The history of Lürssen Yachts dates back to 1875 when Friedrich Lürssen established a small boatyard in Bremen-Vegesack, Germany. The shipyard started modestly, focusing on the construction and repair of fishing boats and river barges. However, Friedrich's commitment to quality and his unwavering pursuit of perfection soon garnered attention and propelled the business forward. By the early 20th century, Lürssen Yachts had already begun to expand its horizons, transitioning from commercial vessels to motor yachts. The company's reputation for precision engineering, impeccable craftsmanship, and attention to detail began to attract wealthy clients who sought the ultimate in luxury and sophistication.

The German yard Lürssen is practically synonymous with the term superyacht. Lürssen has grown to be one of the top superyacht builders in the world.
