How we work

Yachting is the Winner®

 

At Sparkman & Stephens, we believe that tradition and innovation go hand-in-hand. It’s important to have a strong foundation of knowledge and expertise, and it’s paramount to build on that foundation with technological advances that improve the experience of yachting.

Innovation comes in many shapes and forms. Sparkman & Stephens looks to optimize every powerboat, megayacht and sailing yacht starting from the first lines that the naval architect creates on the drafting board. We then follow through with technological advancements in construction and design, as well as systems integration, all leading to a synergy of innovation when the yacht takes to the water. Our custom manufacturing techniques yield sleek results.

We embrace new technology with a deep understanding of how yachtsmen and women actually use their megayachts, motor yachts and sailing yachts, in all kinds of environments, all around the globe.

The S&S Design Experience


Through every phase from conception to completion, we demand excellence.

Optimized Hull Form

With our database of over 2,800 designs, spanning 90 years, we draw on history for guidance and inspiration.  But, we are also, as always, firmly committed to innovation and development.

Our designs use hull forms that are analyzed and optimized with the most up-to-date and forward thinking hydrodynamic techniques.  We use both Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and tank testing to ensure our hulls and appendages perform to the highest level possible.
