Today

The latest generation of Lürssen superyachts boasts improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions as well as a reduction in noise levels.

In 2025 Lürssen will deliver their first yacht with fuel cell technology for a pioneering client. The fuel cell is flanking the conventional generators and is a big step to an emission free Lürssen yacht. The innovative company does not however lose sight of its heritage and takes care of the minute details with many elements of their vessels being completed by hand and employing the skills of unique craftsmen to deliver a yacht that every owner dreams of.

The company lends its name to some of the yachting world’s most recognisable vessels including the motor yachts Carinthia VII, Pelorus and Octopus. Lürssen is also perhaps most renowned for bringing the world the largest superyacht to date, the 180.6m Azzam and also the biggest yacht by gross tonnage, the 156 m Dilbar.
