Lürssen is a family-run German shipyard, founded in 1875 by Friedrich Lürssen in a boatbuilding workshop in Aumund, near Bremen. The yard’s own history page names the fourth generation, Friedrich and Peter Lürssen, and it is known for very large custom motor yachts.
We list three of them. The countdown below runs from #3, the smallest, up to #1, the biggest, ranked by listed length: CAPRI I at 192 feet, CORAL OCEAN at 238 feet and HUNTRESS at 248 feet. All three take 12 guests. Listed rates start from €450,000 per week, and a comparison table sits near the end. After the countdown we cover five more Lürssen yachts that we don’t list but can arrange through their central agents. The famous private Lürssens that can’t be chartered are covered in the section on the yard’s history.
Weekly charter fees for the three Lürssen yachts we list start from €450,000 per week (CAPRI I) and €495,000 per week (CORAL OCEAN) for the two priced in euros, and from $695,000 per week (HUNTRESS) for the one priced in dollars. These are the “from” figures on each listing, before APA and taxes; ask us for your dates.
Which Lürssen for Which Group
All three yachts on this page take 12 guests in six cabins or suites, so the choice comes down to length and what is on board. A starting point, using the listings and our onboard video; tell us your group and we will narrow it down.
| Your group | Size band | From this page |
|---|---|---|
| Six couples, one cabin each | 238 to 248 ft | CORAL OCEAN: six suites that are close in size. HUNTRESS: 6 staterooms, all with king beds, two of which convert to twins. |

| A family week built around the water toys | 238 to 248 ft | CORAL OCEAN: a waterslide, three Fliteboard e-foils, jet skis and Seabobs. HUNTRESS: a water park, an inflatable jellyfish pool, two Sea-Doos and two Seabob F5S. |
| A wellness week | 238 to 248 ft | CORAL OCEAN: a spa pool with a glass bottom on the sun deck. HUNTRESS: a spa room, a gym with a sauna and an indoor cinema. |
| A guest who uses a wheelchair | 248 ft | HUNTRESS: her listing says a large lift serves every deck except the sun deck and is wheelchair accessible. Ask us about boarding and cabin access. |
Lürssen at a glance
The yachts on this page show the yard’s range. CORAL OCEAN carries a Jon Bannenberg profile and CAPRI I was designed by Glade Johnson; the newest, KISMET, was delivered in 2024 at 122 metres, and the oldest, ALAYA, is a 1965 classic with a mahogany hull.
The yard’s history is long. By its own account Lürssen built the world’s first motorboat in 1886. In 2013 it delivered AZZAM, which it calls the world’s longest yacht, at 180.65 metres. DILBAR followed in 2016: Lürssen describes her as the largest motor yacht in the world by gross tonnage, 156 metres long and 15,917 tonnes, with a 25 metre swimming pool. Neither is offered for charter, so we mention them here only as context for what the yard can build.

Published yacht review
A serious wellness yacht — the main-deck gym opens right up to the outdoors, with a reformer, ice bath, bikes, and treadmill, backed by a Pilates instructor, personal trainer, and spa masseuse on staff. She’s fully equipped for diving too, and the onboard spa, complete with sauna, is one of the most complete you’ll find. Toy days go all out, with the full water-toy fleet deployed.

It does still have a master and a VIP, but the six cabins are quite even.
