Vitruvius Yachts focus only on creating customised yachts.
The yachts are efficient, robust - and remarkable. Each project
is an individual milestone, balancing tradition and innovation
and always responding to the owner’s wishes.
Philippe Briand and his team start with the owner’s brief and
everyone works together on the detail. The team bring to life
all the owner’s ideas on the interior layouts and life on board.
How the owners use the yacht, what equipment to carry,
where the yacht can travel – that is all an individual choice.
Once the lifestyle demands are chosen by the owner the
team can start to identify the volumes the yacht requires and
present the owner with a first concept.
The Vitruvius team then start the naval architecture process for
this bespoke yacht. A yacht needs the perfect ratios to create
comfort at sea and at mooring. Only with meticulous bespoke
architecture and more specifically the appropriate hull can
this be achieved. A yacht needs to be stable and at the same
time cut through the waves. This is where Philippe Briand’s
award-winning expertise, with the Briand Optimized Hull, is
crucial. Briand is also driven by his passion to create the most
efficient and balanced yacht possible, thereby consumingless
fuel and reducing the carbon footprint of the yacht.
As the yacht design evolves the team test and retest the hull
shapes to ensure they are perfect. Every single detail counts
and for about 2 years there is constant surveillance of the
impact of even the smallest aspect. The team work on the
design details and liaise with the owner until they are
totally satisfied. Streamlined and elegant both inside and out,
the owner receives a yacht design which is a materialisation
of their dreams.
