Yacht & Superyacht Design in Florida
Florida is the gateway to American yachting, from Miami and Fort Lauderdale to the Keys and the Bahamas beyond. For US owners and yards, DRAFTXL designs the artistic exterior and interior of bespoke yachts built for sun-soaked cruising and effortless entertaining. For every project we bring in the best naval architects and engineers to turn the concept into a beautifully engineered yacht.
Exterior Yacht Design for Florida & Miami
DESIGNED IN THE YACHTING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
Fort Lauderdale is the yachting capital of the world, and every DRAFTXL project for Florida begins with that pedigree. From Miami and Palm Beach to the Intracoastal and the run across to the Bahamas, we translate your vision into original sketches that give the yacht real soul and character.
Whether you berth in Fort Lauderdale or South Beach, we refine every line with you until the concept is unmistakably yours — a superyacht built for the Florida lifestyle.

FROM SKETCH TO 3D MODEL
Once the concept is approved, we shape the first three-dimensional hull, focusing on performance, shade and open-air living under the Florida sun. Unique lines and volumes define the character that runs through every detail.
A preliminary 3D model of each deck lets you experience sun decks, beach clubs and easy dockside entertaining long before the build — ready to present at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

BESPOKE DETAILS, TAILORED TO YOU
We curate materials, shapes, textures and finishes so the yacht feels like a natural extension of your taste, chosen to handle sun and salt while staying effortlessly elegant.
For owners in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, we design yachts as comfortable at the marina as on a weekend run to the Keys.

VISUALIZATIONS THAT SELL THE VISION
The soul of a design is best captured in striking visualizations — lighting, reflections and materials rendered so you can see exactly how the yacht will look against the turquoise of Florida's coast.
These renders and sketches are invaluable when presenting a concept to a shipyard or unveiling it at the Fort Lauderdale or Miami boat shows.

Yacht & Superyacht Interior Design
INTERIORS FOR THE FLORIDA LIFESTYLE
Yacht interior design for a Florida owner starts with how you want to live aboard — day-cruising off Miami, hosting at Palm Beach, crossing to the islands. We merge your expectations with refined aesthetics into sketches and a mood board of materials and bespoke furnishings.
From this emerges a light, breezy interior concept that feels like home the moment you step aboard.

FROM CONCEPT TO ADVANCED INTERIOR DESIGN
With the concept approved, we develop the three-dimensional interior layout, balancing ergonomics, airflow and atmosphere for the Florida climate.
Custom furnishings, surface transitions and lighting are crafted into a cohesive space, and 3D models let you assess comfort and flow before the build.

DETAILS & PERSONALISATION
At this stage craftsmanship matters most. We refine fabric textures, furniture shapes, lighting, colours and surfaces until every detail feels harmonious and welcoming.
The result is a bright, relaxed retreat on the water — an interior tailored to your taste and to life on Florida's coast.
