To build your yacht with Lürssen

1 Philosophy

My firm shall be known as a leader in both quality and performance.

Friedrich Lürßen, Founder, 1875

The Lürssen family has continued to live up to the founder’s standard since 1875.

2 creativity.

The art of realizing great ideas with the spirit of pioneers.

Lürssen builds the world’s first motorboat.

REMS has a Daimler engine with a cylinder capacity of 0.462 litres and a weight of 60 kilograms, producing an output of 1.5 hp.

Lürssen designs and builds the world’s first half-glider speedboat

Instead of planing hulls, Otto Lürßen relies on a rounded hull and powerful engines. At high speeds, these hulls partially emerge from the water.

Lürssen develops and builds the world’s first remote-controlled boat

The HAVEL is 13 metres long and is remotely steered with the aid of a wire.

Lürssen is the first to use a Voith Schneider propeller

Lürssen builds its first experimental boat with a Voith Schneider propeller.

Lürssen speedboat sets world record

Lürssen is the first to reach a speed of of 68.2 km/h, or around 37 knots, with a speedboat. Gert Lürßen himself sets the record on the Weser River.

Lürssen builds the world’s fastest motor yacht

SHERGAR is powered by two MTU diesel engines and two Allison gas turbines with an overall output of 16,100 hp, which take her to speeds of up to 45 knots.

Lürssen develops the world’s first common mounting of drive and energy systems

Main engines, gearbox and generators are mounted on a large common frame, thereby achieving extremely low noise and vibration levels.

Lürssen pioneers research into underwater exhaust systems for yachts

The findings form the basis for optimum positioning of the exhaust system to minimise backpressure, noise and emissions.

Lürssen is the first to use a common rail engine for a displacement yacht

A common rail engine as the main engine enables SKAT to reduce her emissions and fuel consumption to a minimum.

Lürssen builds the world’s first yacht with a pod drive

Lürssen builds the 90-metres ICE with a pod drive. The benefits: extremely high level of maneouverability, low noise level, reduced fuel consumption.

Lürssen delivers the world’s largest private sailing yacht

EOS has an overall length of 93 metres.To reduce noise levels in the interior when running the engine, she also incorporates the first active engine mounting system in a yacht.

Lürssen is the first shipyard to use process heating on a yacht

Lürssen is the first shipyard to harness process heat on a large scale in a yacht. On board the 156-metres AL SAID, process heat from the engines is used to help desalinate seawater for drinking.

AZZAM world’s longest private yacht

Lürssen delivers Azzam the longest yacht in the world. She not only sets a record with regard to her length of 180 metres and a speed of more than 30 knots – but also her building time of less than three years is record-breaking.

DILBAR world’s biggest private yacht by GT

Lürssen delivers the 156-metres yacht Dilbar – the biggest motor yacht in the world by gross tonnage. Without a doubt Dilbar is one of the most complex and challenging yachts that has ever been built, both in terms of dimension and technology. With a gross tonnage of 15,917 t, Dilbar provides spaces in the interior which have never been seen on a yacht before. The impressive project was finished in an astonishing 52 months.

3 Continuity

Lürssen has the experience and reliability of a family that has been building standard-setting ships and yachts since 1875. With us, you will always find the right expert to talk to.

Friedrich Lürßen founded our shipyard in 1875

Friedrich was not the first member of the Lürssen family to build boats – his father Lüder, born in 1805, was a boat-builder and had founded his own shipyard in the 1830s. Many of Lüder’s ancestors were also seafarers or boat-builders.

Gert Lürßen

Fritz-Otto Lürßen

Son of Gert

Director since 1977

Peter Lürßen

At Lürssen, knowledge in all facets of boatbuilding has been handed down from generation to generation – something very few yacht-builders can claim.

Lürssen´s corporate culture is based on long-term thinking – not just focused on the next quarterly results.

All shareholders are family members – no external investors pursuing their own interests and no risk of a takeover.

The Lürssen brand

We want to proudly place our family name on each yacht we build – that means we must always identify with our work.

5 Experience

98% of Lürssen employees are skilled and qualified professionals. They have above-average experience, passion for excellence and an eye for detail. Many have been with us for decades.

Lürssen's pool of skilled workers and technicians

Management & design, skilled workers, the overall number of employees, trainees & apprentices.

Lürssen works with the best designers, in-house engineers, naval architects and craftsmen.

This, coupled with well thought-out workflows and carefully selected materials, results in top-quality yachts – and the best value for money.

7 Reliability

More than 13,000 boats and ships built since 1875 – many of them still in service after decades – speak for themselves.

8 Made in Germany

No country has a better reputation for technology and quality than Germany.

Since Lürssen was founded in 1875, we have always been at the forefront in terms of investing in state-of-the-art technology to improve quality, speed and precision. Investment decisions are driven by one priority: how to guarantee the best technology to build your yacht.

Dilbar: 7 Facts

You’ve probably all heard of the yacht “Dilbar”. She is, after all, the world’s biggest yacht! Dilbar was built by Lurssen in Bremen, Germany. A feat of engineering, she is absolutely unbelievable. Just check out these stats.

1. Dilbar has a displacement tonnage of 1230: equal to around 186 Elephants .

Your average African Bush Elephant weighs just over 6000kg. There are (more or less) 907 kg in one US ton.

So, if we know that an elephant weighs 6.62 tons, we can also conclude that Dilbar is truly as heavy as a whole load of Elephants.

2. She has a colossal amount of cabling onboard…

…1,100 km worth to be exact; which is longer than the drive from the very North to the southern-most point of France (a mere 962km). For a yacht 156m long and 23m wide, that’s seriously impressive. Ooh-la-la! ??

