Building & Refit

To create a work of art in the world of yachting

In fully custom projects, a personal support team is essential

Some shipyards create truly unique projects. Their approach is different, and the process takes more time because the design documentation must go through approval. The entire system at private shipyards works differently. That is why working with them requires a different approach.

Building

In Europe, there are 43 shipyards that design projects from scratch and build unique sailing and motor yachts. Each of these shipyards specialises in its own field, and it is essential to choose the right one from the outset, based on your goals and preferences.

This requires personal, direct engagement with the shipyard.

Refit

These same shipyards also handle refits, repairs, upgrades, and maintenance of their respective yacht types. Your specialists must know where, when, and how your yacht should be serviced.

Building a yacht to your own design is a hobby that becomes part of history

What are the advantages of building a fully custom yacht from scratch?

1. A unique experience

You become involved in the yacht-building process, which in itself is a unique and rewarding journey.

2. Maximum personalisation

The expression of your lifestyle in every detail of the yacht — from hull lines to interior materials.

3. Bold ideas made real

Solar-panel sails or a fully custom underwater yacht — anyone can turn such ideas into reality. What matters are time and resources.

High-quality construction starts from 30 meters and costs around 40% more than a series-production yacht

You must be prepared for this and take all risks into account.
