About Lürssen — 150 Years of Superyacht Excellence
Lürssen was founded on June 27, 1875 by Friedrich Lürssen in Aumund, near Bremen, Germany. Friedrich, trained as a boatbuilder alongside his father, opened his own yard at age 24 — driven by the conviction that boats built to the highest possible standard would earn their own reputation. That conviction proved correct: within a decade, orders were arriving from across Germany for vessels known for exceptional quality and originality.
In 1886, Lürssen built the world’s first motorboat — a milestone that set the direction for the next 140 years. The yard expanded to Bremen-Vegesack in the early 1900s, gaining direct access to open water. By 1925 — the yard’s 50th anniversary — Lürssen had built its 10,000th vessel.
Today, Lürssen remains family-owned across four generations, operating facilities in Lemwerder, Berne, and Bremen. The yard specializes exclusively in full-custom superyachts and gigayachts from 60 metres upward — building some of the largest, most technically advanced private vessels ever launched. 35 of the world’s top 100 superyachts by length were built at Lürssen — a statistic no other private shipyard can match.
In 2026, Lürssen delivered Nausicaä — the world’s first fuel-cell superyacht — demonstrating the yard’s continued leadership in sustainable superyacht technology.
Why Lürssen Leads the Global Superyacht Market
Robert Lama advises buyers at every level of the superyacht market. When buyers at the 60-metre-plus level ask which shipyard produces the most technically rigorous vessels, Lürssen is consistently the answer. The reasons are specific:
Full-Custom Only — No Compromise
Lürssen builds nothing from a standard platform. Every vessel begins with a blank sheet, shaped entirely by the owner’s brief. This approach takes longer and costs more — and produces results that no production or semi-custom shipyard can replicate.
Engineering Depth
Lürssen’s facilities handle hull design, structural engineering, naval architecture, mechanical systems, and outfitting under one roof. This integration — rare at any shipyard — means the engineering team that designs the vessel also oversees its construction from keel to delivery.
Record-Breaking Track Record
Azzam (180.61m, 2013) — world’s longest motor yacht at delivery. Dilbar (156m, 2016) — world’s largest superyacht by gross tonnage and interior volume. These vessels demonstrate capability at scales where most shipyards have no experience.
Sustainability Leadership
Lürssen was the first major superyacht builder to deliver a hydrogen fuel-cell vessel (Nausicaä, 2026), and has committed €50 million to its Rendsburg investment programme for next-generation build infrastructure.
Lürssen Yacht Types and Capabilities
Because Lürssen builds exclusively to custom specification, there is no model catalogue. Every Lürssen is a unique vessel. The yard’s capability range covers:
| Vessel Category | Size Range | Construction | Key Capability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superyacht | 60m – 90m | Steel / Aluminium | Full custom, 8–14 guest cabins, crew 20–35 |
| Mega Yacht | 90m – 130m | Steel / Aluminium | Resort-scale amenities, helicopter, submarine deck |
| Gigayacht | 130m – 180m+ | Steel | Commercial-grade engineering, 150+ crew capacity |
| Expedition Superyacht | 65m+ | Steel | Ice-class capability, 5,000nm+ range, research facilities |
Every vessel regardless of size undergoes classification by Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas, or DNV — the same standards applied to commercial shipping. This is not optional at Lürssen; it is standard practice across every build.

