Yacht & Superyacht Design in Monaco
Monaco sits at the heart of the superyacht world, home to the Monaco Yacht Show and a berth for many of the largest yachts afloat. For owners on the Côte d'Azur, DRAFTXL designs the artistic exterior and interior of bespoke yachts built to command attention in Port Hercule and cruise the Riviera in style. For every project we bring in the naval architects and engineers needed to realise a true work of art.
Exterior Yacht Design for the French Riviera
DESIGNED FOR THE CÔTE D’AZUR
From Port Hercule in Monaco to Cannes, Antibes and Saint-Tropez, the French Riviera is the world's superyacht capital — and every DRAFTXL project here begins with that setting in mind. We translate your vision into original hand-drawn sketches that give the yacht real soul and character.
Whether you berth at Port Vauban in Antibes or anchor off Cap Ferrat, we refine every line with you until the concept is unmistakably yours — a superyacht built to turn heads on the Riviera.

FROM SKETCH TO 3D MODEL
Once the concept is approved, we shape the first three-dimensional hull, focusing on ergonomics, flow and life under the Mediterranean sun. Unique lines and volumes define the character that runs through every detail.
A preliminary 3D model of each deck lets you experience shaded decks, beach clubs and al-fresco living long before the build — ready to present at the Monaco Yacht Show.

BESPOKE DETAILS, TAILORED TO YOU
We curate materials, shapes, textures and finishes so the yacht feels like a natural extension of your taste. Fabrics, surfaces, lighting and branding are refined until the whole vessel feels effortlessly elegant.
For owners between Monaco, Cannes and Saint-Tropez, we marry bold, original styling with the timeless elegance of Riviera living.

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 blue of the Côte d'Azur.
These renders and sketches are invaluable when presenting a concept to a shipyard, or unveiling it at the Monaco Yacht Show or the Cannes Yachting Festival.

Yacht & Superyacht Interior Design
INTERIORS FOR THE RIVIERA LIFESTYLE
Yacht interior design for a Monaco or Riviera owner starts with how you want to live aboard — long summers from Saint-Tropez to Portofino, entertaining at anchor off Cannes. We merge your expectations with refined aesthetics into sketches and a mood board of luxury materials and bespoke furnishings.
From this emerges a distinctive 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, usability and atmosphere with the standards Riviera owners expect.
Custom furnishings, surface transitions and lighting are crafted into a cohesive space, and 3D models let you experience 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 refined retreat on the water — an interior tailored to your taste and to the elegance of the Côte d'Azur.

The character of an interior is best captured in detailed visualizations — lighting, reflections and chosen materials rendered so you can see exactly how each cabin and salon will feel at sea.
