History

A family owned and operated business, Lurssen has handed down its founder’s values to each successive generation, to be a leader in boating quality and performance.

Founded by Friedrich Lurssen in 1875, company has deep roots in German boating history. An entrepreneur and ambitious businessman, Friedrich founded the company when he was only 24 years old, beginning with a shipyard in Aumund, Germany. First specializing in wooden racing rowboats, Lurssen quickly made a name for himself in the boating world by building the world’s first motorboat in 1886.

Continued innovation throughout the years led to Lurssen building the world’s fastest motor yacht in 1927. A repeat trend setter in the boating world, Lurssen’s Carinthia VI set a new standard for modern yacht design and style. Releasing the world’s longest yacht and then the world’s largest in 2015 and 2016 respectively, Lurssen continues to push the boundaries of yacht building.
