NEW YACHT BUILDS

CUSTOM YACHT CONSTRUCTION

The Italian Yacht Group has overseen production of over 100 new construction yachts that are, at a minimum, 80 feet in length.

Building a new custom yacht is a complex project that requires close supervision, an incredibly high attention to detail, and impeccably strong relationships with designers, contractors and shipyards. With IYG, these relationships are already in place. We have a strong and established network of proven partners with the experience and expertise to build bespoke yachts of any size.

Building New vs Buying Pre-Owned

As with all luxury products, there is a market for both new and pre-owned, and reasons why clients choose one over the other. Acquiring a pre-owned yacht is certainly faster and easier than building new, but a new custom build provides several exclusive benefits:

Personalization

This is your most important consideration. If you purchase an existing yacht, you can live with the original owner’s taste and style or invest time and money into refurbishing and refitting the vessel to meet your needs. The cost of the latter can approach the cost of building new, so why not make your yacht exactly what you want it to be? A custom yacht build allows you to have full control over every last detail, from trim to types of wood, room configurations, technologies, furniture and more.

Warranty

As with owning anything new, a new yacht offers maximum warranty coverage. Components such as engines, electronics and more will come with protections already in place. Pre-owned yachts may have expired warranties that you have to pay to extend, or worse – no coverage at all, leaving you financially liable for any failures.

The Process of Building a Custom Yacht

As partners on more than 100 new construction yachts, we know the process intimately. Allow Italian Yacht Group to guide you every step of the way so that you feel totally confident in your custom vessel.
