yacht industry
Our work in the yachting world is driven by a deep and enduring love for the sea and the art of sailing. From sailing yachts to powerboats, we believe that true excellence lies in both mastering the smallest details and embracing a fully integrated design vision.
We use advanced simulation and validation tools early in the design process to reduce uncertainty, avoid costly iterations, and streamline development from concept to construction.
In a competitive market, we help brands stand out with performance-driven, visually distinctive, and technically refined designs; balancing innovation with real-world feasibility.
By integrating digital workflows, CFD, and performance prediction tools, we shorten development cycles and accelerate decision-making; bringing new vessels to market with confidence and speed.
We combine hydrodynamic expertise with design efficiency to deliver optimized yachts tailored for real-world performance.
Our team works closely with shipyards and suppliers to ensure smooth integration from early design stages through to production.
Through advanced modeling, we refine every surface for lift, drag, and stability, maximizing performance under racing and cruising conditions.
We use high-fidelity CFD tools to validate design choices, reduce prototyping costs, and predict performance before the yacht hits the water.

In 2021, Caponnetto Hueber led the CFD, foil design, and hydrodynamic engineering for the AC75 of Luna Rossa Challenge, the eventual Prada Cup winner. We deployed multiscale CFD and aero-hydro coupling to ensure optimum lift and control. Rapid iteration delivered performance gains under tight competition timelines.
