Understanding the owner drives the selection of designer and shipyard

The success of any new-build project is defined by this critical phase

This phase is all about detail, removing any ambiguity from the project

Steel is cut, the keel is laid and concept becomes reality

System are tested, the crew learn their roles, and a new journey begins

We are delighted to announce the purchase of the second hull of Cantiere delle Marche's FLEXPLORER 165 series, with Burgess representing the buyer. The in-build yacht is scheduled for delivery in 2027

Members of the Burgess New Build and Brokerage teams visited no fewer than eight Italian shipyards in May 2024. The aim was to understand each shipyard’s USP and familiarise themselves with the yachts our clients can buy

Rory Boyle, Naval Architect and Sean Bianchi, Naval Architect and Head of Burgess Technical Services, take you into the shipyard to explore their stand-out features from previous projects and glean insights from their professional journeys

Burgess has bought, sold, managed, chartered, crewed, insured, built and refitted hundreds of yachts from 40-180m. We know what works and what doesn’t. That’s how we help you build a better yacht

PROJECT OPTIMA began, like many great things do, as a conversation at a dinner party. The discussion began: if we were to design the perfect yacht to own, one that minimised risk for the owner on every front, what would it look like?

We are delighted to announce that the 76.1m Feadship ALVIA was delivered to her owner at the Royal Van Lent shipyard in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on 30 April 2024
