New Build Yacht Projects & Concepts

A custom yacht enables the Owner to build a vessel that precisely meets their precise needs. Whether you seek a cutting-edge sailing yacht designed for long-range cruising, an opulent superyacht designed for cruising blue water havens or a state-of-the-art ocean explorer for cruising unchartered waters, a new build yacht can be made to match any lifestyle.

The main benefit of building your own yacht is the element of personalisation it brings. When building a custom yacht, nothing is off-limits from the size, layout, amenities, interiors, and exterior design.

A custom yacht also allows for the option to choose a reduced carbon footprint by utilising the latest eco-friendly technology, including state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion systems, wastewater recovery systems and solar panels.

With the currently low inventory due to unprecedented yacht sales over the past two years, building your dream yacht may be the ideal option.

The time of the yacht building process can vary considerably depending on the size, type, interiors, technical considerations, customization and extra amenities you wish to have onboard, as well as the shipyard and their availability. On average, yacht construction can take anywhere from 18 months to 4 years.

A fully-custom superyacht is the pinnacle of luxury yacht construction. Every aspect of aesthetic and technical design is bespoke and constructed to your specifications. A fully-custom yacht build is an exciting yet complex undertaking, requiring 2.5 to 4 years to develop. The road from concept to the yacht building process can be long and involves considerable research and planning.

Building a custom superyacht can be a superb experience when working alongside a reputable yacht brokerage like YACHTZOO. Our highly skilled agents can assist with all aspects of project management, from liaising with the shipyards, engineers and interior designers, to the yacht’s classification and flag.

A semi-custom yacht allows for the best of both worlds when it comes to the yacht building process, offering faster lead times and reduced costs, as well as a large flexibility to personalise the vessel to your exact tastes and lifestyle.

Built on a proven platform - and sometimes on spec - this option reduces delivery time by around a third or more, taking 2 to 3 years to complete on average. While you may not have control over the pre-engineering and technical specifications, a varying degree of customisation is still available throughout the interior design and options list of the semi-custom models to ensure the creation of a yacht bespoke to you.

A production yacht is a tried and trusted way to keep costs and delivery time considerably lower than custom construction projects. While production yachts offer the least amount of creative freedom in terms of design, layout and interior, many production yachts boast flexible layouts and interior design options, allowing for your own personal touch in a fraction of the usual yacht build time. The typical building process for a production yacht should take 1.5 to 2 years.
