Adam Lay Studio Exclusive Yacht Design

ADAM LAY STUDIO is an exclusive yacht design studio based in England, known in the superyacht industry for their work on such important luxury vessels as the 44m sailing yacht Artemis (ex Salperton III), the 45m charter yacht Salperton IV, 41-metre luxury yacht Inmocean, the 61m Lurssen Lady Kathryn V, the Benetti charter yacht Red Anchor and the 39.5 m J-Class sailing yacht Endeavour, amongst others. Following 8 years of working for one of the best custom superyacht design companies in the world, Adam Lay and his wife Kelda decided to open their own studio and since 2003 have been building its reputation for award-winning creative designs combined with a discreet, honest and conscientious approach.

The designer himself has an honours degree in Industrial Design, specialising in yacht design, from the Coventry University. As part of his degree, he worked with an established English Naval Architect, where his enthusiasm for luxury yacht design developed. Adam comes from a long line of shipbuilders from the North-East of England, carrying on with this family tradition since the 1800s.

"I designed my first yacht in 1993 and my time working with John Munford encouraged the perfectionist in me and taught me the skills I needed to be a successful yacht designer." (Adam Lay)

Adam Lay Studio is known for their excellent collaboration with clients and their ability to put dreams and ideas down on paper. Adam Lay Studio creates elegant hand drawings, with the efficiency needed to design to a deadline. Each client's project is one of a selected few, ensuring quality combined with personal attention.

All clients are directly attended by Adam Lay himself as the principal of the company and every project is dealt with passion and treated as priority. The company strives to provide what they believe to be the most exclusive bespoke luxury yacht design service available.
