CUSTOM YACHT CONSTRUCTION

BUILD YOUR DREAM YACHT

There is perhaps no more personal and prestigious purchase in the world than a custom yacht. Building a yacht that meets your every need is the very height of luxury. Italy is home to many of the top custom yacht builders in the world, and the Italian Yacht Group has strong relationships with all of them. Our resume includes over 100 fully custom yacht builds of boats over 80 feet. We use our unmatched expertise to hold your hand through the entire process of building your dream boat—from conceiving a design all the way to smashing a bottle of Champagne on the bow.

WHY BUILD CUSTOM?

There are plenty of excellent yachts out there that are ready to buy, be they new models, or on the brokerage market. So why go through the extra step of building custom? The answer is simple: unmatched personalization. It may take more time and effort to build a fully bespoke vessel, but that investment will pay dividends when you’re cruising your favorite destinations aboard a yacht that has everything exactly how you want it, be it a special layout on the accommodations level, a rare marble on the countertops, or helm electronics that would make NASA blush. And really, what could be more luxurious than that?

CONCEIVE A DREAM

IYG sits down with you on day one to better understand what your vision of the ideal yacht is. We want to know everything from the way you boat to your personal aesthetic tastes. Once we understand what you want out of your custom yacht, we can begin to enact a plan to make it a reality.

DESIGN WITH THE END IN MIND

Once you choose a design team, IYG will keep close watch over all of the design proceedings making sure everything goes exactly as planned. Our goal here is to ensure the design remains in line with your aesthetic vision, functional requirements, personal specifications, and all relevant regulations.

MANAGING THE BUILD

IYG has a dedicated project management team that will be at your service throughout your yacht’s construction. These experts will regularly visit the build site keeping in constant contact with naval architects, designers, contractors, and more to ensure that the build stays on time and on budget.

SHEPHERDING KEY DETAILS

In the meantime, IYG will leverage its contacts to find the right maritime attorney for your legal needs, as well as a bank to help arrange finance. Some owners find paperwork dull, so we shoulder the responsibility for you to ensure that building your yacht is as exciting and pleasurable as it rightly should be.

HIRING A CAPTAIN & COMMISSIONING YOUR YACHT

As your custom yacht nears delivery, IYG will help you find a well-suited captain to outfit the boat with crew and onboard wares like cutlery and fire-safety equipment. Once the boat splashes the captain will take it on a shakedown cruise to make sure every detail is accounted for before the owner steps foot aboard.

Everything will be perfectly in place, and everything will be most perfectly yours. Congratulations, this is an accomplishment many dream of, but only the very few ever actually achieve.
