Shipyard · New build
Blohm+Voss
Hamburg shipyard, now a naval yard, that built several very large yachts, including Savarona (1931), A (2008) and Eclipse (2010). The Blohm+Voss name went with Lürssen's naval arm NVL, which Rheinmetall bought (deal completed 1 March 2026), and Rheinmetall presents it as a naval new-build yard with no yacht work. Yacht refit at the same Steinwerder docks is run by Lürssen (see 'lurssen-refit').
