Blohm & Voss built its reputation over more than a century on the Elbe in Hamburg, first as a builder of commercial and naval vessels and, from the 1980s onward, as the yard owners went to when they wanted genuinely large, ocean-capable private yachts that no yacht-only builder could deliver. The scale of that output is well documented: vessels that, at delivery, ranked among the largest private yachts afloat, built on steel hulls engineered to naval-construction standards rather than production yacht norms.
This listing represents the class of vessel that heritage produces — a 90-to-100-metre explorer-configured motor yacht sourced through the Obsidian Helm Network, reflecting the specification, construction quality, and range capability typical of the yard's flagship output rather than a single advertised hull. Diesel-electric propulsion delivers the long-range, low-vibration cruising the design language demands, while the steel hull and naval architecture pedigree carry over directly from the yard's shipbuilding heritage.
Obsidian Helm sources vessels at this tier through a private network of brokers, owners, and yard relationships rather than open listings, and every introduction is vetted for structural and mechanical condition before it reaches a client's shortlist. A vessel of this scale and history is acquired through relationships, not a catalog — this listing is the starting point for that conversation.
