The internationally acclaimed naval architect and yacht designer Philippe Briand made his name designing award-winning sailing yachts (www.philippebriand.com) and building on that experience has led him to create a revolutionary range of motor yachts: Vitruvius Yachts.

Vitruvius Yachts by Philippe Briand

Under the Vitruvius banner, Briand has developed an instantly recognizable aesthetic that is efficient, practical and beautiful, covering the full spectrum of motor yachts from conventional Lifestyle cruisers to exceptionally adventurous Expedition vessels. Believing that the motor yacht market fits onto a spectrum with three major categories: Lifestyle yachts sit at one end, highly autonomous and specialized Expedition yachts are at the other, and versatile Explorer yachts sit somewhere in between the two, depending on their owners’ requirements for equipment. Naturally, all the yachts, whatever their category definition, need to be comfortable, seaworthy and efficient. Vitruvius Yachts are also 30% more efficient than other yachts of comparable size.

The impressive range of Vitruvius Yachts may range in size to over 100m in length, but Briand’s meticulous attention to detail means they are perfected to the nearest millimetre. This dedicated approach to intelligent, sustainable yet stunningly elegant design has been recognised internationally with 34 prestigious yacht awards so far. Philippe Briand has motor yachts under construction at Feadship, Perini Navi, Rossinavi and Sanlorenzo.

With over 12.000 of his sailing yacht designs are in the water, Philippe Briand could reasonably be considered the most prolific yacht designer of our time. His loyal client base of extremely discerning owners appreciate his collaborative approach to design – they are involved at every stage of shaping their own remarkable superyacht. His designs stand out for their technical excellence and precision, combined with his strong artistic flair and ability to drive innovative design trends as he seeks perfection.

From offices in both London and La Rochelle, Briand and his team of designers and engineers work with yacht owners around the world, who are looking to minimise the impact on the environment from their yachting activities, by choosing vessels that offer higher efficiency and lower emissions.
