Discretion is a matter of honour. Bremen shipbuilder Lürssen is a 
global market leader in the construction of mega yachts. With a 
clientele as exclusive as the boats it builds, the company publishes 
neither pictures of the yachts nor the names of the customers if con­fidentiality is desired. But this much may be revealed: the tradition-steeped shipyard built the world’s first motorboat in 1886. The company gained international renown thanks to the Lürssen Effect, which uses 
a special hydrodynamic feature to improve a boat’s handling. Today, the family-run business has a 1,400-strong workforce.
