You’d expect an automotive designer to design cars – not superyachts. But one young Citroën designer in the late 1980s had his mind out at sea, far from the asphalt, sketching yacht designs in his free time, and with more than 50 yachts, 24-metres and larger to his name, we’re all grateful for it.&nbsp;“My entry into yachting was actually a coincidence,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot</a> reflected. “I was on vacation and happened to befriend Bieb de Vries of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>, I must have only been 20 years old at the time. I didn’t know anything about superyachts but we got talking and he invited me to visit his shipyard.

Citroën was about to lose one of its budding designers.&nbsp;“I was still following my career as a designer but each time I sketched a good yacht design after hours, I would share them with Bieb. He started giving me small assignments, illustration works for some of his boats. I had been at Citroën for around six years by that time.”&nbsp;But the real challenge was in the mid-90s when de Groot received a call from Bieb asking for ‘fresh ideas’ and a full yacht design. The result was the 48.2-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/252" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tasia48.2m (158'2&quot;)Feadship1997">Tasia</a> (originally called Katrion), built on speculation and delivered in 1996. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/252" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tasia48.2m (158'2&quot;)Feadship1997">Tasia</a> was pivotal. “Soon after her launch, I formally resigned from Citroën and started travelling to shipyards and boat shows looking for clients as a yacht designer.”&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/293" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mulder Shipyard (Company)">Mulder Shipyard</a> was to be de Groot’s first official client, soon followed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere Navali Leopard (Company)">Cantiere Navale Arno Shipyard</a>, a member of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1486" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rodriguez Group (Company)">Rodriguez Group</a> which produces <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/362" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leopard Yachts (Company)">Leopard Yachts</a>.

But that initial sketch remained the same.“She was the first sportfisher yacht that we designed and the challenge was thrilling; we had to learn everything about this style of yacht, yet we still had to deliver a Vanquish.

The explorer yacht features an asymmetrical semi-full-beam skylounge and a sidewalk from the bridge to aft deck to avoid crew going through the lounge. While Project Samba is characterised by her large aft deck, which includes a relaxation area with a large aft-facing sofa and a formal alfresco dining table.

We’re also seeing a lot more clients who are willing to think outside of the box. Shaping what’s possible is the role of the designer; it’s our job to drive change with our conceptual designs and challenge conservatism.”&nbsp;This article is featured in the SuperYacht Times newspaper. <a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">Subscribe now</a> to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.
