SPIRIT YACHTS’ MODERN CLASSIC, ELEGANT DESIGN STYLE IS WORLD-RENOWNED.

Subtle variations on 1930s classic yacht design with long overhangs, low profiles and smooth lines, all married to contemporary underwater profiles, are synonymous with Spirit’s modern classic sail and power yachts.

All Spirit yachts have core characteristics in common: beautiful aesthetics, ease of handling and a celebration of wood. Spirit Yachts are designed to be as beautiful in 100 years as they are today.

No two Spirits are the same, and each is customised to suit its owner’s lifestyle. Only the level of customisation varies.

Every Spirit is unique.

ATTENTION
TO DETAIL

Spirit’s attention to detail in delivering on a brief is at the heart of every design. Initial discussions establish an owner’s plans and ideas for the yacht. Spirit then creates a specification and a design for reflection and refinement. Hand-drawn designs evolve into digital images ready for full computer design analysis. Whilst entirely optional, all existing and prospective customers are encouraged to become actively involved in the design process, which becomes a memorable and personal experience.