Lürssen Yacht Price — What Buyers Should Know
There is no published Lürssen yachts price list — every vessel is priced individually. Every Lurssen superyacht is priced individually based on size, specification, materials, systems complexity, and the specific design team and interior studio engaged. As a general planning reference:
| Vessel Scale | Approx. New Build Cost | Pre-owned Range | Annual Operating Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60m – 80m | $50M – $120M | $30M – $90M | $3M – $8M/year |
| 80m – 120m | $120M – $250M | $80M – $200M | $8M – $20M/year |
| 120m+ | $250M – $600M+ | $150M – $500M+ | $20M – $50M+/year |
Figures are indicative planning ranges as of 2026. Pre-owned Lürssen transactions frequently occur off-market through specialist broker networks before public listing. Contact Robert Lama at +1-305-857-8939 for accurate current market pricing.
Used Lürssen Yachts for Sale — How the Pre-owned Market Works
The pre-owned Lürssen market operates differently from production superyacht brokerage. Key points buyers need to understand:
- Most transactions are private: The majority of Lürssen re-sales occur through off-market broker-to-broker networks. A vessel listed on YATCO or YachtWorld represents a fraction of actual Lürssen market activity. Off-market access through a broker with active international relationships — like Miami International Yacht Sales — is essential.
- Classification surveys are mandatory: Every Lürssen sale requires a full structural survey by the vessel’s classification society (Lloyd’s, Bureau Veritas, or DNV). These surveys assess structural integrity, systems, and compliance — and are more comprehensive than standard SAMS/NAMS surveys used for production yachts.
- Crew continuity matters: A Lürssen delivered with its original crew team — who know the vessel’s systems in detail — is significantly more valuable than an equivalent vessel with high crew turnover. Robert Lama advises on crew history as part of every pre-owned Lürssen evaluation.
- Refit history: At this scale, a documented 5-year refit cycle (common at major yards in Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK) adds measurable value. Vessels without documented refit history require a detailed condition assessment before any offer.

Are there used Lurssen yachts for sale?
Yes — used Lürssen yachts for sale (also referred to as used Lurssen yachts for sale) are available through specialist superyacht brokerages, though the majority of transactions occur off-market through private broker networks rather than public listings. YachtWorld currently lists several Lürssen vessels from 134 feet to 377 feet. Miami International Yacht Sales maintains active off-market intelligence through international co-brokerage relationships. Call +1-305-857-8939 for current off-market availability.
What is the most famous Lürssen yacht?
Azzam (2013, 180.61 metres) is the most recognized Lürssen vessel globally — it held the record as the world’s longest motor yacht from its delivery in 2013 and is notable for achieving 31.5 knots at 180 metres, an extraordinary speed for a vessel of this size. Dilbar (2016, 156 metres) holds the record for the largest superyacht by gross tonnage and interior volume. Both are often cited as benchmarks for what Lürssen is capable of at the extreme end of the scale.
Where are Lürssen yachts built?
Lürssen builds exclusively in Germany, operating three facilities: Lemwerder, Berne, and Bremen. The Lürssen shipyard and Lurssen shipyard in Lemwerder handles the largest commissions. The yard has operated in this region continuously since 1875 — the same family, the same region, across four generations. This geographic and organizational continuity is part of what makes Lürssen vessels distinctive: the shipbuilding knowledge base accumulated over 150 years is concentrated in one place.
How long does it take to build a Lürssen yacht?
A Lürssen commission at the 60–80 metre scale typically requires 4–6 years from initial design brief to delivery. Larger vessels above 100 metres typically take 5–7 years. The extended timeline reflects the fully custom engineering process — every system, every structural element, and every interior specification is developed from scratch for the specific vessel. Buyers should factor this timeline into any new commission discussion.

Miami International Yacht Sales works with specialist superyacht brokers in Fort Lauderdale, Monaco, and Hamburg to identify listed and off-market Lürssen inventory for buyers based in South Florida.

What makes Lürssen different from other superyacht builders?
Three things set Lürssen apart: the 150-year engineering heritage concentrated in one family-owned yard, the exclusive focus on full-custom builds with no production shortcuts, and the track record at the extreme end of scale — 35 of the world’s top 100 superyachts by length, including the world’s longest motor yacht. No other private shipyard has built at this consistent level across this many vessels at the top of the global fleet.
Does Lürssen build new superyachts in 2026?
Yes — Lürssen has an active order book for 2026 and beyond, including a new 125m+ commission with delivery scheduled for 2032. The yard delivered Nausicaä in 2026 — the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell superyacht — demonstrating continued innovation at the leading edge of sustainable superyacht technology. The yard has also committed €50 million to its Rendsburg investment programme for expanded build infrastructure.
