01 Concepts / Sketches

For most clients the project will begin with the exterior styling and it is often the stage they love most! However, developing the exterior ‘styling’ of a yacht is a complicated and fluid process, requiring the integration of all technical and regulatory requirements, as well as meeting the client’s demanding interior space needs. All these are fighting for priority in a finite amount of space. The exterior styling has to develop alongside the general arrangement (or plan). Because of this customisation process, every yacht should be slightly different to the last.

The exterior design process begins with a period of loose sketching and concept development in conjunction with the general arrangement.
