Guido de Groot Design

Renowned Dutch yacht designer, specializing in the design of innovative interiors and exteriors for both luxury motor and sailing super yachts.

Guido de Groot Design was launched in 1997 and is based in Leiden, the oldest university town in Holland. The award-winning studio employs eight designers of varying nationalities and specializes in innovative interiors and exteriors for both luxury motor and sailing yachts. Through the years, the Guido de Groot's design office has evolved to the point that it works with some of the most prestigio

us shipyards worldwide. Many of the projects combine interior and exterior design and include sailing yachts, fast motor cruisers and more sedate displacement yachts. The Guido de Groot philosophy is to create high-quality designs, both interior and exterior, that should be appreciated for their purity and harmony. This philosophy can be seen in the stunning yachts that glide out from the studio. www.guidodegroot.com

The Selene 78 Ocean Expedition is the latest addition to the family of modern "go-anywhere" yachts we have developed together with the shipyard. With her sturdier, more angular profile, she stands apart from the Selene Ocean Explorer series, which we also designed.

The new Ocean Expedition series highlights the shipyard's commitment to broadening its portfolio and reaching new markets, further strengthened by the recent expansion of its production facilities.

For the Stratos Dutch Build 75, Guido de Groot Design developed a dynamic interior that seamlessly combines space, light, and refinement, creating an environment that feels both powerful and inviting.

Abundant natural light floods the interior, while uninterrupted ocean views maintain a constant connection with the sea, whether seated or standing. Every element has been carefully designed to interact with its surroundings, enhancing the sense of freedom and openness on board.

Here are some additional images we created for our proposal of a Lancia Thesis Coupé, commissioned by one of our clients and a passionate Lancia enthusiast. The project explored a simple question:

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘱é 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵𝘴 2002–2008 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘥𝘢𝘯, 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘭𝘶𝘹𝘶𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘳-𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵?

Based on the 3.2 V6 24V sedan, we gave the car a sportier front end with a wider grille, subtly raked the windscreen, and drew inspiration from the iconic Lancia Aurelia for the rear section. The rear window design itself takes cues from Lancia’s signature grille, creating a distinctive visual connection to the brand’s rich heritage.

Although the project never progressed beyond a 3D computer model and a series of 3D-printed scale models, it remains an exciting design study. We would love to see this unique creation brought to life one day and cruising the roads in the hands of a true Lancia enthusiast.

What if Lancia had built a coupé version of its 2002–2008 Thesis sedan, as it had done with many of its luxury four-door models in the past? One of our clients, a passionate Lancia enthusiast, posed exactly that question and asked us to design a one-off Lancia Thesis Coupé.

Based on the 3.2 V6 24V sedan, we gave the car a sportier front end with a wider grille, subtly raked the windscreen, and drew inspiration from the iconic Lancia Aurelia for the rear section. The rear window design itself takes cues from Lancia’s signature grille, creating a distinctive visual link to the brand’s heritage.

Every Mulder Favorite model we have designed is unique, and the Favorite 2200 Flybridge “MY Aurora” is no exception. Among her distinctive features is a unique metallic Aurora Gold and White colour scheme.

Born from the golden era of the Motor Torpedo Boat, the Breedendam MTB stands apart as a vessel where wartime elegance meets modern seamanship.

Stretching to 19.60 metres, the MTB Sixzero Flybridge carries unmistakable retro lines, reimagined by Guido de Groot Design with a fresh and contemporary touch, both inside and out. She is scheduled for delivery to her owner in Australia next month.
