Yacht Design
Behind every superyacht is a naval architect and designer who
has made he vision a reality. Now more than ever, this elite group
have elevated their art to new levels of audacity, galvanised in
part by a raft of external design talent which is challenging the
established names. Here are the definitive superyacht creatives:
This class will explore these definitive creatives.
The Boating Bohemian
Terence Disdale Design
Origins:
Terence Disdale was a student of the famously coined “Chelsea University”,
otherwise known as the studio of the late Jon Bannenberg, which also helped
the likes of Andrew Winch and Tim Heywood hone their skills.
Design ethos:
“Beach house not Penthouse” is the style mantra of Terrence Disdale Design
who believe many yacht designers opt for designs which are much too formal.
Specialty:
Terence Disdale Design is an award-winning design studio responsible for the
interior and exterior design of the some of the world’s most significant yachts.
Based in the UK, the studio is renowned for producing refreshingly casual yet
chic designs.
Impact in the industry:
Based in the UK, the studio is renowned for producing refreshingly casual yet
chic designs. Muted colors, curved shapes, textures and finishes that are exciting
to see and touch are the hallmark of many of his interiors.
Examples of work and why they are important:
Amid the impressive range of superyachts designed by Terence Disdale are
several amongst the longest in the world including motor yachts Al Salamah,
Pelorus, Tatoosh, Ice, Ecstasea, Montkaj, Kogo, Boadicea, and the giant Eclipse.
Aquatecture
Foster & Partners
Origins:
Founded by Norman Foster in London in 1967, it is now a worldwide practice,
with project offices in more than twenty countries. Over the past four decades
the company has been responsible for a strikingly wide range of work, from
urban masterplans, public infrastructure, airports, civic and cultural buildings,
offices and workplaces to private houses and product design
Design ethos:
Foster + Partners has always been guided by a belief that the quality of
our surroundings has a direct influence on the quality of our lives, whether
that is in the workplace, at home or in the public realm. Allied to that is an
acknowledgement that architecture is generated by the needs of people-both
material and spiritual-and a concern for the physical context and the culture
and climate of place
The YachtPlus 40 Signature Series- Ocean Emerald, Ocean Pearl, Ocean Sapphire,
and a yet unnamed fourth clone-4 superyachts designed by Foster&Partners for
YachtPlus, whose unique contemporary design makes them truly distinctive.
With an aluminium hull and superstructure, the eye-catching 41 metre vessels
feature up to 30 percent more exterior and interior space than any other yacht
in their class
Ground Rules
Espen oino International
Origins:
Espen Øino began his career at Martin Francis Design Studio, where he became
project manager of the legendary Eco project, now known as the iconic Engima
In 1994, after eight years working as a consulting engineer and naval architect for
Martin Francis, Espen set up his own design company: Espen Øino International
(EOI). The Monaco-based studio is today one of the leading designers of large
custom motor yachts
Design ethos:
EOI undertakes the concept space planning; and detailed design work of each
project. In addition to carefully drawn sketches, the team produce two- and
three-dimensional digital designs, using the latest technology
Speciality:
Technical expertise and experience, combined with an analytical approach to
the design process ensures that each client’s requirements are incorporated
into the design from the outset, minimising the need to make changes during
the construction process
Espen and his 14-strong team have a client base stretching from Asia and the
Far East to the USA and Central America. Recent Espen Øino-designed yachts
to hit the water include Viareggio Super Yacht’s Candyscape II and RoMa, a 75m
Lurssen yacht Northern Star and a 73.5m Silver Zwei built by Hanseatic Marine;
all of which were delivered in 2009
Current projects from the man described as “creator of some of the world’s most
famous and outstanding yachts” include several high-profile Lürssen yachts, as
