LÜRSSEN YACHTS REFIT - WALK THROUGH TOUR!

Lürssen Yachts are well known for having constructed some of the world's largest and prestigious superyachts. Behind the scenes though there is an industry of mammoth proportions, superbly organised by a team that ensures that their size does not prevent each client from receiving bespoke service.
I had the privilege of taking a look at their refit facility in Hamburg as I searched for the 110 meter yacht "Jubilee", newly arrived for a one year refit!
Join me as I search for "Jubilee"!

Jubilee was the first 50m + superyacht I had even seen in my life. It was moored outside Oceanco in preparation for sea trials just after it was built. This was two days after arriving in the Netherlands to begin my design internship at Feadship the following week. Seeing how these superyachts are designed & built is nothing short of mind blowing. Coming from an aviation background, yachts were a whole new world for me. Grateful to have had this opportunity.

Also, Lurssen's yard is very impressive! I've never seen a shipyard look so organized and just plain clean! They're really an incredible boatbuilder.

Perfect video!!!, great information. And a bit of fun

Paul Allen was one of our bigger clients, during one particularly memorable business luncheon in 1999(?) he regaled us all with a presentation on his concept of the Octopus. During her construction we'd get updates every first Thursday of the month. The science world will benefit from The Octopus and her capabilities. The rest of us just get to enjoy her beauty.

Awesome preview of some of their facilities! I will be visiting them this September prior to Cannes, extremely excited about it

M/Y Octopus. So big it has its own time zone. (Great video!)

[igorstefanovski]

Very nice video. It looks like a TV production but very short! Excellent job.

Thanks David!! Incredible to get visual access to something like this!

[Donald_Shaw]

Thank you so much for the wonderful video. Love the way you present your content and share with us your vast knowledge of ships and shipbuilders. As always, another excellent video.

Loved this video. Very interesting. Would be awesome if you could do a tour like this of the Feadship shipyard.

[calvinh.]

That's awesome! Just think, they can easily put a pro' football field inside each of those buildings. Thank's again for such an awesome video.

I wonder if Octopus is still owned by the Allen estate. Would love to see a video tour of my favorite ship.

[kellingtonlink]

Quite an impressive shipyard indeed. Thanks for the video.

[kokomo]

I'm convinced David! All I need now is a yacht.

Love your videos, but you should've gave acknowledgement to the late Paul Allen, former owner of the octopus. He was a great philanthropist, owner of the Seattle Seahawks and a awesome human being. I've built many of his projects in Seattle and he's kept a lot of money in that City for blue collar people like myself to make a living. Anyways thanks for your videos and continue keeping us informed. 🛥️⛵

Wow! What a huge place. I would have loved to see where Bismark was launched especially since this is 75 years for D Day. All in all though, excellent. Thank you and have a great day.

[henrylees-buckley]

A very impressive well equipped facility.

Hard to believe Jubilee needs "refitting"- she's practically brand new! And gorgeous too, imho. I'm sure the new decor is of the same caliber as when new but I really loved her "old" look. Guess I should have bought her when I had the chance!
