Lürssen Refit
Lürssen's refit and service business, based mainly at the Hamburg Steinwerder yard it took over with Blohm+Voss in 2016, with further refit capacity at Rendsburg. It concentrates on yachts over 60 m, and the Hamburg site has floating docks, a large dry dock and more than 2 km of pier. Lürssen sold its naval arm NVL, including the Blohm+Voss brand, to Rheinmetall in 2025–26 to focus on yachts; all yacht refit at Steinwerder is Lürssen's, and it shares the docks with the naval yard Blohm+Voss.
