Emocean Yacht Design was established when two yacht and powercraft design students at the Southampton Solent University discovered they had a mutual love not only for the engineering side but also for the creative and artistic side of yacht design. This is at a time where more and more vessels are being designed not only from a functional point of view, but where the aesthetical and personal character of a vessel is starting to play a greater role in the yachts appearance; this is an evolution which also could be seen in the automotive industry a couple a years ago. Knowing this, starting a company that would just do that seemed a logical step, after both students established some working experience in the UK and Holland and Belgium respectively.
