The German yacht builder Lürssen has earned an international reputation as the specialist in exclusive , bespoke yachts of outstanding engineering mastery . The privately run company was founded in 1875 and remains solely in the hands of the fourth generation of the Lürssen family . Innovation has always been one of the most important driving forces in the company ’ s history . In 1886 Lürssen built the first motorboat of the world together with Gottlieb Daimler . It is , therefore , not surprising that Lürssen is now also building the first Lürssen yacht with fuel cell technology for a pioneering and technology driven client . The fuel cell flanks the conventional generators and represents a giant step towards launching an emission free Lürssen yacht . This innovative technology makes it possible to anchor emission-free for 15 days or cruise 1000 miles at slow speed .
Lürssen remains very discreet when it comes to yachts under construction or its clients . To promote the sustainable technology of the future , Lürssen has developed an innovative , climate-neutral yacht model called Alice , which shows what a Lürssen yacht could look like in the future . ALICE is an emergence into a new era . Right now she remains a model , but one that paves the way showcasing a fraction of Lurssen ’ s reality in movement .
The yacht concept is inspired by the Lewis Carroll ’ s 1965 classic novel , Alice ’ s Adventure in Wonderland . Measuring 322 feet / 98 meters the superyacht feature five fantastical decks driven by state-of-the-art design as well as honest and heartfelt ecological responsibility
