New Build & Yacht Construction

Building a superyacht is one of the most complex and rewarding projects you will ever undertake. Our project management team guides you from initial concept through to delivery, working with the world's finest shipyards and designers.

Your Vision, Our Expertise

A custom-built superyacht is the ultimate expression of personal style and engineering excellence. Every detail — from the hull form to the door handles — is specified to your exact requirements. But the journey from concept to delivery is complex, involving dozens of specialists, thousands of decisions, and millions in investment. Without experienced project management, even the most promising builds can encounter delays, cost overruns, and quality issues.

At Global Super Yacht Charters by Bluebnc Yachting, our new build division provides end-to-end project management that protects your investment and ensures the final product exceeds your expectations. We have established relationships with the world's leading shipyards, naval architects, and interior designers — and the technical expertise to hold them accountable.

The Build Process

A typical new build project follows six distinct phases, each requiring specialist expertise and careful management.

1–3 months
1

Concept & Brief

We work with you to define the vision: size, range, speed, guest capacity, design style, and intended cruising grounds. This brief becomes the foundation for every decision that follows.

3–6 months
2

Naval Architecture & Design

Our partner naval architects translate your brief into a hull form, general arrangement, and preliminary engineering package. Interior designers create mood boards, material palettes, and 3D renderings for your approval.

2–4 months
3

Shipyard Selection & Contract

We evaluate shipyards based on your requirements, budget, and timeline. Our team negotiates the build contract, payment schedule, and specification — ensuring your interests are protected at every stage.

18–36 months

Construction & Supervision

Our project managers conduct regular site visits, review progress against milestones, and ensure build quality meets specification. You receive detailed photo and video updates at every stage.

1–2 months
5

Sea Trials & Delivery

We oversee sea trials to verify performance, systems, and finish quality. Any deficiencies are documented and rectified before final acceptance. We manage the delivery voyage to your chosen destination.

1–2 months

Commissioning & Crew

We coordinate crew recruitment, training, and familiarisation. The yacht is provisioned, registered, and insured — ready for your first voyage or charter season.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to build a superyacht?
Build costs vary enormously depending on size, complexity, builder, and specification. As a general guide: a 40-metre semi-custom motor yacht starts from approximately €15-20 million; a 60-metre custom build from €40-60 million; and a 80-metre+ fully custom superyacht from €100 million upward. These figures include naval architecture, interior design, construction, and project management. Our team provides detailed cost estimates based on your specific brief.
How long does it take to build a superyacht?
A semi-custom yacht in the 30-40 metre range typically takes 18-24 months from contract to delivery. A fully custom 50-60 metre yacht takes 24-36 months. Larger projects of 80 metres and above can take 3-5 years. These timelines include design, engineering, construction, outfitting, sea trials, and delivery. Our project managers work to keep builds on schedule and within budget.
Should I buy a new build or a pre-owned yacht?
Both options have merits. A new build gives you complete control over design, layout, and specification — the yacht is built exactly to your requirements. A pre-owned yacht offers immediate availability and often represents better value, though it may require refitting to match your preferences. Our brokers can advise on the best approach based on your timeline, budget, and requirements.
What is the role of a new build project manager?
A project manager acts as your representative throughout the build process. They review the specification, monitor construction quality, attend milestone inspections, manage change orders, coordinate with the design team, and ensure the shipyard delivers on its contractual obligations. They are your eyes and ears at the yard, protecting your investment and ensuring the final product meets your expectations.
Can you also manage yacht refits?
Yes. Our project management team handles refits of all scales — from cosmetic refreshes and interior redesigns to major structural modifications and engineering upgrades. We work with the world's leading refit yards and manage the entire process from initial scope to re-delivery. A well-executed refit can transform a yacht and significantly increase its value.
