BEHIND THE SCENES WITH PETER LÜRSSEN OF LÜRSSEN YACHTS

[@FLGurl]

Please extend a most gracious thank you to Peter Lurssen. I thank you for interviewing him. His wealth of knowledge in this industry it vast and I respect him for all of his efforts. Just wow.

[@thomasw5430]

David, I know when you announced this video was coming, you said you knew it would not get the numbers of the other videos, what a shame! I love these videos, I enjoy seeing the history behind these brands. To keep a yard running for this long is truly amazing. I enjoy hearing about the planning for the future and how they got started in the private yacht business. My thanks to Peter Lurssen for agreeing to this interview, and to you for bringing it to us.

What an extraordinary and amasing interview. PL is such a down to earth great guy. I wish many more companies had CEO's like him. I can imagine it being a pleasure to be able to work in a company with management consisting of people like him.

[@YachtBuoy]

I cannot think of a business that I would rather be involved in than a business that produces some of the most beautiful works of naval architecture that have ever sailed the seven seas. The story behind Lurssen is fascinating. I can imagine how proud the founders of Lurssen would be if they could see the shipyard as it is now in 2022. A superyacht is more than just a boat; it is a masterpiece of naval architecture and a wonder of modern-day engineering. I can only imagine how proud the Lurssen family is of what the yard has achieved.

[@woody41165]

That was an amazing interview, I would have loved to hear more of Peter talk as I think he is a fascinating person with some incredible stories to tell. Great work David and thank you very much.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

It was a genuine pleasure.

[@rudideghelt]

I love the simplicity of this gentleman and the passion for his family history. The little details of his life. The way he remembers his family and the happiness of his youth. I love. I wish them to be the first to build a yacht of this type. Thank you David, it's a very great interview, with a very endearing gentleman. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

Fascinating interview. The story of Lürssen is an interesting one, and the forefathers would be so proud to see the company now. Thanks David, for bringing us this 😊

[@adriversum8460]

Peter Lürssen, ein absoluter Ehrenmann. Ein Mensch, der andere unterstützt und dabei keinerlei Interesse hat, sich selbst zu inszenieren. Ich bin sehr dankbar, dass ich diesen besonderen Menschen persönlich kennenlernen durfte. Alles Gute für sie, Herr Lürssen und ihre Familie.

[@michaelhoelzl5882]

Great Interview!! We've got a wooden Lürssen comuter from the 20's, Restoration starts this Summer. Hope we could get access to the Lürssen archive.....

[@omarblackman7208]

Excellent work David,Diving right in to the deep end with Yachts .Your Boat chanel is great ,videos as well .keep it up David .

[@rchin75]

Great interview and an amazing story. Thanks!

[@chrish2996]

Hi David and Peter. An insight into the heritage and history of Lürssen. His passion for the maritime industry is the use of innovation and technological development in fuel cells and the reduction of carbon emissions. Great video thanks 😊

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks for watching Chris.

[@grondhero]

Thank you for this interview. Peter Lurssen has always shown himself to be humble and very knowledgeable. I appreciate these videos. If Lurssen Yachts is building a 45+ meter boat, I'd love to see it. ;)

[@derlangsame4471]

Never knew that Lürssen is related with Gottlieb Daimler. What a history. Great content!!

[@mojojojo_BB]

Love these Lurssen episodes, always something to learn from hearing Peter speak. I do wish you had asked him one more question, when does he think it will be possible to build the first full fuel cell yacht (if there was a client willing to do it).

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

They are already building the first one. He says so in 'Lürssen Live' from April 2021: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ_YfXWVjtCJmq8

[@johngauntlett4915]

David, fantastic interview and very informative.

[@DrDuu]

Very interesting and pleasant interview of the „Vegesacker Junge“ Peter.

[@darkwaternorth2867]

Excellent interview and video what an amazing history of Lurssen ,the first motor boat wow great company.

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

Thanks for watching. I really enjoyed producing this video!

[@dunkie976]

What a great story and insight to the company, and what a decent well grounded guy that could have approached it as an entitlement but really put in the work and the hours to keep the company driving forward. I'd love to visit one of the yards and see some of the build stage. Great work guys 👏👏👏

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

The only word for their shipyards, is “breathtaking”. Sadly most of the projects are so confidential it’s difficult to get footage of them.

[@dunkie976]

@@Yachtsforsaleblog yeah I bet, and that mystery really adds to the magic. I'm guessing you have all sorts of NDA's to sign when you go to these places.

[@TimHPop776]

Wonderful interview David.

[@frankthetank9332]

Thank you 🙏

[@lgriestra]

Very interesting interview. I wish they build smaller yachts! Thanks, David.

[@chrismoffitt6713]

What a gentleman

[@Yachtsforsaleblog]

He really is. All the employees at Lürssen speak highly of him too.

