CUSTOM BUILD

We join our clients on this exhilarating journey and achieve an end result that is truly exceptional.

With years of expertise behind us, we specialise in building custom yachts (both sail and motor) and can build any design to individual/bespoke specifications.


The design process is an exciting time, when plans start to materialise and dreams take a step closer to becoming reality. Every project is unique, tailored to a clients individual ideas and expectations.

We have worked with many prestigious yacht designers over the years and once a concept is finalised, we work seamlessly with the chosen designer to elaborate structural detail, outer plans, and interior finish.
