First impressions always count. This is why superyacht owners use designers who have many years of experience creating the most beautiful exteriors on yachts. Big name designers and design companies  go all out with innovative ideas, spectacular colours and lines, providing sleek contours as well as amazing, breathtaking styles. Here’s a list of the best exterior designers of 2016 who have put their thoughts and ideas into making luxury yachts the ultimate holiday experience.

1. Espen Øino – based in Monaco, Øino has designed many large superyachts around the world. He is a top exterior designer and responsible for the 140 m Fincantieri Ocean Victory, a highly secretive creation.
