New Yacht Construction Expertise with Knierim

Knierim’s Kiel facility is revered for carbon‑composite mastery, CNC‑milled tooling, and the kind of precision laminating that powers America’s Cup campaigns. Worth Avenue Yachts converts that engineering pedigree into a clear owner‑driven roadmap: we secure production slots, validate laminate schedules with Knierim’s in‑house engineers, and log each phase—mold lay‑up, vacuum infusion, fit‑out—in a secure build‑tracking portal. Our race‑boat specialists fine‑tune polar curves, weight budgets, and sail plans, while our interior team curates custom joinery that balances performance with luxury.

For clients who value time to launch, our proprietary register of “started builds” includes partially infused hulls and pre‑cut carbon decks ready for customization—shaving months off delivery while preserving full control over deck geometry, rig package, and interior décor. From contract to commissioning, Worth Avenue Yachts offers independent class surveys, flag‑state coordination, and global service support. The result is a Knierim yacht delivered on schedule, on budget, and optimized for podium finishes or fast‑cruising comfort—backed by end‑to‑end advocacy every nautical mile.
