Our creative engineering team, drawing on sixty years of experience across various sectors of the shipbuilding industry, works closely with a wide range of clients including some of the world’s top designers and superyacht builders.
We ask new questions-because we’re inquisitive and because we realise that it’s often the question that drives the answer.
We are adventurous thinkers.
We are experienced doers.
We combine inquisitiveness, with a depth and breadth of experience.
We cross-fertilise, adapt and adopt ideas and technology to provide new superyacht solutions, enabling exceptional, achievable concepts through meaningful innovation.
