Lürssen Americas Anchors Presence with New Fort Lauderdale Office

Since establishing its Americas base in 2018, Lürssen has been closely tied to the transformation of Pier Sixty-Six, a premier marina development capable of accommodating yachts up to 122 metres, with 164 deep-water slips now setting the stage for year-round superyacht operations in Florida. 'When we first arrived, the vision for Pier Sixty-Six was just taking shape. Today, with the redevelopment complete, we have secured a pivotal vantage point to support our clients and the shipyard from concept through to long-term stewardship,' says Timothy Hamilton, Director of Lürssen Americas.

The new office offers holistic access to Lürssen’s world-class expertise in new builds, refits, and yacht management right from this prime Floridian gateway. Fort Lauderdale’s deep-rooted superyacht community is now even more tightly woven into the fabric of a 150-year legacy of German engineering excellence, a tradition Lürssen proudly celebrates this year as it marks its sesquicentennial jubilee.

With a workforce of 2,000 skilled artisans and engineers spread across three cutting-edge German shipyards, Lürssen continues to push boundaries, crafting bespoke yachts ranging from 60 to over 180 metres, and delivering landmark projects like the 2024 Motor Yacht of the Year, KISMET, to delighted American clients.

This expansion at Pier Sixty-Six heralds a new chapter in Lürssen’s Americas story: a fusion of heritage, innovation, and local presence designed to elevate the client journey. For owners and guests, it means direct access to the very pinnacle of superyacht construction and care, anchored in the vibrant beating heart of Fort Lauderdale’s maritime culture.
