The Master in Yacht Design aims to train professionals capable of governing the design and construction process of a yacht, from concept to on-site verification, mastering each phase of the project: the interior design, sail and deck equipment and plant engineering, on-site production processes and control of the executive phases.
The training course is organized as a dynamic laboratory, the “shipyards lab”: the master includes therefore, a theoretical-practical approach, but it provides also lessons about design and technical experimentation and the choice of materials.
The educational program is structured to provide direct, practical, essential experience to gain control of a complex nautical process.
The thematic areas, has been designed to include all disciplines related to yacht design and marine lifestyle, including computerized and 3D design, the material studies and the latest methods and system constructions , environmental sustainability constraints and required certifications in the laws. The Yacht Design Master also provides all the essential cultural tools and historical knowledge usefull for the yacht designer.
The course will be held in Marina di Carrara, C/O the Academy of
The Master in Yacht Design is aimed at anyone who wants to enter or specialise in a prestigious and innovative sector, where design excellence is combined with the technical and technological challenges of the nautical world. It is an opportunity to transform a passion or technical background into a career in an international and high-profile field.
