A yacht designer is a professional who specializes in creating and planning the design of yachts, which are luxury boats used for recreation. They combine artistic vision with technical knowledge to ensure that the yacht is not only visually appealing but also functional and safe. This involves working on the yacht's exterior shape, interior layout, and overall aesthetics. Yacht designers often collaborate with engineers and builders to bring their designs to life. They must consider factors such as materials, performance, and environmental impact. Their work can range from designing small sailing boats to large motor yachts, catering to various client preferences and needs.
