Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven is one of Germany’s long-standing heavy-industry shipyards with a modern reputation in high-complexity yacht work. Founded in 1857 and based in Bremerhaven, it evolved from a workshop serving Norddeutscher Lloyd into a facility shaped by the era of trans-Atlantic liners and large-scale engineering. Today, its yacht activity sits within a broader shipyard capability, which is precisely why owners and project teams have historically turned to Lloyd Werft for builds and conversions that demand industrial-scale planning and discretion.

What sets the yard apart is infrastructure built for big dimensions and tight control. Its dock lineup includes Kaiserdock 2 at 1,099’1” (335m), supported by additional dry and floating dock options, plus an outfitting pier measured in kilometers. Alongside the hard capacity, Lloyd Werft emphasizes structured project management, careful scheduling, and supplier oversight, a practical mindset that matters when a refit window is measured in weeks, not seasons.

In the yacht world, the name is most often linked to one-off explorer projects rather than series production. The 374’8” (114.2m) luna and 458’4” (139.7m) solaris show the scale and ambition associated with the yard’s recent superyacht output, while concept studies such as Albatross point to continued design-led thinking aimed at the next generation of owners.
