About Kusch Yachts
German Heritage Since 1981
Kusch Yachts was founded in 1981 by naval architect Claus Kusch at the historic Peters Werft yard in Wewelsfleth, Northern Germany. For over forty years the company has refined the craft of large‑yacht construction, marrying traditional shipbuilding skills with advanced engineering. This deep heritage anchors every project the yard undertakes today.
Precision‑Led Custom Design
Every Kusch commission starts with a blank sheet and the owner’s brief. In‑house naval architects, engineers and craftsmen work alongside leading exterior and interior studios as one integrated team, streamlining decisions and safeguarding quality. The result is a yacht that mirrors its owner’s lifestyle while meeting exacting German standards.
Landmark Builds That Define the Brand
The 133 m Al Mirqab, launched in 2008, remains a benchmark for volume and finish among the world’s largest private vessels. Subsequent deliveries such as the 101 m I Dynasty and the 65 m White Rose of Drachs underscore the yard’s ability to execute diverse design briefs for highly discerning clients.
Innovation & Sustainability in Practice
Technology drives progress at Kusch. I Dynasty runs on a Rolls‑Royce diesel‑electric propulsion package that lowers fuel burn and onboard noise. The yard’s refit specialists apply similar know‑how to modernise existing yachts, upgrading systems and exhausts so owners can meet evolving IMO Tier III emission limits with confidence.
