LÜRSSEN YACHTS REFIT - WALK THROUGH TOUR!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2019
- Lürssen Yachts are well known for having constructed some of the world's largest and prestigious superyachts. Behind the scenes though there is an industry of mammoth proportions, superbly organised by a team that ensures that their size does not prevent each client from receiving bespoke service.
I had the privilege of taking a look at their refit facility in Hamburg as I searched for the 110 meter yacht "Jubilee", newly arrived for a one year refit!

Jubilee was the first 50m + superyacht I had even seen in my life. It was moored outside Oceanco in preparation for sea trials just after it was built. This was two days after arriving in the Netherlands to begin my design internship at Feadship the following week. Seeing how these superyachts are designed & built is nothing short of mind blowing. Coming from an aviation background, yachts were a whole new world for me. Grateful to have had this opportunity.
Also, Lurssen's yard is very impressive! I've never seen a shipyard look so organized and just plain clean! They're really an incredible boatbuilder.
@Lino Andrade And Benetti builds fabulous yachts in their fabulous yard!
Paul Allen was one of our bigger clients, during one particularly memorable business luncheon in 1999(?) he regaled us all with a presentation on his concept of the Octopus. During her construction we'd get updates every first Thursday of the month. The science world will benefit from The Octopus and her capabilities. The rest of us just get to enjoy her beauty.
David Earnest - They are selling her :-/ I hope the new owner will be a great and fun person..
Dream job! Covering Lurssen vast complex
M/Y Octopus. So big it has its own time zone. (Great video!)
he who dies has the most toys wins..... uh wait. pretend bond didnt win
So cool! Lurssen has always been one of my favorites! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful video. Love the way you present your content and share with us your vast knowledge of ships and shipbuilders. As always, another excellent video.
Very nice video. It looks like a TV production but very short! Excellent job.
Perfect video!!!, great information. And a bit of fun
Thanks David!! Incredible to get visual access to something like this!
That's awesome! Just think, they can easily put a pro' football field inside each of those buildings. Thank's again for such an awesome video.
Awesome preview of some of their facilities! I will be visiting them this September prior to Cannes, extremely excited about it
Loved this video. Very interesting. Would be awesome if you could do a tour like this of the Feadship shipyard.
I'm convinced David! All I need now is a yacht.
I wonder if Octopus is still owned by the Allen estate. Would love to see a video tour of my favorite ship.
It is now up for sale around 330 million USD
It's still listed on Frasers and Burgess web sites, as well as their latest magazine ads.
@@tl9785 I'd find it difficult to raise that sort of money
I clicked this video right after an octopus video and I'm wondering if these vessels come with infirmaries
I saw one. It might be in fraser
A very impressive well equipped facility.
If Jubilee is refurbished by Lürsen it’s a slap in the face for Oceanco, the builders of the ship.
Oceanco only has one drydock. At the time taken up by "Dreamboat" probably.
William Drijver Jubilee is just a couple of years old. What kind of refurbishment would take so much time that it couldn't be planned a year ago?
@@anastasiosgeorgiadis7741 Completely gutting it I assume. It was built for the Emir of Qatar who died just as the yacht was completed. It looked like an Arabic palace inside. It was bought by Stan Kroenke (who owns the LA Rams) and his wife who is a member of the Walton family. Think they wanted something different stylistically.
Love your videos, but you should've gave acknowledgement to the late Paul Allen, former owner of the octopus. He was a great philanthropist, owner of the Seattle Seahawks and a awesome human being. I've built many of his projects in Seattle and he's kept a lot of money in that City for blue collar people like myself to make a living. Anyways thanks for your videos and continue keeping us informed. 🛥️⛵
Wow! What a huge place. I would have loved to see where Bismark was launched especially since this is 75 years for D Day. All in all though, excellent. Thank you and have a great day.
Quite an impressive shipyard indeed. Thanks for the video.
Btw. Amazing filming and editing. Well done!
Great job David!
*HOLY MOTHER OF STEEL!*
Another fantastic video David
Hard to believe Jubilee needs "refitting"- she's practically brand new! And gorgeous too, imho. I'm sure the new decor is of the same caliber as when new but I really loved her "old" look. Guess I should have bought her when I had the chance!
I live in Iowa. I love your videos.
what an intro!! wow!
Excellent stuff!
Very cool.
Brilliant insider look at the scale of these fabrication units.
What a great channel this is, I've watch the entire back log of videos the last two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Well done. Now what can you offer me yacht wise, I got about £3 to spend :) Keep up the great content so I can continue to dream on :) Cheers
Great Video David.
Good yachts.
That’s building yachts on a grand scale.
its like a city within a city, wow
Awesome and great vlogs
Amazing video
Hahaha I guess we are just going to have to wait 12 months for the end of this video. No doubt you'll keep us busy till then 👍.
My uncle works at Lürssen as a sales manager. Sadly hes not selling yachts, but rather he is negotiating deal with other nations on defense contracts. I also used to work for them during holidays. Its a nice company to be with.
