What F/YACHTING does

F/YACHTING is a luxury yacht interior and exterior outfitter, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Thomasberg, Austria, as a wholly owned spin-off of F/LIST GmbH. The company provides bespoke outfitting for megayachts and luxury residences, covering the full yacht lifecycle through its '361-degree' service approach — engaging from pre-conception design with architects, designers, and shipyards through new-build installation, refit, refurbishment, and ongoing owner support. Its customer base comprises yacht owners and their family offices, brokers, architects, designers, and shipyards, served exclusively through a high-touch direct enterprise sales motion with no public pricing.

The technical core of F/YACHTING is the in-house F/LAB innovation laboratory, which develops proprietary materials, mechanisms, and surface technologies — including bendable wood mechanisms, movement-enabled lacquers, advanced stone processing, wax-precision metalwork, and branded material lines F/LAB Aenigma and F/LAB Linfinium. Manufacturing is distributed across ten high-end factories worldwide and regional operating subsidiaries in the United States (Davie, Florida) and the Middle East (Dubai), forming part of a broader F/LIST Group footprint of 14 locations and over 1,250 employees representing more than 30 nationalities.

F/YACHTING generates revenue primarily through one-time project-based contracts for new yacht outfitting and refits, supplemented by commercialization of F/LAB-developed materials. The parent F/LIST Group reported EUR 159 million in 2025 revenue with a 48.8% export ratio and approximately EUR 4.5 million of annual R&D investment. The company is privately held with no external investors, no public listing, and no independent funding rounds; it is led operationally by F/LIST CCO Werner Kartner and COO Andreas Aigner (both additional Managing Directors of F/YACHTING) under F/LIST CEO Katharina List-Nagl, and has been recognized with multiple International Yacht & Aviation Awards, German Innovation, Design and Brand Awards, Red Dot Design Award, and Robb Report Best of the Best 2025.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• CRN (Ferretti Group): Italian builder of fully custom steel and aluminum superyachts 50-90m+, part of the Ferretti Group. Comparable on the fully custom full-displacement superyacht segment with strong interior programs serving the same ultra-HNW owner profile.
• Feadship: Premier Dutch custom superyacht builder jointly owned by two shipbuilding families. Comparable in craftsmanship-led bespoke positioning and deep owner relationships; an established shipyard competitor with full in-house outfitting.
• Lürssen: German superyacht builder building some of the world's largest custom yachts (often 100m+) with substantial in-house outfitting divisions. Represents the largest-scale comparable operator; if Lürssen internalizes further, it directly reduces F/YACHTING's addressable shipyard pipeline.
• Benetti: Italian superyacht builder (part of Azimut-Benetti Group) producing both semi-custom and fully custom motor yachts across multiple size classes. Comparable in broad yacht market presence and outfitted interior delivery, though at higher volume than F/YACHTING's pure one-off focus.
• Oceanco: Leading Dutch superyacht builder producing large custom motor yachts with increasingly sophisticated interior programs. Broader incumbent that competes partly through integrated interior delivery, making it both a customer (shipyard partner) and a competitor to F/YACHTING's outfitting scope.

Direct peers

• Royal Huisman: Dutch custom sailing and motor yacht builder producing one-off and limited-series vessels with a strong emphasis on bespoke craftsmanship and owner collaboration. Comparable on the boutique, high-touch, single-vessel build model that F/YACHTING supports on the outfitting side.
• Heesen Yachts: Dutch superyacht builder known for fully custom motor yachts in the 50-80m+ range with significant in-house interior outfitting capabilities. Most directly comparable peer: serves the same ultra-HNW owner segment with bespoke full-lifecycle build programs and prioritizes technical innovation in interior spaces.
• Turquoise Yachts: Turkish builder of custom motor yachts (50-80m+) with significant refit and rebuild capabilities at its free-trade-zone facility. Comparable both as a custom builder peer and as a direct competitor in the yacht refit/rebuild market that F/YACHTING also serves.
• Winch Design: British luxury design house specializing in yacht, aircraft, and residential interiors. Comparable as a pure-play design-to-delivery partner working with shipyards on bespoke interior scopes; competes for the design-and-specify stage that precedes outfitting execution.
• Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design: Dutch superyacht design and engineering studio providing exterior, interior, and naval architecture for large custom yachts. Comparable as a high-end interior-design partner engaged early in the yacht lifecycle with strong owner relationships - overlaps directly with F/YACHTING's co-creation model.
