Why commission now

Why Commission a New Yacht?

A new build gives you the opportunity to create a yacht around the way you actually intend to cruise. From layout and interior design to range, systems and equipment, the specification is built around your requirements rather than adapted from an existing vessel.

Shipyard availability can also influence delivery timelines. Early planning gives owners more choice over available build slots, specifications and construction schedules.

Two paths

Two Ways to Own a New Build Yacht

Path 01

Full Yacht Ownership

Commission a completely custom yacht built exclusively for you. From the first design meeting to final delivery, every aspect of the project reflects your vision, cruising plans, and ownership goals.

Begin a full build

Path 02

Build-to-Share

Create a new yacht together with a carefully selected ownership group. Build-to-Share combines the advantages of a brand-new yacht with the efficiency of fractional ownership, allowing owners to reduce initial investment while retaining real equity through a dedicated LLC.
