ThirtyC

What ThirtyC does

ThirtyC is a privately held UK superyacht design consultancy (ThirtyC Ltd.) providing exterior styling, interior design, 2D and 3D visualization, detail CAD and drawing, supervision and owner representation, plus branding and marketing material production for the marine sector. Its core technical capability rests on digital design workflows: GA layouts, full 2D plans, sections and elevations, lighting plans, high-resolution 3D visuals, and presentation material. The studio also develops proprietary vessel concepts such as the 88m+70m twin-mast DynaRig Project Lotus, the Komodo 53m, Mako 50m, Ascension 60m, Ákos 60m, Axio 100m, a 140m National Flagship proposal, and refit work such as M/Y Chimera and M/Y VALERIE. In the electric and foiling category the firm co-designed the Navier 27 with Bieker Boats and the Falcon E8 tender with Vita Power propulsion.

The business runs as a professional services consultancy on bespoke, project-based engagements. Revenue is generated through direct engagement with UHNWI yacht owners, and through collaboration with shipyards (Royal Huisman, Lürssen), naval architects (Dykstra, Bieker Boats), and a wider ecosystem of AV, fitness, and propulsion specialists. Distribution is direct: enterprise field sales with strong event presence at Monaco Yacht Show and earned media in Boat International, Forbes, and Robb Report. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are custom by project scope, reflecting the bespoke consultancy model. Customer segments span UHNWI owners, charter operators seeking refits, electric vessel manufacturers (Navier, Falcon Tenders), and shipyards/naval architects collaborating on large builds.

ThirtyC operates from a studio in Highleigh, Chichester with a registered office in Fareham, and is led by two directors, Alastair Fletcher (Design Director) and Rob Armstrong (Creative Director). The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company. Its competitive position rests on the directors' cross-disciplinary design backgrounds and on its roster of co-development relationships across the superyacht build chain.
