Shipyard · New build & refit
Lürssen
Bremen family group that has built most of the world's largest motor yachts, and 29 of the Top 100 by length per SYT. In 2025–26 it took over the insolvent Nobiskrug yard in Rendsburg and sold its naval arm NVL to Rheinmetall, so it now builds only yachts. Refit is a separate business run mainly out of Hamburg (see lurssen-refit row).
