Engineering
& Complete Yacht Design


The best yachts emerge when technical precision meets genuine understanding of how you want to engage with the ocean. At Praxis Marine, we create complete yacht designs that balance performance with livability and operability—informed by real ocean experience.

Understanding Your Vision


Every design begins with understanding your relationship with the water: how you envision using the yacht, the experiences you seek, operational patterns you anticipate, and the waters you’ll explore. We translate these aspirations into design parameters that shape every technical decision throughout the project.​

Concept Development


Working closely with you, our team develops initial design concepts that reflect your vision. We explore hull forms and performance characteristics suited to your intended use, develop general arrangements that support your lifestyle and operational needs, establish preliminary specifications for systems and equipment, and create visual representations that bring the concept to life.​


Our engineering approach integrates aesthetic vision with seaworthiness. We develop complete structural engineering ensuring strength, stability, and regulatory compliance, design propulsion and mechanical systems for reliability and efficiency in real ocean conditions, engineer electrical systems with appropriate capacity and redundancy, specify tank capacities, plumbing, and HVAC systems for comfort and safety, and ensure all designs meet classification society and flag state requirements.​

Exterior & Interior Design


Our design team provides comprehensive styling services. We create exterior lines that balance aesthetics with functionality, develop interior layouts that reflect your preferences while maximizing space and livability, specify materials and finishes suitable for marine environments, and ensure seamless integration between all design elements.​

Technical Documentation & Specifications


We produce complete technical documentation for construction: detailed construction drawings and specifications, equipment specifications and procurement lists, systems schematics and installation requirements, and all documentation required for classification society approval and regulatory compliance.​

Construction Support


Our involvement continues through construction as your owner’s representative. We coordinate with shipyard during the build, review submittals and shop drawings for compliance with design intent, resolve technical questions and manage design refinements, verify that construction follows approved plans and specifications, and ensure the vessel built matches the vessel designed.​

From initial concept through construction completion, Praxis Marine team creates vessels that perform beautifully at sea while serving the unique relationship you seek with the ocean. The result: a yacht designed not just to look exceptional, but to deliver the experiences you envision.
