KREATIF YACHT DESIGN

Every yacht design projects begins from something. It can be a new idea of the investor, niche inn the boat market, the success of competitors or anything else.

The design process always begins with the first meeting to determine the design brief, which can be determined by the shipyard’s heritage, owners’ vision, or new production/manufacturing technology.

A key factor for a great design brief is also deep market analysis. Market analysis gives a key advantage to pass over the competition whenever we work on boats for further sales.

Every yacht design project starts with the hull and deck design concept, and  continues with a general arrangement and engine definition. All major characteristics of the yacht must be defined during this phase that start with 2D hand drawing and continues with computer 2D drawings of basic layouts, sections, and side view. All plans define the base concept of the yacht and all main characteristics that cannot be changed drastically over the future phases.

Some future yacht owners want to start the whole project from sketch, and we please them.

When this is not the case, after the general arrangement of the yacht has been, determined we start to draw the first sketches of the exterior. This part of the project is the most interesting for both our clients and us. At this stage, all the creativity and innovations come to life. This is where the chemistry between the client and the yacht happens. We then continue to design the interior. With the help of 3D sketches we try to present the yacht’s styling to the client and at the same time start to model the yacht with a computer program.

When a client selects their preferred concept, we begin with the production of the preliminary 3D exterior. We generate a CAD model, from which the shipyard can take accurate design information. During this process, we enhance the ergonomics and usability and prepare the 3d model for visualization. When the preliminary project is done, we can prepare a 3d model for CNC milling.

Before productions, all clients want to be 100% sure they have chosen the right design for themselves or for the company they represent. In that case, we make visualizations of the exterior and interior to present ideas as they will be in reality.

In collaboration with clients, we make the final decision of yacht design. With the client, we determine colors, decoration and last the details of yacht design.

When 3D geometry is finished we prepare 3D geometry for CNC milling of molds, detailed 2D production plans, and lamination plans.

Our many times rewarded partners are our first choice when we need help with complex design issues in the product design phase. We join forces to provide clients the benefits of interdisciplinary cooperation of experts from different fields. For more information please click here.
