Blohm + Voss

Blohm + Voss

In 1877, Hermann Blohm teamed up with fellow engineer Ernst Voss to create a small shipyard in Hamburg. Step by step their business expanded to become the biggest single shipyard establishment in Europe, putting up the world’s largest passenger ships. A hint of their upcoming superyacht business came at the turn of the century when they launched their first yacht for pleasure. Today Blohm+Voss is a world leader in the construction of luxury yachts, merchant vessels, offshore units and passenger ships. It has built some of the industry’s largest and most noteworthy yachts, including M/Y A.
