Zurn Yacht Design is known for the fine aesthetics and performance of its designs in power and sail. Since our beginnings in 1993, we have won acclaim for more than 725 launches of designs commissioned by a growing list of custom and production clientele.
“All our boats are the result of taking advantage of design and materials for optimal handling and performance,” says founder Doug Zurn. “Having grown up sailing I have an appreciation for the ocean and understand the limits it imposes: How do you make the onboard experience more comfortable? How do you make it more enjoyable from a standpoint of performance? How do you protect yourself? The reward for me is to see the way my clients enjoy using my designs no matter what mother nature throws their way.”
Based in Marblehead, Massachusetts, we offer end-to-end design and engineering services. Our services include conceptual mockups, shop drawings, three-dimensional visualizations, and material specifications.
“We also can manage the build project,” Zurn says. “We don’t just set a client loose with designs to try to find someone to build it properly. We work with the builder, and we’re there every step of the way, helping make sure the vision of the design translates to reality.”
