Insider Monkey Score: 5

In 1905, Otto Stork established one of the best luxury yacht builders and shipyards in the world, the Nobiskrug shipyard, in Rendsburg, Germany. Nobiskrug, a ship and luxury yacht constructor, launched numerous unique vessels in the twentieth century, notably the 138M German navy training ship Deutschland. In 2005, the shipyard completed building a high-tech 160m superyacht shed to support future custom superyacht construction. With over 115 years of experience in building seagoing vessels, the company transitioned to yacht building in 2000 with the 92m Tatoosh. Since then, Nobiskrug has delivered a limited portfolio of unique custom-built superyachts, demonstrating the company’s commitment to building superyachts that will last decades. The delivery of Sailing Yacht A confirmed the German shipyard’s dominant position.
