The Blohm+Voss Story

Ambitious Beginnings

Established in 1877 by Hermann Blohm and Ernst Voss, Blohm+Voss began by building iron steamships in Hamburg, pioneering berths for vessels up to 100 meters long. They later diversified, constructing a range of vessels, including the famous passenger liner Europa.

Superyachts for the Elite

Blohm+Voss’ success started in the early part of the 20th century, building luxury superyachts for royalty and wealthy celebrities. One such yacht is 124m superyacht Savarona, launched in 1931 for an American heiress, later becoming the Turkish Presidential yacht.

Diversification

With the Second World War looming, Blohm+Voss diversified and started building warplanes and submarines, delivering the infamous German warship Bismark in 1940 - the biggest European warship of the time. In 2008, the shipyard delivered the enduring motor yacht A, a 119m superyacht. In 2016, the yard was acquired by Lürssen.
