What size yachts does Lürssen build?
Lürssen builds custom motor yachts from around 55m to over 180m, including many of the world's largest private yachts.
What maintenance and class survey cycles apply to Lürssen megayachts?
Lürssen megayachts follow flag and class requirements: typically annual class surveys, five-year special survey, and continuous ISM/SMS compliance. The shipyard recommends scheduled dry-dock and system overhauls; maintenance logs and DPA oversight are essential.
Does Lürssen require specific documentation for refit and warranty work?
Refit and warranty work at Lürssen or approved yards require build history, previous survey reports, and a clear maintenance record. The yard uses these to plan scope and ensure compliance with original specifications.
How does ISM Code compliance apply to Lürssen-operated superyachts?
Lürssen-delivered yachts over applicable size thresholds must hold valid ISM certification. A documented Safety Management System (SMS), Designated Person Ashore (DPA), and annual internal and external audits are required for flag and class.
