Quotes

‘…total originality in yacht design has become more difficult to attain following Jon Bannenberg’s masterful levels of creative daring.’ – “I don’t want to lead everything back to my dad — but it’s well known and accepted that, whether it’s his big round windows, or certain lines, or a way of treating wings on a superstructure, they all inspired many people and I think that’s fair game. I think all people’s design processes, whether subliminal or not, are recalling something — whether it’s something that’s stirred, or triggered something, or sparked an idea, or an unintentional homage to someone.” – Dickie Bannenberg talks of yacht design and his father Jon Bannenberg’s groundbreaking work.

“The way we design, is we design fully custom, fully unique yachts, we start with a blank piece of paper and we start asking the client how they use the boat, what they want to do on board, what kind of experience they have but we also want input on what kind of styling they like… It’s about getting to learn about the owner and how they want to use the boat.” – Ronno Schouten, Design Manager of De Voogt Naval Architects
