Semi-Custom Boat Designs

We are in the fortunate position to have several molds from the best designers in the business. With these molds we are able to offer a variety of semi custom projects to the customer who wants a proven product, but with his/her own design for the interior and exterior. We do not build deck molds intentionally to allow each customer to design their own custom interior. A deck needs to conform to the interior and vice versa, so constructing this element on an individual basis allows for a much more unique design specific to the customer's desires.

By using the semi custom approach our customers have the insurance of knowing the performance with a custom approach while saving the costs of the design and construction of molds that a fully custom project requires. It is the best of all worlds to build your own boat with an interior of your choosing while having the confidence on the performance of existing boats. Each client can influence the specification and concept of his boat to a high degree. This flexibility allows our boats to be extremely individual, although the standard starting platform is an already existing model. Some of them have 100% custom decks, others a totally different keel system, and almost all of them have individual interior layouts.

For the yachtsman that perhaps does not have the time and capacity to be directly involved themselves in a full custom project, these semi-custom yachts offer a slightly "easier" solution at a lower price. More importantly, though, they offer faster delivery while still maintaining the possibility to create very personal projects.

In the fall of 2012, we launched hull number one of a new series of boats that we believe will redefine offshore family sailing.
