Peters Werft GmbH

Peters Werft GmbH, based in Wewelsfleth, Germany, has a history in shipbuilding that dates back to 1913. The shipyard is situated on the River Stör, near its confluence with the Elbe, providing access to open waters. Over its operational history, Peters Werft has been involved in a range of shipbuilding activities, including the construction of various vessel types. In the early 2000s, the shipyard broadened its focus to include the conversion, refitting, and repair of yachts, in addition to its traditional commercial shipbuilding activities. This strategic expansion allowed the company to apply its shipbuilding expertise to the yachting sector.

The shipyard premises include facilities for vessel construction, maintenance, and repair. These include slipways, dry docks, and outfitting berths, alongside workshops for various trades such as steelwork, outfitting, and painting. Peters Werft has undertaken significant projects involving the lengthening and conversion of superyachts, adapting existing vessels to new specifications or extending their operational life and capacity. The company emphasizes a comprehensive approach to projects, handling aspects from initial planning and engineering through to the final execution and delivery.

Peters Werft operates as a privately owned entity and maintains its headquarters at its primary production site in Wewelsfleth. The shipyard's workforce includes experienced professionals across various shipbuilding disciplines, contributing to its capability in handling complex projects. While significant new yacht construction projects have been part of its past, its recent focus has heavily leaned towards the service aspect of the yacht industry, particularly for larger vessels. The yard's location offers strategic advantages for vessels navigating the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions, making it a point of call for maintenance and modification work.
