Yacht design

CYD is the oldest continuously operative firm in Italy, with headquarters in Ravenna, just a few miles from the sea. It can handle all aspects of design: from naval architecture to structural calculations and exterior and interior design. Customers can count on a complete and coordinated package that will turn their dreams into reality. Sailing and motor yachts are conceived either for standard or one-off production, with units built in technologically advanced composite materials, wood, aluminium or steel. CYD designs both cruisers and racers, as confirmed by a prestigious list of achievements. For standard vessels CYD normally works in a team with shipyard technicians in order to have better insight into the industrial production process. In the case of a one-off design, the project is developed in tandem with customers, interpreting their expectations and turning them into reality. Respect for the sea and the environment is fundamental to CYD, hence the desire to create yachts that are first and foremost seaworthy.
