  1. the designing of ships.

Our qualified team is here to help you whether it be a simple concept or complete detailed design for your vessel. Our extensive background covers all areas of vessel design and construction including any and all services related to Naval Architecture, with experience in both the Yacht and Commercial markets. Pelagic’s team has worked on a variety of custom projects, ranging from involvement with small boat builders to some of the largest yachts in the world. 

When performing a refit or undergoing a new build, we know it is best to keep the same team on your project from concept through completion, but that is not always possible. Pelagic can enter a design at any point, sort through available information and take the project all the way to completion.

  • Concept, Preliminary, and Detailed Design/Engineering

  • Feasibility Studies

  • Lightship Surveys and Incline Tests

  • Intact and Damage Stability Analysis
