COMPANY HISTORY
Early years
The founder of AS Luksusjaht, Sven Lennart Alpstål, started building sailboats in Sweden back in 1979, at the time when he was in high school. The first sailboats were made in his home garage, after that he rented a larger site in his hometown in Sweden.
AS Luksusjaht
In 1995, Sven Lennart Alpstål founded AS Luksusjaht, a boat manufacturing company that is located on Saaremaa island in Estonia. In the first years 32-40 feet long Excel sailboats were built.
The first production building
In 1998, Luksusjaht bought a heating plant from the local fuel company, Saare Kütus, which was converted into a production building.
Production in 1990s
In 1998, furnishings for Scanner sailing yachts were produced in the new production building. In 1999 the company started building sailing yachts for the Swedish brand Arcona.
Sailboats transport to Sweden
Most of the sailboats that were built were sold to Sweden, where they were delivered by truck or by sailing across the sea. Nowadays also the main part of Luksusjaht production goes to Sweden. On the right side you can see a picture of a truck that was used to transport sailboats to Sweden in the 90s.
The production of Delta motorboats
In 2006, AS Luksusjaht bought the Delta Powerboats brand and started developing and producing new Delta models. The first new model produced in Estonia was the Delta 40.
Construction of new production site
In 2007 a new assembly department was built, which made it possible to produce more sailboats and motorboats. In the same year sailing yachts for Nautor Swan were built in Luksusjaht factory.
World's first production powerboat made of carbon fiber
In 2010 we challenged the status quo of the motoryacht industry whith the launch of Delta 54 IPS, the first production powerboat in the world made of carbon fiber, yielding a reduction of fuel consumption and emissions with up to 40 percent.
