Naval Architecture
Preparing for a far better future.
CONVERSION
New designs are often the first choice, but there is something truly exciting about giving new purpose to a vessel, and the favorable aspects of yacht conversions are plentiful.​
The process begins with both putting an Owner's dreams onto paper, and picking the suitable pre-existing ship as the canvas to work with. We then create the Concept Design, before handpicking the shipyard which will best suit the project.
​
From then onwards we take care of the overseeing of the project: liaisons with the yard, suppliers, interior designers, conducting regular onsite supervision, and tending to all deadlines, till completion and launch of the newborn vessel.
REFIT
With our keen understanding of the mathematics of ship structure, we are a trusted voice in traditional and experimental refit projects worldwide.

INTERIOR & EXTERIOR
The interior and exterior of a vessel should reflect the owner's principles, and exhume their personal style and imagination.
From remodeling lines and mapping out sun exposure to choosing complimentary fabrics, art, and furniture, the interior & exterior styling of vessels is a crucial element to the final visual product. This is why we adapt ourselves to every client's personal vision, and have set in place an interactive and guided procedure which allows their vision to be brought forth.
McFarlane ShipDesign counsels and guides clients through interior and exterior styling using a combination of our in-house team and trusted network of the industry's best names.
