A primary focus for Liebowitz & Pritchard has been the design and development of 75+m ocean-going motor yachts for notable clientele. Variations translate to potential projects well over 100m. Full draft, long-endurance heavy-weather global operation is common to all, as is a formidable aesthetic style and appearance.
Common themes include references to existing / known shipyard technical platforms, commercial ship naval architecture and propulsion systems including “hybrid” diesel / electric, dynamic positioning (non-anchor offshore station holding), advanced helicopter operations (if required), sophisticated ship’s tender deployment and stowage, state-of-the-art life safety equipment (including fully-enclosed self-propelled lifeboats), boarding systems for quayside and ship’s “beach”, special canopies, and effective exterior circulation.
Interior characteristics include vari-function public spaces, inclusion of tall or multi-deck spaces, segregated Owner apartment, thoughtful crew mobility, effective emergency egress, and best-practice space planning aimed at addressing “intangibles” which can fosters environments that don’t simply “look good”, but inherently “feel good.”
Yachts in this series include sizes of 75m, 77m, 82m, and 100+m.
