Being a custom boat builder means that we are awarded the opportunity to work with a wide range of naval architects. Here you'll find a representation of concepts from some of the designers we've collaborated with over the years. The designs are ready to be personalized and brought to life — let us help you make them your own.
The ZURN 65, designed by Doug Zurn, blends traditional and practical sailing qualities with advanced modern construction techniques to provide a moderately light and nimble yacht on which to adventure far offshore in comfort.
First and foremost she has a powerful hull, appendages and sail plan to get to where you’re headed quickly and safely. Easy sail handling and a flexible sail plan are accommodated with dual head stay arrangement for self-tacking working Jib and reaching Genoa. Asymmetrical spinnakers can be set off the retractable bowsprit. Headsail halyard winches are on the mast while the (2) spinnaker halyards, main halyard and reef lines are lead aft to the cockpit. A double-ended main sheet is just aft of the helmsman. Ventilation is provided to the cabin below through six Dorade vents and six overhead hatches. There is a large Lazarette aft and forepeak locker forward, which may be assessed through a watertight door in the forward shower. All hull ports are fixed. A swim platform is incorporated into the transom.
Interior accommodations are functional and can be finished how ever the client wishes. Starting forward are the guest/children's cabins with opposing hi/low berths and shared head and shower. This arrangement worked very well on the C.W. Hood 50 and included a centerline pocket door that merged the two cabins into one when open. The salon incorporates a port and starboard settee with a centerline table. To port is entertainment and to starboard a delivery pilot berth. Up one step and aft is the "great room".
The amidships Galley to port is appropriately equipped with everything one needs including a trash compactor. Starboard is a dual-purpose enclosed helm station/opposing settee. Great game table or convenient place to keep the chef company or help with the preparations: all while having clear views of the happenings outside. There is a day head just aft to starboard and a wet locker just inboard of that at the bottom of the companionway.
One step down is the corridor to the aft Owners Stateroom. This "working" corridor incorporates a large pantry and tool locker immediately aft of the galley. Further aft is another delivery berth which doubles as a workbench or day bag stowage area for occasional day guests. Inboard are AC/DC panels in addition to access doors for quick inspection of the engine and generator fuel filters. Just aft is a high/lo washer and dryer combo unit.
The Owners Cabin aft has a king size berth, his and hers bureaus and hanging lockers. Their ensuite head incorporates a separate stall shower. Large doors provide walk in access to the engine and generator spaces.
Ed Joy, the designer behind NEW MORNING, has brought us this great new offshore cruiser. The new Lyman Morse 54 incorporates all the successful attributes of NEW MORNING and adds a deck and interior that benefit from Cabot Lyman's many years of offshore passagemaking experience. Long night watches are stood in the comfort of the cockpit shelter, although the helm and sail controls are within easy reach. The interior has a spacious yet secure galley, aft head and 4 sea berths for maximum comfort at sea.
The boat has proven to be fast, stiff, very strong and yet not so light as to be uncomfortable or unable to absorb the weight of cruising amenities. She was designed to emulate the fit, finish and feel of a fine touring automobile - a solid performer that makes her owner look forward to the trip as much as the destination.
The Aeroyacht® 110 is very fast - members of the international press claim the Aeroyacht® to be the fastest sailing luxury yacht in the world. With a potential of sailing at more than twice the wind speed she can reach 35 knots and comfortably travel more than 480 miles. Designed by Gregor Tarjan - founder and president of Aeroyacht Ltd. and Aeroyacht International in collaboration with the renown multihull-naval-architect team of Morrelli & Melvin, the 35 knot capable all-carbon Aeroyacht 110' luxury catamaran characterizes the "next generation" of high-performance sailing vessels. With a saloon area of a 300' motor yacht and high average speeds of an offshore powerboat she will have an unlimited operating radius under sail and more than 2800 nm range under power. This super-yacht's shallow draft is equivalent to that of a 35' monohull and you could even fit a tennis court on her deck. The generous 44' beam provides zero heel and guests will be sipping champagne at 30 knots burning no fossil fuels. As optional equipment this ground breaking catamaran is equipped with a personal exploration airplane -the 2 seat Icon-A5 amphibian which will be launched and retrieved from a specially designed pod on the aft deck.
With its striking low profile and stealthy features it is not difficult to appreciate that even international designer greats such as Ora-Ito was recently quoted (by French magazine Decor @ Home)..."that the Aeroyacht 110 is his favorite yacht" Inspired by world renown ocean-racers and evolved from a blank sheet of paper the advanced Aeroyacht 110' luxury catamaran is today's most innovative superyacht. Conceived from the ground up she is one of the largest composite multihulls in the world and represents the first model of a sleek, new range embodying the ultimate high-performance, supremely styled "green"-world traveler. Aeroyacht International will soon complement the 110' with the 95' and 125' and select shipyards around the world have been licensed to build this one-of a kind master piece.

During the course of working with Doug Zurn on the Jones' 62 powerboat, MAD MAX, we have talked a lot about speed and lightweight building materials. Doug has applied this concept to what, on first glance, looks like a heavy, world-wide cruiser, when in fact it is a lightweight, fast, but very comfortable platform for sailing around the world. In many heavy cruisers, the thought is to overbuild so you can withstand anything. The more current thinking is: Build it strong and fast so you are able to get out of harms way. Doug has accomplished this with his new design. This 65 offshore sloop is designed for speed, yet offers accommodations you might expect on a heavy displacement cruising yacht. There's plenty of room to stretch out after a great day of blue water cruising.
