Intelligence for Yacht Designers & Naval Architects
New builds, materials, technology, regulation and competitor projects — monitored across the entire global superyacht design landscape.
Why this role is under-served
Design studios have to see what is being built, what regulation will affect a project delivered in three or five years and what technology is genuinely ready — not what a supplier marketing team claims. Miss a rule change or a materials breakthrough and the design work has to be re-done.
The signals tracked continuously
New build announcements, launches and deliveries across European and global yards.
Concept and renderings released by competing studios and yards.
Regulatory horizon — IMO, MCA, MARPOL and class rule proposals with real design impact.
Materials, structural and composite qualifications by major class societies.
Propulsion, energy, stabilisation and bridge system developments.
Owner and market signals shaping the length, type and configuration of forward projects.
The cost of chasing information yourself
Design teams currently piece the picture together from trade press, LinkedIn, class publications and supplier newsletters — none of which are structured, searchable or auditable. Superyacht Intelligence gives the studio a single, sourced surface for design-relevant intelligence.
Concrete deliverables
A daily briefing filtered for design-relevant regulation, materials and competitor work.
Watchlists on specific yards, studios, size ranges and technology domains.
Alerts on rule changes affecting the design envelope of live projects.
A studio workspace to save, tag and reference intelligence during concept work.
How it supports the calls you have to make
- 01How to size a design to survive incoming regulatory constraints.
- 02Which materials and systems to specify with confidence based on class qualification.
- 03How to position the studio's next release against confirmed competitor movement.
- 04How to advise clients on future-proof design choices with hard evidence.
Examples from this role's feed
- 01New design unveiled — 95m explorer concept with hybrid-electric propulsion and ice-class hull.
- 02Class society publishes draft rules affecting glass surface area on yachts above 60m.
- 03Lightweight composite material qualified for primary superstructure use by major class society.
