“Every yacht begins with a dream. We help you transform that vision into reality by guiding you through every stage of the build process—from finding the right design and shipyard to taking delivery of your completed vessel.”

Owner’s Representation &

New Build Management

Every yacht begins with a dream. At Praxis Marine, our first step is understanding that dream through careful conversation—your vision, your plans, and what draws you to the water.
From there, we help you find the yacht that can bridge your aspirations with ocean reality. Whether working with established designs or collaborating with our design and engineering team to create something entirely new, we guide you to the vessel that truly serves your intended experiences.
Our comprehensive support covers every stage: identifying the right shipyard, navigating early negotiations, finalizing contracts, overseeing construction, managing delivery, ensuring smooth warranty processes, and connecting you with the right crew for your adventures.
What distinguishes our approach is maritime wisdom earned through years commanding yachts across the world's oceans, managing complex builds, and designing proven vessels. This hands-on experience allows us to understand how design decisions translate into comfortable, safe life at sea—knowledge that guides every recommendation we make throughout your build.
