Production
Production yachts are roughly 80 percent of the yachts you’ll see on the water today. A production yacht ranges from the smallest of around 32ft to about 100 feet. The new build process for these yachts is fairly simple because there is a limited amount of input a client can make to change the design of the yacht. We can assist you in allocating a production slot, choosing options, furnishings, tenders, soft goods and decorations. Aside from those few items, the shipyard may give clients the choice between two different layouts.

Once you make the decision to build a certain boat with a particular layout, the project will commence, and the details will be worked out between us and the shipyard so that you don’t have to worry about anything else. We will, of course, aid in the process of crew placement, if need be, documentation, permitting, insurance and services/warranty claims thereafter. The production boat is the best place to start yachting – it is easier to find parts, less expensive to build and will also give owners an idea of what they’d change on their next yacht.
Semi-Custom
This is the most popular strategy in the custom yacht industry. Many factors lead clients to choose a semi-custom yacht such as an Amels 60 Meter series. The naval architecture is in place, the exterior design of the hull and superstructure are in place, this will reduce the build time and cost for the client while also providing peace of mind that they are on a well-proven platform. The semi-custom yachts available usually range between 80-200ft (24-60 meters) and are limited as to how much the client can edit the design of the yacht. There are many shipyards that build semi-custom yachts in the sense that they will let a prospective buyer choose materials for the interior, layouts of the upper decks, modify flybridges with accessories, add some amenities within the space and so on. Certain items can’t be modified with semi-custom yachts such as the hull design, exterior structure, propulsion and exterior construction materials.

Our function in one of these projects is to first and foremost, find the correct platform for our client. Get all of the client’s visions on the designer’s table, come up with a schedule with the shipyard and suppliers, manage the project through the build and finally deliver the yacht to her owner. We will continue to work closely with the yacht’s crew in order to keep the operation running smoothly thereafter.


Custom
This is a magical process in which we sit with you, speak about your ideas and visions and build a base to begin working. The client’s input is the core to all full custom builds. The most popular custom builds are those found over 160ft, however, certain clients will opt to build a smaller fully custom vessel like a 50ft sportfishing boat. We work closely with you at first, getting to know all of your desires in terms of appearance, performance, amenities, materials, and all other special requirements you may have. Starting by analyzing all the different interior and exterior designers, we will choose a select few to provide us with their best representation of your visions. Once the design is chosen, we move to shipyards to bid on who is the best candidate for the job. Once the yard is chosen, a contract will be drafted which will be very specific in terms of expectations and requirements. Of course, there are many other steps to this process which we would be happy to discuss with you.

This segment of yachting really has no limits. You can achieve the unimaginable and make it come together in perfect harmony. Custom builds are usually yachts greater than 160ft or 50 meters, which makes this the rarest form of yacht on the water today.
Our function is to make a plan with your dreams and visions, present you with the best candidates for each job and help you choose the right team for the project. When the project commences, we will be there every step of the build process making sure every aspect of the yacht is exactly as it was envisioned by you. We will personally be visiting the shipyard regularly and sending you updates as to the progress and any question that may need your attention. While the vessel is being constructed, we will begin the delicate search for the perfect crew to maintain the ship and serve you on board. Working with a boutique brokerage house like MMG Yachts means continued after care long after your dream yacht has been launched.
