Kasten Marine Design, Inc.

Our primary focus is Custom Yacht Design. Our specialty is the design of personal yachts large and small for ocean voyaging; for luxury charters; or for all-around family cruising. Whether we are creating a new yacht design or modifying an existing design, our mission is to combine an owner's wishes with graceful aesthetics, human-friendly design, competent analysis, maximum performance, robust structure, and of course - classic form.

We use up to date methods, including software created specifically for the task of hull modeling, for stability and performance analyses, and for streamlining the construction process. This provides the best opportunity for a thorough analysis of hull form, and allows us to optimize the design in ways that were just not possible in years past.

Our goal is to provide a complete "design service" from the point of imagining a new vessel, through creating the ideal solution to those conjurings, then seeing that it gets built as designed. Our specific task is to take a boat design all the way from the napkin sketch, through the genesis of complete building plans, to actual construction. When requested to do so, we also provide several "construction related services" such as creating computer cut parts or to provide additional drawings and documentation for classification.

Performance, sea keeping, strength, economy and beauty... these are always the qualities sought in one's habitat on the water. For more information of how we go about assuring those qualities in our boats and on the yacht design process itself, please visit our website at www.kastinemarine.com.