well as two very large motor yachts building at the Fincantieri Yard in La Spezia,
Italy
Renegade Wave
Philippe Starck
Origins:
Starck began his design career by fashioning inflatables and creating furniture
for leading Italian and international firms before opening his imaginative scope
to design truly distinctive hotels and restaurants. His portfolio now includes
unique items from lamps, foodstuffs, clothes, and luggage to vehicles, and of
course superyachts
Design ethos:
Honesty and integrity at the core of design. Beautiful things for everyone. Dream
the dream and do your best to make it come to life through creativity
Philippe Starck is an innovative and imaginative designer, creator and architect
renowned in the superyacht world for his ingenious interior and exterior design
style that makes radical departures from the usual
As one of the most famous contemporary designers in the world, French-born
Stark brings New Design styles to superyachts and is probably best known in the
yachting industry for his work on the motor yachts Sigma and A. the 394-foot
vessel is designed by Philippe Starck, and its exterior lines conjure a military
ship, but in shiny white, more than they do your average mega-yacht. Apparently,
this has been very controversial in the yachting world . Philippe Starck-designed
items can be found in some of Europe’s and America’s most admired museums
New York’s Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Design in London, and Paris’s
Musée des Arts Decoratif
Sleek and Startling
Wally Yachts
Origins:
Luca Bassani Antivari, founded Wally in 1994, after he had found himself unable
to find a yacht that satisfied his exacting needs and designed and custom built
one that combined the ability to sail solo with outstanding safety and comfort
for his family and friends
Design ethos:
Wally was born of a passion for performance, a passion for design, and a passion
for the sea. Every Wally expresses these three passions in every detail
Speciality:
Power boats, sail boats, race boats design and build
His innovative approach, using advanced, lightweight materials such as carbon
fibre, striking contemporary design and innovative concepts such as his patented
Magic Trim sail handling system and self-tacking jib has revolutionised the yacht
industry.
Wally//WHY is a revolutionary concept developed by Wally and Hermes. A
private island of unimaginable space, light and tranquillity, it is the world’s most
stable hull and provides an entirely new and superior way of living on the sea.
Designed for low energy consumption it is also a breakthrough in efficiency and
environmental responsibility
The Listener
Andrew Winch Designs
Origins:
Having started as an apprentice designer at Jon Bannenberg, Ltd Andrew started
Andrew Winch Designs in 1986 with his wife Jane, and has successfully nurtured
and developed the company over the last 25 years to be recognized as one of
the leading International Designers of some of the most spectacular yachts, jets
and properties in the world today
Design ethos:
Andrew Winch Designs is dedicated to taking the dream of their clients and
turning them into a reality. What underpins all their work is quality, attention
to detail and the enthusiasm of the team. Their ultimate goal is to realize the
dreams of the clients whilst exceeding their expectations
Speciality:

Interior and exterior design of Phoenix2, 85m superyacht built by Lurssen
shipyard, delivered in 2010. With an impressive 13.5 metre beam, the yacht offers
generous interior spaces
The Godfather’s Son
Bannenberg Designs
Origins:
In 1952 Australian-born Jon Bannenberg moved to London and his career began
to morph towards its final destination: from music to stage design to opening
an interior design shop with his first wife and ultimately to designing yachts
Design ethos:
“It starts with one person’s imagination”. The team underpins this with a wellorganised office, armed with tried and trusted systems for drawing delivery,
specifying and budgetary control. They don’t forget that nobody actually needs
a yacht and the process needs to bring them pleasure.
Speciality:
Award-winning yacht design
Bannenberg’s innovative designs were sometimes controversial in the yachting
community, provoking a “love it or hate it” response from many at the quayside.
