When Philippe and Veerle realised that owners were
wanting and needing a different type of motor yacht they
decided to respond by creating a perfectly personalised
and beautiful new concept. Briand used his experience and
understanding of advanced hydrodynamics and production
engineering to integrate new technologies into his innovative
designs. He believes that creating the perfect motor yacht
is a combination of science, the rigours of naval architecture,
and art.
The Vitruvius team bring a fresh honed take on naval architecture, through the proprietary Briand Optimized Hull, plumb bow
and stretched lines that are given to all Vitruvius Yachts. This
results in a high-performance vessel that offers maximum
efficiency and stability with outstanding cruising range.
Briand’s minimalistic style is born out of a desire to make
the hull shape as efficient as possible. “I am fighting
against the traditional shape. I always keep the waterline as long as possible,” explains Briand. “The longer it
is the less it is going to consume, the hull slices through
the water with much less resistance and drag. I believe
that further regulation on design is inevitable so a more
efficient hull could also greatly increase refit value.”
The team design each Vitruvius yacht to be as streamlined as
possible, built around the balanced interior spaces as
specified by the owner to suit their own particular lifestyle. A
Vitruvius yacht offers a timeless, elegant place to live, voyage
and luxuriate in exactly the manner each owner chooses.
