Anticipating and building on owners' desires before they have even been conceived, Lateral is at the very forefront of innovation in modern yacht design and architecture. Having worked on such iconic yachts as 109m Project Bravo, 106.7m Black Pearl and 85.6m Aquila, there is no doubt that the team at Lateral know exactly what goes into building a true icon of the sea.
Lateral Naval Architects are committed to making yachting a more eco-conscious field. Brought together by a shared passion for sailing, the team at Lateral are motivated by leaving our seas in the same condition as we found them, and are constantly pushing the agenda for alternative fuel sources and greener practices.
