At Zurn Yacht Design, we adhere to an efficient and thorough design and build process. Once Doug meets with a client, and before he returns to his desk, ideas are percolating. Drawings are visualized in his mind’s eye, then translated into an unparalleled combination of aesthetics and engineering aided by modern tools.
“When we meet with the client, the moment of truth arrives when we unveil the design,” Zurn says. “Once the design comes out and stands on its own on the drawing table, if it’s not relaxed and balanced, we figure out why, and change it.”
The firm works with a range of custom and production builders to create the industry’s most sought-after yachts. Project management includes three-dimensional visualizations and material specifications. We handle the needs of any project via phone, email, paper, and real-time web conferencing to ensure accurate, accountable, and timely transfer of data. We supply builders and vendors with updated drawings and information, and we respond quickly to shop-floor questions so that production never needs to wait for engineering.
“Our designs take advantage of technology, including proven construction techniques and advanced materials, lightweight coring and high-strength fabrics—the best that is out there,” Zurn says. “These boats deliver performance, and will hold up and keep performing for generations.”
