Burgess – the smart way to build a yacht
Published 29 十月 2025
Building a yacht is one of the most rewarding experiences in ownership, filled with the excitement of creation and the anticipation of launch, but it’s also one of the most complex. Every decision, from the choice of shipyard to the smallest interior detail, has a lasting impact. With Burgess by your side, every decision becomes simpler, smarter, and shaped entirely around you.
With so many shipyards and types of yacht – from production to fully custom – knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. That’s where the Burgess New Build team comes in. Drawing on our 360-degree expertise, we help you strike the perfect balance of technical precision and commercial insight to ensure you get exactly the yacht you want.
End-to-end trusted expertise
What sets Burgess apart is the strength and depth of our in-house expertise. We are the only yachting company to offer a truly end-to-end service, combining naval architects, marine engineers, project managers, brokers and yacht managers working together under one roof.
Every expert advocates exclusively for your interests, keeping your project fully aligned from first enquiry, through delivery, and into life on board.
'From choosing which yacht from which yard, right through to sea trials and handover, all our knowledge is on your side,' says Rory Boyle, Head of New Build Sales. 'We optimise quality, protect your investment, and work tirelessly to ensure a timely, on budget delivery without compromise.'
Your project, in expert hands
Over the past five decades, we’ve delivered over 60 yachts for numerous owners – many returning clients – across over 27 shipyards worldwide. That experience gives our team an unmatched perspective: the ability to see the full picture while mastering the smallest detail.
'If you were building a house,' explains Rory, 'you wouldn't hand over the plans and wait for the keys. You’d have specialists ensuring every line and finish is exactly as intended. A yacht build deserves the same care – it's about protecting your vision from day one.'
Our role is to translate your lifestyle, taste and priorities into a yacht that reflects them perfectly. We take the time to understand what matters to you, help you ask the right questions, and make sure the answers lead to informed, confident decisions.
The Burgess advantage
When you build with Burgess, you gain access to:
- A hugely experienced team on your side with unparalleled market insight
- Visibility of off market build opportunities and early shipyard availability
- Clear, impartial guidance on the right build path – custom, semi-custom, or production
- Full commercial, technical and operational support
- Regular on-site representation at the shipyard for total project control
- Specification refinement to optimise performance, comfort and long-term value
- 360-degree lifecycle services to support your yacht long after delivery
Relationships that make the difference
Our global reach is backed by local presence. With technical specialists embedded in key shipbuilding hubs such as Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey, we maintain close, trusted relationships with the world’s leading shipyards. These connections give Burgess clients a genuine edge: faster communication, and the ability to resolve challenges before they become problems.
'Having someone the yards know, trust and respect changes everything,' says Rory. 'It means better collaboration, faster solutions, and builds that run smoother from start to finish.'
'2025 has been a hugely successful year for new build deliveries at Burgess, with over 12,000GT being delivered at leading shipyards across Europe – from Germany and the Netherlands to Italy and Turkey. And it’s this practical build knowledge that is carried across to every project when you build with Burgess.
'So whichever shipyard you choose for your build, we already have long-established relationships that will ensure your project is extremely successful.' Peter Brown, Senior Partner, Senior Sales Broker

Protecting your investment
Our commercial insight is built on decades of market experience, from brokerage data to charter performance and resale trends. That intelligence enables us to advise not just on cost, but on value: helping you make decisions that preserve flexibility and protect long-term resale potential.
'Our job is to make sure every decision adds value – technically, financially, and personally,' adds Rory. 'It’s that balance that makes a Burgess build smarter.'
Beyond the build
A yacht build doesn’t end after delivery, and neither does our service. Once your yacht is delivered, Burgess continues to support every aspect of ownership, from warranty oversight and crew recruitment to charter strategy and refit planning.
That continuity means the collective expertise that guided your build remains at your side throughout your ownership journey.
Build better, together
Our role is to protect the owner’s vision and deliver it without compromise. It’s a delicate balancing act, but we’ve refined it into a proven process that constantly delivers the exceptional. With Burgess by your side at every stage, we handle the details so you can focus on the excitement of watching your yacht come to life.
Explore our delivered yachts for inspiration – and when you’re ready to create something extraordinary, get in touch. Your vision deserves the experience of those who've built the world's best.