Yet Bannenberg is much emulated, having inspired a generation of younger
designers with his novel and functional arrangements and styling cues. In essence,
Bannenberg introduced the latitude for the “stylist” in traditional shipbuilding,
which until that time, followed conservative Post-WW2 practices
Arguably the most striking of his futuristic designs began with the Oceanfast
2000 Never Say Never. This 122-foot (37 m) long vessel displayed not only
shockingly futuristic aesthetics, but a totally unprecedented internal layout
The Cu t in the Water
Dubois Yachts
Origins:
In 1976 the first yacht that Ed Dubois designed won the British Trials for the
Three Quarter Ton Cup, the RORC Class IV overall prize and the Solent Points
Championshipand the name of the boat was Borsalino Trois. It attracted enough
attention to launch both a racing career and Dubois Naval Architects, in 1977;
acknowledged today as one of the World’s foremost yacht design houses
Design ethos:
Dubois’ philosophy is to combine ultimate seaworthiness and excellent
performance with imaginative space planning and beautifully proportioned and
elegant lines
Speciality:
Dubois is a company of naval architects and designers who will always push
technology, who understand instinctively the principles of hydrodynamics, how
a yacht behaves in a seaway and how to design for overall performance. Having
started by designing racing yachts, Dubois expanded their work in 1978 to
include designing production boats and custom cruising yachts
Dubois’ design concept changed the shape, in more ways than one, of yachting.
No longer did sailors rush around on deck, blasted by the elements, or have to
go below deck with no way to see where they were going. By a few deft strokes
on his drawing board he made it possible to stay above deck, out of the wind
and rain, and still see where you are going
In 1985 Dubois started work with an owner who wanted something “different”.
The result was Aquel II; a 37 metre (120 foot) cruising yacht which turned heads
wherever she went. The team developed new winches, a discreet ventilation
system and a new sleek superstructure. Here was a boat which was not only
technically advanced but also beautiful and original.
Internal Affairs
Ken Freivokh Design
Origins:
Ken Freivokh was born in Los Angeles, California. Following completion
of architectural studies, he graduated as Master of Design at the School of
Industrial Design (Engineering) at the Royal College of Art, London. A member
of the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Chartered Society Designers,
Ken is an experienced sailor with a Yachtmaster Offshore ticket, and a keen
International Dragon helmsman.
Design ethos:
Ken Freivokh Design is a multi-disciplinary team renowned for creating unique
“out of the box” design solutions. The innovative design team’s methodology
involves a careful analysis of first principles, lateral thinking and formulation of
very special designs, always aimed at raising the bar of excellence
Speciality:
Yacht stylists, architects and interior designers
Some of the design concepts of Ken Freivokh Design are excitingly futuristic.
Ken Freivokh Design is most famous for the sailing superyacht, the Maltese
Falcon, which won eight prestigious awards in 2007. At the time it was launched,
Maltese Falcon was the largest sailing yacht in the world, but she is known as
much for her beauty and innovative design as for her size. Examples of work and why they are important:
A more current design concept from Ken Freivokh Design is a 55’ concept
cruising yacht that uses no fuel. Freivokh met with the people at Voller Energy
to discuss integrating their green technology into one of his yachts, and they
readily agreed to collaborate. The Emerald Fuel Cell System is a reliable, safe
and clean source of electric power that eliminates the need for a large generator
or engine, which could effectively take over as the total power system for the
yacht. Without the bulk of the generator and engines, there would be more
room for design, too. One Man Show
Tim Heywood Designs
Origins:
With an interest in all fields of industrial design, it was when introduced to celebrated yacht designer Jon Bannenberg that Tim realised all of these interests
could fuse into one career. After graduating from the Central School of Art and
Design, Tim worked with Jon Bannenberg for over twenty years before opening
his own studio with his partner Vanessa in 1996. Tim’s creations are now drawn
from his design studio in Rutland, with the support of Vanessa
Design ethos:
To convince the world’s most demanding owners and to connect with their
tastes, and to create sculptural shapes that bring together the searched for
visual impact with the necessary timeless factor is Heywood’s mantra
Speciality:
Naval exterior and interior architectural design
115m Pelorus was voted by the world’s leading yacht designers to be one of the
most beautiful yachts – ever. Beaten only by his mentor, Jon Bannenberg, whose
sleek motor yacht ‘The One’ took first place.