3. Owner & Guest living space onboard is spread over 3,800 square metres, or 104 London apartments .

According to the Guardian newspaper, the average London flat covers 46 square metres- meaning Dilbar is much, much larger than your flat (and your friend’s flats, and their parents flats, and their neighbors flats, all rolled into one).????

4. Lurssen says that the 156m Dilbar only took 52 months to build.

To put this into perspective, it took around 100,000 slaves over 20 years to build the Great Pyramid : a stone structure of average height with no diesel engines or advanced audio-visual system.

5. Reportedly, you could actually fit the owner’s previous boat ONA inside Dilbar with space to spare.

This one doesn’t need much more explaining. The owner is Russian though, so it could be that he’s playing some sort of yacht-version of matryoshka dolls… ??

6. There’s a 25m swimming pool onboard, which is the largest superyacht pool in existence.

Dilbar has a beam (width) of 23m and a draft (depth below the water) of 6m, so this pool is relatively massive! Our sources tell us that the pool is around 6m across and around 2m deep, falling to 1m at the shallow end. Therefore we can perform a variable depth calculation to find the volume- which results in an estimated requirement of 225,000 liters of water to fill the Dilbar swimming pool.

Now, a typical Shell or BP Oil Truck can hold 11,000L (see where I’m going here…?). You would need 21 Oil Trucks filled with water just to fill the Dilbar swimming pool.

What’s even more incredible is that, due to the pesky free-surface effect, this pool probably has to be drained every time the boat is moved in order to maintain stability. The watermakers onboard would have to work at an incredible speed and efficiency to get this filled in time for the owner to take a dip once the anchor is dropped!

7. You definitely wouldn’t know all of your colleagues for quite some time if you were new onboard Dilbar…

The average human (never mind a hardworking yacht crew member) consumes 2kg of food a day. This means that the Dilbar chefs cook a whopping 73,000 kg worth of crew meals a year to keep their hungry colleagues’ ship shape and ready for work.

Mind-blowing.

Video: Is Lurssen Superyacht DILBAR The World's Largest Yacht?

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Oliver Pearson   19 May 2016

Following the success of her sea trials in Bremen earlier this year, the brand new 156m/512ft motor yacht DILBAR from Lurssen has been delivered to her owner. In his latest video, yacht spotter Nicholas Canepa captured the moment she arrived in the Mediterranean .

The arrival of DILBAR in the Mediterranean has this week posed the question: ‘is DILBAR the largest yacht in the world?’.

In an interview earlier this year, Peter Lurssen stated that superyacht DILBAR would be the largest yacht in terms of size, not length, which is measured in gross tonnage.

With this in mind, DILBAR should pip the 155m/509ft motor yacht ‘Al Said’ , the current largest yacht in the world which was also delivered from Lurssen in 2008- In terms of length, the 180m/591ft superyacht AZZAM  remains the world's largest yacht.

In the latest footage of DILBAR - shot as she prepared to refuel in Gibraltar- viewers are able to get a much better impression of her sheer scale and harmonious exterior lines.

What’s more, as a popular refueling destination for superyachts which have departed from Northern European shipyards, enthusiasts can also expect to see the 70m/230ft Heesen motor yacht ‘Galactica Super Nova’ in Gibraltar in the very near future.

Towards the end of the video, viewers are able to get a greater look at not only the aft deck, but also the impressive twin staircases which descend to the swim platform from both the port and starboard sides.

Her distinctive and eye-catching exterior has been designed in collaboration with the acclaimed Espen Oeino , marking the continued strength of an award-winning partnership which stretches back further than twenty years.

Tonnage wise, she will be the biggest in the world, with amazing features Peter Lurssen, Lurssen CEO

Whilst her exterior profile has been heavily photographed leading up to her delivery, the interior design of motor yacht DILBAR remains something of a mystery.

Carried out by Andrew Winch , a British designer with a predilection for sharp and contemporary aesthetics, there’s every reason to believe that DILBAR possesses a similarly outstanding arrangement courtesy of the award-winning designer with a long history of working with Lurssen.

Indeed, his previous work on the 87m/285ft luxury yacht ACE and the 90m/295ft superyacht ‘Phoenix 2’ should leave little doubt about the wonders Winch and his team are capable of installing on larger yachts.

In order to find out more about Lurssen superyachts, and particularly those which are similar to M/Y DILBAR, please get in touch with your preferred charter broker .

Alternatively, take a look at yachts similar to DILBAR which are available for charter .

Watch: 90m Lürssen superyacht Ice collides into 31m Numarine yacht in Turkey

The 90.1-metre Lürssen superyacht Ice has collided with the 31.1-metre Numarine yacht A.Mey in Yalıkavak, Turkey.

Dramatic footage taken of the incident shows Ice 's bow strike A.Mey with enough force to turn the yacht. The extent of damage is unknown but A.Mey 's aft section appears to be badly damaged. The yacht was anchored when the collision took place.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kevin Koenig (@theyachtfella)

Ice was delivered by the German shipyard in 2005 to a design by Tim Heywood . According to BOATPro , she was most recently listed for sale in 2023. Her last known asking price of €100,000,000 made her one of the most expensive yachts for sale at the time, with highlights that include a large helipad and five bathtubs carved from solid limestone. She won Motor Yacht of the Year at the 2006 World Superyacht Awards .

Delivered in 2007, A.Mey belongs to Numarine's 102 RPH series with exterior design owed to Tommaso Spadolini .

The cause of the incident is unknown. BOAT International will update the story as it develops.
