Espen Øino
Espen Øino International specializes in custom naval architecture and exterior design for large motor yachts, high-performance powerboats, and luxury tenders. Founded by naval architect Espen Øino following his early work on the iconic Eco project alongside Martin Francis, the studio delivers tailored engineering and styling solutions for an international client base.
The studio has designed nearly seventy prominent superyachts, earning a reputation for handling ambitious scale and complex engineering.
Notable custom developments include landmark yachts such as Octopus, Dilbar, Skat, Kismet, Serene, Cloudbreak, Galactica Super Nova, Hermitage, Stella Maris, Solandge, Elysian, Infinity, Energy, Luminance, and Launchpad. Each project reflects a distinct design language developed specifically to match individual owner preferences.
Beyond one-off custom projects, Espen Øino International spearheaded the design of the Silver series of fuel-efficient superyachts, along with the 36-meter Silver Yachts Catamaran. The studio also developed the popular Amels 60-meter and 80-meter Limited Editions series, blending custom styling with standardized production platforms to streamline construction timelines for owners.
The portfolio extends to smaller production motorboats, tenders, and advanced marine mobility concepts. The company has produced designs for powerboats including the Windy Shamal, Alizé, Huracan, and SR40, alongside foil-assisted Vandal Explorer catamarans. This range demonstrates the studio’s ability to apply advanced hydrodynamic principles and modern styling across diverse boat types and sizes.