Great job on this video!!! Can you do a similar video on Amels?
Hi David, When did you film this? Solandge arrived in Canary Wharf on Friday. Its really great to see more and more superyachts using the Wharf as their London destination.
I did, however, note some rust bubbling under the paint at the end of her starboard accommodation ladder, which was being used as the gangway - so Lurssen missed a bit in the refit!
Massive massive massive. The Germans do know their stuff.
Great vid still waiting for a nordhaven vid
Outstanding video. I feel like I’ve been shown something I shouldn’t have seen, like Area 51. Shame we’ll never see a facility of this scale and complexity in the U.S.
didn't see any boats... lame..
There are several far larger such facilities in the US. Thing is, they build commercial ships of varying types or military vessels. Admittedly, the US is sadly lacking when it comes to superyacht yards, that much is true.
Time to start a TV series guys!
Jubilee is so new. Why is she undergoing such an extensive refit?
She was sold so you could assume the new owners wanted to personalize her to their liking
Google for Jubilee interior photos and you will realize why....
She’s a beautiful boat but madly eccentric. I’m gonna guess she’s losing all the fake decks to clean up her lines and gain tons of technical space, storage, etc.
Does Paul Allen's family/trust still own Octopus? He love his boats!
Yes, his sister owns it, as well all his other stuff.
@@teojorsin It's been on the market for a year at €295,000,000
@@michaelzdanis3979 sorry, didn't know that. Thought it wasn't on the market for so long.
Very interesting video👍🏻😀
Lürssen
My Grandfather his Father all my uncles they all worked there most as welders Ill work there hopefully too when Im done with my apprenticeship
It’s so nice
Amazing facility. Does this mean Blohm And Voss doesn’t exist any more or they just sold this facility.
Blohm&Voss is still existing of course. It's just owned and runned by Lürssen now. They even saved the name, it's still called Blohm&Voss, not Lürssen Hamburg or something like that. Too traditional.
01:46 Blohm und Foss
Not "blummnwos".
The letter "V" is pronounced like an "F" in almost all German words. This includes the name "Voss".
It is wonderful to see the craftsmanship of these boats. At the same time, we should make preparations to eat the rich.
The fact that this company paid you to do this means your invaluable to them and us
Golden
Probably no. 1 yard.
5:30 is it mayan queen at the left?
Didn’t Blohm & Voss help Adolf Hitler quite a bit during the second match against the Germans? Great video, getting better and better. The humourious scene of the borrowed bike worked well.
Every big shipyard in Germany was building warships during that time, even Lürssen. That is nothing special. There is even an articel on Wikipedia about the "Lürssen effect", a special hull design for fast military boats in world war 2.
I agree.
Wow one year for a refit?
Is that normal?
🌼♥️
i was very disapionted i never saw a glimps of the inside of a ship
Did the worker whose bike you stole ever get it back? :D
The search for Jubilee never delivers. Is Lurssen Yachts is the same way?
So a nearly new Gigayacht from one of the most reknown shipyards in the world is now refitted at Lürssen?That shows indeed the reputation of our German yachts builders, which seems to be even higher than the outstanding dutch ones.
Or Dutch yards had no capacity / no drydock available
I'm guessing Paul Allen's family didn't really want its location to be outed, although reasonably difficult to hide her. Interesting what will be her future.
There seems to be a gap in your history lesson. What were they doing at that shipyard, say... early-mid 20th century?
He did mention Bismark...
Shipyards build warships in wartimes. No need to fill another 10 minutes with this exclusive news
New Subscriber !! 👋. In August 2021 he would be interested in buying a megayacht for 500 million dollars to 1 Billion dollars. I speak seriously, without jokes or games.
Americans usually have a different taste than arabs, so the Jubilee "refit" will be a new interior, partial new interior layout, and a nicer hull / superstructure color than the qatari had chosen
The title is a little misleading - I was expecting to see a walk through of an actual yacht mid-refit.
Not sure how the title could be any more accurate... he didn't mention a specific boat name. You just didn't understand.
hall2jc it could be way more accurate. If you’re having a walk through of the facilities, say so in the title.
That is the name of the facility!! Lol
hall2jc and if he was actually having a walkthrough of one of their yachts being refitted he may entitle the video - Lurssen yacht refit - a walkthrough tour. Do you see where the potential for confusion is yet, or are you still insisting on being pedantic?
@@drloppy I dont even see why you give a shit, you watched the video didn't you? Are you only here for yachts tours? If so piss off!!
А. Мне. Можно. Такой. Караблик
Second
You’re selling boats but stealing bicycles?
Jubilee is a new yacht what do's it need doing this early in it's life and what a company.
1st ha
Well done!
What’s the point of this video?🤨
what do you want with JUBILLEE that yacht absolutely sucks
What a lot of crap, it's a man riding a bike and has no idea about the yachts. He was invited to see .... nothing but old bits and pieces.