Tim Heywood works closely with his clients to turn their wishes into a reality,
overseeing every detail. His impressive portfolio of some the largest yachts in
the world includes the elegant 115m Pelorus. Perhaps the most important yacht
in his career to date, she was voted by industry peers to be one of the most
beautiful yachts to have ever graced the water. Among his exceptional designs
is the stunning 133m Al Mirqab, which was awarded the coveted ‘Motor Yacht of
the Year’ at the 2009 World Superyacht Awards.
Viva La Vega
V egayac h ts
Origins:
Richard Hein was one of the founders and the CEO of ‘Oceanco’ from 1992 to
2004. During this period, 18 ‘Oceanco’ motoryachts sized 40m to 95m were
delivered under his responsibility, at the Oceanco Dutch shipyards. In 2005,
Richard decided to put all the experience and know-how gained during these
past 12 years to the benefit of his new company named ‘VegaYachts’.
Design ethos:
Vision, authenticity, integrity and determination are the core values to which
Vega Yachts are committed
Speciality:
VegaYachts designs yachts whose silhouette and interior layout are totally
unique. Each owner is guaranteed a new and personalised way of living on
board : wide open spaces, the transparency of materials and immense glass
partitions favour a more intimate relationship with the marine environment,
broaden horizons and add a new dimension to sailing.
VegaYachts is a new design concept in the 70m to 115m+ motoryachts industry.
This concept consists in an original engineering, innovative interior layout
solutions and a different approach to the designing, engineering, contracting
and building processes. This results in an outstanding innovative motoryacht
Superyacht V1150 is a 115 metre (377’30’’) luxury vessel built by the prestigious
luxury yacht builder Vega Yachts in Japan. The Vega V1150 motoryacht’s
delivery date is 2013. Her interior has been designed by Alberto Pinto and her
exterior styling is a work of Richard Hein. Works on all Vega Yachts currently in
production are currently cancelled.

integrating these with aesthetically correct and performance oriented design
solutions
The award-winning 150ft/46m Transocean Explorer, Marco Polo, broke new
ground with her innovative and energy-efficient propulsion systems
The 103-foot Whirlwind, launched in 1986, was Holland’s largest design to date
and one of the first of a new breed of superyacht - large yachts which used new
technologies to provide strong sailing performance without requiring a large
crew. Mirabella V, launched in 2003, was not only Holland’s largest design, but
also the largest ever single-masted sailing yacht.
Fierce Industry
Donald Starkey Designs
Origins:
Donald Starkey began his career as an architect, and not even that of the naval
kind. He was involved in a number of large projects from the age of 23 but by
the early 80s, he switched to the field of yacht design

Donald Starkey-designed yachts are known for attracting immediate attention
and a consequent premium if the vessel emerges on the brokerage market
sometime in its career. Owners of Starkey yachts will not only hold the privileged
place of creating and enjoying a beautiful vessel, but also benefiting financially
thereafter. Based in Dubai, the Donald Starkey studio has an impressive portfolio
of elegant and timeless luxury yachts, including the Feadship 65 metre Trident
and the 40 metre Allogante, both which launched in 2009

exterior new build of a 200-foot motor yacht, whose contemporary interior he
describes as “minimalist and super clean” and a 300 foot rebuild and restyling
motor yacht project.
