Blohm+Voss, Germany
Blohm+Voss is a German shipyard specialising in yacht repair and refits. The shipyard originally built naval vessels before moving into yachting, later being acquired by Lürssen and becoming their specialist refit division. The yard operates seven docks in Hamburg, and with a local supplier network at their fingertips, they can swiftly procure spare parts or bring in specialist sub-contractors to deliver turnkey solutions, time-critical repairs, ship conversion and maintenance services.
The Blohm+Voss Story
Established in 1877 by Hermann Blohm and Ernst Voss, Blohm+Voss began by building iron steamships in Hamburg, pioneering berths for vessels up to 100 meters long. They later diversified, constructing a range of vessels, including the famous passenger liner Europa.
THE BLOHM+VOSS STORY
Blohm+Voss’ success started in the early part of the 20th century, building luxury superyachts for royalty and wealthy celebrities. One such yacht is 124m superyacht Savarona, launched in 1931 for an American heiress, later becoming the Turkish Presidential yacht.
The Lürssen Family
With the Second World War looming, Blohm+Voss diversified and started building warplanes and submarines, delivering the infamous German warship Bismark in 1940 - the biggest European warship of the time. In 2008, the shipyard delivered the enduring motor yacht A, a 119m superyacht. In 2016, the yard was acquired by Lürssen.
