Dr. Herbert Aly · CEO + Managing Partner Blohm + Voss
We are very proud to present our new builds, and to welcome you into the exclusive world of Blohm + Voss yachts. Each superyacht we build is the realisation of an individual's dream, of a fantastic, focussed vision. She is designed and constructed around the owner’s wishes, with the owner's lifestyle taking centre stage. We work with the world's leading designers and will work with you and the designer of your choice.
Our custom-made yachts make their presence felt wherever they go. They are for bold owners who are not afraid to demand true innovation for their unique needs. Design and engineering are all-embracing for us, with the focus on usage. The Palladium is one fine example of where Blohm + Voss adds tremendous value. She is an extraordinary, multi-purpose luxury craft, a platform, giving joy to all who get close to appreciate her form or who come aboard to play with her myriad assets.
Recent developments have us very optimistic and excited about the future. A change of ownership in early 2012 brought Star Capital Partners on board, and we are very pleased with the commitment they have shown to our yachting business. They fully understand the strength and reputation of the Blohm + Voss brand. This financial security paves the way for more innovation and expansion while providing the long-term stability our clients expect.
We are at your service and we are ready to build your next superyacht. Experience the Blohm + Voss Difference!
From royal families and heads of states to industrial leaders and entrepreneurs, our clients have long benefited from partnering with one of the greatest brands of the marine industry.