[@kostaskopelos5669]

Its always so pleasant to watch your interviews with PL. Seems to be such an assertive person. Would be very nice if in a future video you manage a tour in Luerssen's shipyard facility.

[@skiingfast1]

I enjoyed how he told about the start of the Lurssen company.

[@stevenzobel4517]

Thanks for sharing this video it was vary interesting

[@Farang_Lifestyles]

Peter Lurssen has an amazing view on the oceanic CO2 emissions and that he IS doing his part in design/develop a powercell vessel... and assisting in marine biology projects and education... very interesting to hear...

[@SamBirchenough]

what a graceful interview. enjoyed very much

[@pacificpearlsailing]

His first yacht “Be Mine” is stunning and an absolutely timeless design. It s been based in Phuket for the last year and the modern design still competes with the newest yacht !

[@billfournier1043]

Amazing interview! Thanks for sharing!!

[@privatesecurityafrica4129]

Amaizing!!! Very cool...

[@cbhlookout821]

Great interview David , very interesting

[@kevindowd7769]

Excellent interview…

[@MIDTOWNE1]

Fascinating interview

[@bubaks2]

Great stuff David.

[@C3c1l]

I meet Peter couple time, great guy! I think he speak 4 language :)

[@x-marks-x5137]

Great interview, hopefully you can do more of these with many more captains of industry in the future! (and preferably at least +1 hour long interviews!)

[@iffn]

Very interesting, especially when looking at the future. I do have a question though. Why use Hydrogen and not Sodium Ion Batteries as a clean alternative to fossil fuels on ships? Compared to Hydrogen, they are much easier to implement and might return more energy per mass when looking at the entire system. Due to the easy availability of the base resources, they are also much more affordable and less harmful to the environment compared to Lithium Ion Batteries. I assume their energy density does not matter as much on ships compared to cars, phones and planes. They also don’t seem to at risk of explosions or fire.

[@rogerpaice4806]

Experience, expertise, commitment, technical innovation, owners who invest, shipyard craft, designers and team work, a love of the ocean and an eye on the future of our planet, thats what makes Peter Lürssen & company continue to keep raising the bar. Roger Paice. Sea Safe.

[@seantwomey396]

What a wonderful family history! My only objection was the comment by the young whippersnapper from 1959 describing those of us born in 1956 as old. It is easy to trust Pride in shipbuilding quality from someone born to the industry.

[@rkm237]

Fantastic video. No closing comments but well done nonetheless.

[@sjwilloughby-greene8214]

Respect. Big fan. ⚓

[@emanuelarnold4929]

Lürßen❤️

[@FVever]

Absolutely Genuis.

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

[@Imaveryniceguy]

"Were you born in the ship building industry?". Being a gentleman, he started with the family history, 150 years ago. Me, being and arse, I would just answer "Yes. 4 generations". But that's probably the difference between him and me and why I am listening every word he says with my mouth open.

[@gmb858]

I respect Mr. Lurssen's professionalism and achievements. Perhaps he or maybe one of the readers here can explain to me the role of photosynthesis in the processing of cO2. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates OXYGEN as a byproduct. I don't see where the "emissions" of Carbon dioxide are harmful. It is a component of plant food. Carbon MONOXIDE is poisonous and is emitted from burning carbon-based fuels. Taken in sufficient quantity it is lethal. These are the emissions that must be reduced. Mr. Lurssen's yachts more than likely spew out more carbon monoxide than carbon dioxide. I can support that effort. But cO2? It creates oxygen- air that we breathe... good for all living things.

[@stevegray1308]

You can see here that the heads of these companies are thinking hard about how environmental changes will affect them, and what they can do before it hurts them.

[@RobertBrown-mz7yp]

Giga yacht dry dock technologies and for other purposes, non military related. Slow, meticulous and methodical is important. Very confidential given the sensitivity of the issues. There are not that many Giga yacht dry docks widely available for Giga yachts. And yes. Not that very many places to park a Giga yacht that is economically friendly to Giga yachts. I’m listening.

[@idanceforpennies281]

He had me right up to the point when he started talking his climate change bollocks.

[@clifbradley]

I think people in yachting do more for the ocean environment. They raise more money, more awareness and do more to push ideas about preserving the ocean environment. You want to clean up,the oceans, start with fish farms, drag netters and commercial net fishing using gill nets. Let's also eliminate Asian fishing fleets going after sharks for fins, whaling fleets, and commercial boats fishing in protected waters of countries that don't have the resources to go after these boats. If people were able to sell their 30-70 foot boat to the government for a fair price and also get a tax break, those boats could be donated or sold to other countries that lack boats to go after fishermen in their waters. They could sleep on the boat in comfort for long patrols, arm the boats and have cargo space to confiscate nets. You take the 'production manager' as prisoner and he sleeps in the crew area. Those guys are literal slave drivers. Anyways, I'm ranting. But yachting isn't as bad for the ocean as commercial fishing is.
