Blohm+Voss stands apart in yacht building history, not as a volume producer, but as a shipyard trusted with the industry’s most ambitious ideas. Founded in 1877 in Hamburg, Germany, the yard built its reputation on naval and commercial ships long before turning its attention to superyachts. That background shaped everything that followed, particularly an uncompromising approach to engineering, scale, and structural integrity.

When Blohm+Voss entered the superyacht sector, it did so at the very top end. The shipyard became known for fully custom, large-scale projects, often exceeding 300’ (91.4m), at a time when such lengths were still exceptional. Each yacht was a one-off, designed and engineered specifically for its owner, with no reliance on production platforms or repeat tooling.

Yachts such as Eclipse, A, and Dubai placed Blohm+Voss firmly in a category of its own. These builds were not defined by trends, but by technical ambition and the confidence to execute projects few others would attempt. Today, Blohm+Voss yachts remain benchmarks for engineering-led construction and bespoke complexity.
