At British Superyacht, our mission has always been anchored in a singular, powerful objective: bringing together the globally renowned quality and excellence of the superyacht industry around the British Isles. As the luxury marine sector evolves, staying ahead of the curve requires an unyielding commitment to innovation, safety, and cutting-edge engineering. That is why we are absolutely thrilled to officially welcome two industry powerhouses to our membership portfolio: Foreship and RINA.
Both businesses bring an extraordinary depth of international expertise to our network, reinforcing the UK’s position as a vibrant, central hub for global superyacht excellence.
Foreship: Pioneering Naval Architecture and Sustainability
Foreship has earned a stellar reputation as a premier independent ship design, naval architecture, and marine engineering consultancy. Known globally for handling highly complex projects—ranging from high-end commercial vessels to magnificent, custom expedition yachts—their team of over 100 specialists excels at turning ambitious design concepts into technical realities.
What makes Foreship a particularly exciting addition to our portfolio is their industry-leading focus on the energy transition. As the superyacht sector navigates the essential shift toward decarbonisation, Foreship’s practical expertise in alternative fuels, energy efficiency, and net-zero roadmaps will be an invaluable asset to our community. Whether managing complex hull forms or pioneering sustainable refits, they bring a forward-thinking ethos that aligns perfectly with our members' vision.
RINA: Setting the Gold Standard in Yacht Classification
Joining alongside them is RINA, a truly global leader in maritime classification, certification, and engineering consultancy. With a rich history spanning more than two decades in the yachting sector, RINA has become a trusted partner for the world’s most ambitious custom superyacht projects.
Through their dedicated premier brand, RINA MAXIMA, they provide top-tier services tailored specifically to the unique needs of luxury mega-yachts. From complex cyber security and noise/vibration solutions to navigating the intricate maze of international regulatory compliance, RINA ensures that vessels are not only breathtakingly beautiful but also exceptionally safe and structurally sound. Their constructive, partnership-first approach to yacht classification transforms what is often seen as a bureaucratic hurdle into a collaborative framework for operational excellence.
Stronger Together in Leading the Industry
The arrival of Foreship and RINA highlights a fantastic synergy within our membership, especially given Foreship’s position as part of the wider RINA group. Together, their combined capabilities span the entire lifecycle of a superyacht—from the initial spark of design and sustainable engineering to lifelong class certification, fleet management, and refit oversight.
By integrating these world-class organisations into our network, we are fostering the exact kind of high-level collaboration that moves our entire community forward. It proves that when we pool our expertise, insights, and passion, we truly are Stronger Together in Leading the Industry.
