At Chartwell Marine, we bring our world-leading expertise in vessel design to the leisure industry, crafting bespoke yachts that offer an unparalleled blend of performance, style, and sustainability. With a heritage rooted in the commercial workboat sector, our designs embody the same robustness and efficiency, tailored for the unique demands of the leisure market.
Whether it’s a 10m chase boat or a 45m super yacht, we approach every project with a focus on quality, creativity, and delivering a vessel that aligns perfectly with the owner’s vision and operational needs.
The concept design phase is not just about aesthetics—it’s where artistry and engineering come together. Chartwell Marine’s naval architects ensure that your yacht’s beauty is matched by technical performance. From the hull shape to the superstructure, every design element is carefully engineered for optimal stability, speed, and fuel efficiency.
Using advanced design tools and techniques like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and tank testing, we test and validate our concepts to ensure they meet your performance expectations on the water. This scientific, data-driven approach to design ensures that your yacht is as functional and reliable as it is striking

Chartwell Marine’s yacht designs are driven by a unique blend of artistry and precision engineering. We understand that a yacht is more than just a vessel; it’s an extension of its owner’s lifestyle, aspirations, and values. Our team of naval architects, designers, and engineers collaborate closely with clients to ensure each yacht is a true reflection of their vision, balancing luxury with cutting-edge technology.
With sustainability at the heart of our designs, we incorporate eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems, and alternative propulsion solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of each yacht without compromising on performance or luxury.
Chartwell Marine’s structural design process begins with a deep understanding of the vessel’s intended use and operational demands. Our naval architects and structural engineers work closely together to create frameworks that are optimised for strength, weight distribution, and durability. This ensures that the yacht’s structure not only supports the vessel’s weight and dynamic loads but also withstands the stresses of the marine environment—ensuring long-term reliability and safety.
Through the use of sophisticated tools like Finite Element Analysis (FEA), we simulate the structural loads experienced by the vessel during real-world operations. This process allows us to identify potential stress points and optimize the structure to enhance strength without adding unnecessary weight. The result is a yacht that is not only robust but also agile, providing owners with confidence in its longevity and performance.
At Chartwell Marine, we offer comprehensive support across the entire vessel lifecycle, ensuring every stage of your project is managed with precision, expertise, and attention to detail. Through our strategic partnership with Cedar Marine, we provide a full suite of third-party vessel build services that guide ship owners and operators from concept design through to build, refit, and repair.
Whether you’re embarking on a new build, seeking project management expertise, or preparing for refit and repair, our vessel lifecycle services are designed to give you peace of mind, knowing that your project is in capable hands. Our team of experienced naval architects, engineers, and surveyors work closely with shipyards and owners to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards.
