Luxury Yachts and Yachting:
It has been said that the best way to learn about a subject is to write a book about it. Substitute "blog" for "book" and that is what I hope to accomplish here, while sharing my knowledge with all those who are interested in the subject of yachts, yachting and yacht design as well. I will start with broad topics and work my way down into detail. Along the way I hope my readers will offer freely their own insights, questions and topics they wish to see explored. (To avoid spam I will moderate all comments.)
The first topic I will cover is a brief overview of the current leaders in yacht design. Among the leaders of luxury yacht design and construction must be included the following:
Ferretti Group (Italy)
Azimut (Italy)
Azimut-Benetti (Italy)
Feadship (Netherlands)
Oceanco (Netherlands)
Sunseeker (United Kingdom)
Lurssen (Germany)
Blohm + Voss (Germany)
Peters Schiffbau (Germany)
Aegean Yachts (Turkey)
Platinum Yachts (United Arab Emirates)
Gulf Craft (United Arab Emirates)
Wally Yachts (Monaco)
Brunswick Boat Group (United States)
Christensen Yachts (United States)
Cheoy Lee (Hong Kong, China)
In future blog posts I will touch on the history and products of each of the above companies. Please send me the names of any other companies you would like to have included in this list.
