Philosophy

Since 1993, Zurn Yacht Design has been a valuable resource for aesthetically pleasing yachts whose performance excel beyond expectations; bringing timeless designs to discriminating clientele in sail, power and most recently, paddle. We are adept at every phase of the design process and pay attention to all the details, to the very end. With over 450 power and sailboats built in the last 25 years it’s difficult not to recognize a Zurn Design as she passes in the water.

Designing yachts is about bringing peoples ideas to fruition. At Zurn Yacht Design, we are liaisons between the client and the builder. In simple form, we translate the client’s wishes into two and three-dimensional drawings that allow the chosen such builder to effectively do their job. Doing this in a fashion that the end result is good looking, efficient and safe (not necessarily in that order) is the challenge we endeavor each day. It is very clear that form and function need to work in stride when designing a yacht. The attention given to each detail, several times throughout the design process, is the number one key element of any successful design. Not a single detail can be left alone. This is what we strive for.
