Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 vs Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 vs Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 2 719 hp, the Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 has a 429-hp advantage over the Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005's 2 290-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 is rated for 90 passengers, while the Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 caps at 85. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 90 passengers and at 295,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 85 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 vs Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 or the Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011?
The Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 is the longer of the two at 295,8 feet overall. The Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 comes in at 279,1 feet, making it roughly 16,7 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 is rated to a maximum of 2 719 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 tops out at 2 290 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 is Coast Guard rated for 90 passengers, while the Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 is certified for 85. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 measures 592" wide, compared to 562" for the Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 and Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Lurssen Yachts Ice 2005 and the Lurssen Yachts Valerie 2011 are built by Lurssen Yachts. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
