The Lürssen Fleet: Every Superyacht Built in Bremen
Over 150 years and more than 170 superyacht deliveries, Lürssen has established a fleet record that no other yard can match for scale or consistency. From the 58-metre motor yachts of the 1990s to the 180-metre giants of the 2020s, this is the complete record of Lürssen-built superyachts — specifications, delivery year, and current status where known.

Recent deliveries (2018–present)
The last decade has seen Lürssen deliver some of the most complex and ambitious private vessels ever built. The 156-metre Dilbar (2016), the 136-metre Flying Fox (2019), and the cluster of 85–90-metre deliveries in 2021 — Ace, Luminance, Madsummer — represent the yard at the height of its capability. Each vessel was built to a bespoke brief, on an individual naval architecture platform, with independent exterior and interior designers appointed by the owner.
For detailed profiles of the most celebrated recent deliveries, see the Lürssen famous yachts guide. For the full fleet context and delivery history across all eras, the table below covers the primary publicly known vessels.
This table represents publicly confirmed vessels. Lürssen builds a number of yachts under strict confidentiality agreements — vessel names, specifications, and owners are not disclosed until or unless the owner chooses to make them public. The full delivered fleet is therefore larger than the publicly available record suggests.
For classification details on individual vessels, the DNV yacht register provides public records for classed vessels.
Notes on build quality and construction
Every vessel in the Lürssen fleet shares a common thread: the yard's approach to engineering. Lürssen does not offer semi-custom platforms in the conventional sense — each vessel begins from first principles, with the naval architecture designed around the owner's brief. This makes the fleet extraordinarily diverse in profile and layout, but consistent in the quality of the underlying engineering.
Hull material is typically steel for the hull and aluminium for the superstructure — the combination that maximises structural rigidity at the hull while minimising topside weight. Classification is standard to DNV GL or Lloyd's Register. Stabilisation systems — both active fin stabilisers and, increasingly, zero-speed gyroscopic systems — are specified on all new builds. Range and fuel capacity vary significantly by vessel brief, with explorer-oriented builds carrying fuel for trans-ocean passages without refuelling.
Lürssen yachts appear on the brokerage market infrequently — most owners retain their vessels for extended periods, and the bespoke nature of each build means that secondary market transactions require careful matching of buyer requirements to the specific vessel. When Lürssen yachts do come to market, they are typically handled by specialist brokers with deep knowledge of the fleet.
