Chartwell Marine

Based in Hamble, UK, Chartwell Marine is a naval architecture and consultancy firm recognized for its expertise in designing award-winning, high-speed hulls. While the studio has a strong heritage in the commercial workboat and offshore wind sectors, it successfully applies this technical robustness to the leisure market, crafting bespoke yachts that prioritize performance, efficiency, and safety.

The team manages every stage of the design process, from initial conceptual studies to final sea trials and stability analysis. Their portfolio is diverse, ranging from agile 10-meter chase boats to 45-meter superyachts.

By maintaining a global outlook with presence in Spain and Portugal, Chartwell Marine collaborates with leading shipbuilders worldwide to ensure that each project reflects the owner’s vision while meeting the rigorous demands of modern maritime operations.

A core pillar of the firm’s philosophy is a commitment to sustainability. Chartwell Marine has been at the forefront of low-emission vessel design, having delivered one of the first hybrid crew-transfer vessels in the UK. This dedication to innovation extends to the development of zero-emission propulsion technologies and efficient ferry designs.

By merging creative engineering with environmentally conscious practices, the studio provides innovative solutions that push the boundaries of maritime engineering for the next generation of boats and yachts.
