German Precision on the High Seas

Germany’s leading position in the construction of the world’s largest yachts is based on the perfect combination of engineering excellence, shipyard capacity, supplier quality, and skilled craftsmanship. The complexity of large yachts requires outstanding teamwork among all parties involved. The working group “Deutsche Yachten” promotes this collaboration, leading to innovations and improved processes. The winners are the costumers, because in Germany yachts are built and equipped by people who are all experts and specialists in their fields. Consequently all German-built yachts bear the same “Made in Germany” quality label.