New Order
Rainsford Saunders Design
Origins:
The company was formed by Rupert Rainsford Mann and a group of associates
in 2001 under the name Rainsford Saunders Design, and over the ensuing years
worked on a wide variety of projects, building a high-quality client base in the
process. Early 2009 saw an internal reorganisation and the renaming of the
company as Rainsford Mann Design
Design ethos:
“One-stop-shop” for the client, from conceptual design to interior solutions
Speciality:
Rainsford Saunders Design offers a complete service in luxury super yacht
design. Rupert Rainsford Mann’s background is in interior architecture in the
hotel and residential sectors and, before specialising in yacht design, Rupert
spent some time working with Mary Fox Linton at her design studio in London
RSD has recently introduced an ‘ECO-yacht’ range, a move that is intended
to clearly differentiate these designs from the many yachts that are launched
today incorporating elements of environmental technology yet fail to embrace
whole-heartedly the ethos of making minimum consumption and minimum waste
output the starting point of the project
The first in a planned series of RSD Eco-yachts, the 80-metre Eco incorporates
as standard a series of environmental systems designed to minimise both its
consumption of resources and waste outputs. Seeking Beau ty
Redman Whiteley Dixon
Origins:
Redman Whiteley Dixon is led by three partners; Justin Redman, Mark Whiteley
and Tony Dixon. When Redman Whiteley Design was launched in 1993 the firm
predominately designed sailing yacht interiors and has subsequently added
motor yachts and exteriors to its’ diverse portfolio
Design ethos:
The way we work is ‘open door, open plan’ operating as a team and communicating
as one, in an atmosphere that is relaxed yet focused
Speciality:
Redman Whiteley Dixon handles all aspects of interior and exterior yacht design;
from 10 metre tenders to 160 metre yachts
The team is extending the boundaries of more traditional styles, as is the
case with Benetti and the superyacht Amnesia IV, that Redman Whiteley Dixon
designed the exterior and interior for. Amnesia IV will have a plumb bow, one
that Benetti’s Vincenzo Poerio enthusiastically chose for the vessel when offered
the option of either a plumb or traditional bow by RWD and the client
In April, 2011, the Benetti shipyard in Livorno launched the 65 metre
superyacht Nataly (FB252). The striking superyacht features interior and
exterior design by Redman Whiteley Dixon. Working closely with Benetti naval
architects, her contemporary hull and superstructure are highly developed
by using technology normally employed by the automotive industry. This
makes Nataly truly individual in the yachting industry
H a rd C ra f t
Remi Tessier
Origins:
As a cabinetmaker, trained by the “Compagnons du Devoir” for eight years,
infatuated by materials and subtle proportions, the designer imagined, at first,
the interiors of luxury boutiques before focusing on private developments. His
insatiable curiosity naturally urged him toward new challenges , from private
residences to interior design of both sailing and motor yachts
Design ethos:
The client remains the guideline to every step
Speciality:
Interior design of luxury yachts, large residencial developments, private jets,
and exclusive hand-made haute couture furniture lines

is exclusive and unique. Every project reflects the personality of the client. “In
fact it is Haute Couture!” according to the designer Examples of work and why they are important:
Rémi Tessier believes that luxury lies in “the art of providing detail without
ostentation and in exulting the essential”. As a result the interior of MY Satori
looks extremely simple at the first glance, but as soon as the eye dwells upon
the detail the extreme refinement of every single element clearly stands out.
Tessier is known in the luxury yacht industry for creating the most luxurious
“Zen” spaces while incorporating predominantly natural materials and elements
In the Present
Vripack Naval Architects
Origins:
Vripack was launched in 1961by Dick Boon, combining the design and sale of
yachts in a single dedicated company. The untimely death of his partner forced
a change into a one-man firm in October 1965, a status retained until Vripack
became a limited company 30 years later
Design ethos:
Vripack believes that Quality is the sum of Workmanship and Enthusiasm
Speciality:
Naval architecture, design and engineering
As computerised nesting developed, many construction activities shifted from
yard sheds and workshops to design offices. The last 20 years have seen a
genuine revolution in yacht design, engineering and building. Vripack has led
the way in optimizing the possibilities of CAD/CAM technologies and set new
standards in design capability
Vripack was already very proud of the extraordinary achievement to have two
yachts nominated as finalists for the World Superyacht Awards in the category
Best Displacement Motor Yacht below 500GT. It became even more exceptional
when during this event, held on May 16 th 2009, over 500 guests witnessed how
