This yard joined the Lürssen group in 1997 and is best for the largest yachts.

Lürssen has used the Rendsburg location since 1987 to build 60- to 90-meter yachts, plus maintain navy ships and yacht refit.

Lürssen acquired the Wilhelmshaven site in 2006. Maintenance, repair, and refit on vessels up to 150 meters takes place here.

Naval architects and designers such as Espen Øino, Mark Berryman, Glade Johnson, Reymond Langton, Adam Lay, Alberto Pinto, Andrew Winch, and Francois Zuretti work with Lürssen and its clients to create highly personalized, quality, custom yachts. A few notable launches from Lürssen include Arkley, Podium , Oasis , and Polar Star .

Recent Lurssen Launches

2020 has marked an extremely active year for the shipbuilder. The 87m Project HAWAII was seen in the Baltic Sea performing sea trials after it left the Rendsburg yard. Shortly after that, the German Naval Yard Kiel merged with Lürssen in a joint venture with goals to reinforce the efficiency and sustainability of the German naval shipbuilding industry to compete on a global level. Shortly after the merger the 90m superyacht project 1601 was revealed in Rendsburg. The technical launch of the hull and superstructure mark another great milestone for the German builder. More recently, in June, Lürssen delivered the highly secretive Project LIGHTNING. Details of Project LIGHTNING have been sparse.

The 130-meter (426’ 6”) highly secretive yacht, PROJECT LIGHTNING – also known as yacht SCHEHERAZADE was delivered early morning on June 1 st , 2020 and made its maiden voyage headed to Norway. Very few details have been released, including designers and architects. The gigayacht features 2 large helipads and a large beach club. The yacht is among the top largest yachts in the world.

The 197-foot (60-meter) motor yacht Arkley launched in 2009 with exterior styling by Espen Øino and a light and bright interior design by Mark Berryman. Six exquisite staterooms sleep 12 guests, and 15 crew are housed in eight cabins.

115m Lürssen superyacht Pelorus for sale

The 115-metre Lürssen superyacht Pelorus is now for sale with Dominic Millman at Burgess.

Pelorus is a 5,403-gross-tonne motor yacht delivered in 2003 with three of the most distinguished names in yachting behind her design and build: Lürssen, Tim Heywood and Terence Disdale . DNV classed, she was the 11th largest yacht in the world and the flagship of the Lürssen fleet when she first hit the water. 

Her steel hull is based on the same lines as Carinthia VII , with a high forebody and reverse sheer sweeping down towards the stern, but Pelorus features an additional line that curves down towards the bow inspired by the "armour belt" on the HMS Belfast moored on the river Thames.

Terence Disdale created a relaxed but sophisticated interior using natural materials where possible for a beach club feel throughout the vessel. Accommodation is for 24 guests (with dispensation for a total of 36 guests) in 12 ensuite cabins, including a master suite that sits on the owner's deck. The space encompasses a private owner's study with a U-shaped desk and panoramic ocean views aft, and a round table with a lazy susan that seats eight.

The remaining accommodation is comprised of a VIP cabin, seven guest cabins (one of which is equipped with a fold-down terrace) and an additional three guest cabins. Guests are catered to by a crew of 46 with three additional staff cabins and a separate staff lounge. All guest areas and crew cabins are fitted with flatscreen televisions.

There are four pools on board Pelorus, the largest of which can be found on the sun deck next to a Jacuzzi flanked by sunpads. Elsewhere, owners can enjoy a steam room and plunge pool thanks to an onboard wellness centre.

Another highlight is the dedicated cinema room with sink-in sofas, Dolby Atmos sound and more than 120 4k films available at the touch of a button. 

Pelorus carries seven tenders including an 11.2-metre limo and 8.5-metre sports tender (both by Vikal), a ten-metre X-tender rib, two Pascoe ribs including a SOLAS rib, a nine-metre Hinckley and a Zodiac. Her toy box is just as extensive with stowage for up to six jet skis and a full dive set-up.

Power comes from a pair of Wartsila Model 12V26 engines delivering a maxiumum speed of 20 knots and a range of 6,000 nautical miles at 16 knots. A quartet of Quantum zero speed stabilisers – two aft and two forward – offer the ultimate guest comfort at anchor and underway.

Pelorus is currently in Germany with an asking price of €185,000,000.
