Rendsburg, Germany, June 2, 2020 – German shipyard NOBISKRUG celebrates a landmark 115 years since its 1905 inception. Recognised today as one of the world’s foremost builders of spectacular fully custom superyachts, the shipyard is built upon a solid foundation of German naval history.
Responsible for some of the most challenging and visionary superyachts ever built, its brand pedigree dates back to the beginning of the Nobiskrug story, when in 1958 post World War II, it delivered 93 m cargo vessel Bleichen.
Since that time, Nobiskrug has built naval training ships (138m Deutschland, 1963); car, train and passenger ferries; dive support vessels (Seabex One, 1981); icebreaker, research and supply vessels (Polarstern, 1982). The year 2000 marked a turning point for the yard, however, when it delivered its first superyacht – 92m Tatoosh – which remains today one of the world’s most famous.
From award-winning 68m Sycara V to the striking 74m Mogambo, and from 143m industry changing Sailing Yacht A to the environmentally innovative 80m Artefact, the Rendsburg facility never ceases to strive for boundary-pushing, architecturally challenging, aesthetically arresting projects. Even in the current climate, its order book is full, and its future is more than healthy.
Nobiskrug’s managing director, Johan Valentijn, comments: “Central to Nobiskrug’s success is the integral contribution made by all of our valued employees, with whom we share this momentous 115th Anniversary, and all of our esteemed clients, partners and suppliers. Today we stand together, stronger than ever, and 115 years young.”
About NOBISKRUG
Celebrating its 115th birthday, Nobiskrug has been involved in shipbuilding since before the term superyacht was even coined. Drawing upon its extensive experience in building seagoing vessels, NOBISKRUG turned to yacht building completing its inaugural project in 2000 with the 92m M/Y Tatoosh. Since then, Nobiskrug delivered a select portfolio of innovative custom-built superyachts, reflecting the company’s pledge to concentrate on one single project for one single client and build superyachts that will last for generations to come.
The shipyard can cover a building range from 60 to 426 meters, which is the maximum size of the dock available. Over 900 in-house employees work at the shipyard’s two facilities in Northern Germany, where they have developed and built numerous internationally award-winning superyachts. With the delivery of the Sailing Yacht A, the German shipyard once again confirmed their powerful presence among the leading superyacht builders, while its latest delivery – the high-tech and environmentally- conscious, hybrid superyacht Artefact – cements NOBISKRUG as a true innovator in its field.
