New Yacht Design And Build Made Easy With The Seattle Yachts Team

When Seattle Northwest Yachts LLC made the decision to build two lines of new yachts, managing partner Peter Whiting knew he needed a design and build team that was more than just highly talented. He knew he needed a team that also had an unmatched depth of real-world background — not only in yacht construction but in both sail and power yachting as well. For all the grand plans in the world inevitably amount to little without the practical experience needed to turn those plans into reality.

The Seattle Northwest Yachts design and build team brings together nearly two centuries of combined yacht design and construction experience. Just as importantly, every member of the Seattle Yachts design and build team has been involved with boating since a young age and displays a driving love for yachts and yachting. Which makes all the difference in the world.

Here are some of the highlights of the Northwest Yachts and Alaskan Yachts Design & Build Team:

Stephen R. Seaton

Stephen R. Seaton, Seattle Yachts’ principal designer, has been actively designing sailboats and motor yachts for more than 50 years, with some 560 different designs amassed to his credit. Seaton was instrumental in the design of the first yachts built by now world-renown Delta Marine of Seattle — perhaps the most well-known of which are the 70-footer Zopilote and the 110-footer Onika.

Onika was named Best in Class in a Showboats International magazine competition the year she was launched. And the next year, Seaton won the same award for a 105-foot trawler yacht to his design. On the boatbuilding side, Seaton was one of three key players in the original formation of Northern Marine in Anacortes, WA, where he functioned as Chief Designer and where the 62-foot Spirit of Zopilote was built under his watchful eye. The practical understanding that grows out of Steve’s experience in owning and running a shipyard distinguishes him among yacht designers and is, in part, what makes him a vital part of the Seattle Northwest Yachts program.

Peter Whiting

Peter Whiting , managing partner of Seattle Northwest Yachts LLC, is the developer and co-designer of the Northwest line with models from 45 to 75 feet LOA, including the firm’s flagship Northwest 63 currently under construction.

Peter is a lifelong boater, having learned to sail in Northern California at the age 11. Over the years, he has boated extensively in various areas of North America, from New England to the waters of the Pacific Northwest and in between. With his extensive sailing and cruising experience, Peter brings a knowledgeable and seasoned viewpoint to the table.

In 1998, he purchased Northwest Yachts and subsequently developed and built a series of Northwest trawlers and expedition-styled motor yachts. Then, in early 2016, he amalgamated Northwest Yachts and Seattle Yachts into a single yacht dealership and brokerage under the trade-name Seattle Yachts. When the opportunity arose, in late 2017, to acquire the trademark rights and intellectual property of Alaskan Yachts, Peter did so with the intent to re-develop and reintroduce to the market the history-rich and value-laden Alaskan trawler-yacht line.

Phil Friedman

Phil Friedman serves as Seattle Yachts’ New-Build Manager, making sure that the team’s designs and plans get translated accurately and effectively into real-world product.

Phil has a long and broad-ranging history in the marine industry, as a yacht builder, boat and shipyard manager, small-craft surveyor, and yachting writer and editor. He was for several years the president and CEO of world-class mega-yacht builder, Palmer Johnson Yachts, during which time the company, under his supervision, developed, built, and refitted nearly two dozen luxury mega-yachts in the 30- to 60-meter range.

Over the course of a multi-year tenure as Senior Editor of Power & Motoryacht magazine, Phil tested and evaluated hundreds of yachts worldwide. He has published more than 1,200 articles on yacht design, construction, repair and maintenance. And his recently published eBook, Ten Golden Rules for Successful New Build Projects, has received wide acclaim from industry professionals. Phil’s more recent work includes managing the construction of an 80-foot cruising motor yacht in Taiwan; supervising the ship-fitting for a 45-meter composite military patrol vessel; the project management of prototype construction for a new line of 65-foot high-performance catamaran motor yachts; and the design and supervision of the fabrication and installation of ultralight interior joinery and furniture for a number of high-performance Hovercraft military patrol vessels.

Phil is veteran sailor with seven years liveaboard cruising experience and some 40 years of sailing on the Great Lakes, as well as on the waters of Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. More information on Phil’s long and varied career can be found by running a Google search on “phil friedman yacht”. Also check out the Guide to Owning and Buying a Trawler Yacht for sale .

Bill Macnab

Bill Macnab is the Production Manager for the shipyard with whom Seattle Yachts is strategically partnered for the tooling and construction of the Northwest and Alaskan yacht lines. Bill has been a professional boat builder nearly all his life. He built his first sailing dingy in 1965 when he was only 6 years old, with some help from his dad, using FRP to seal the dagger pockets.

He later found work in a local boatyard, Cooper yachts — which eventually became Cooper-Queenship — where worked for Forbes Cooper for 14 years. Eventually, Bill bought the tooling for a line of pilothouse sailing yachts from Forbes and started his own Company, North West Yachts (not to be confused with Northwest Yachts).

Following a stint in cabinetmaking, Bill completed a formal boatbuilding apprenticeship at the Cooper yard, then accepted a management position with West Bay Yachts in the production of their 105 line, where from 1997 to 2007, he built more than a hundred West Bays, mostly in the 100-foot plus range.

As yacht building began to expand in China, Bill took on the job of helping to construct a new facility in Zhuhai, where the newly-formed Tricon Marine was getting ready to build its first 92' explorer yacht. More recently, he moved to a shipyard in the Fuzhou area in Fujian province, not far from areas where several major North American yacht brands are currently being produced.

Paul Thunberg

Paul Thunberg grew up in a small landlocked town in Northern California. He discovered sailing after building a 12-foot plywood sailboat from plans found in a popular Mechanics Magazine. Paul later worked as a welder/fabricator at several shops building everything from houseboats to tunnel boring machines and, after moving to the San Francisco Bay area worked for Stone Boats building wood and fiberglass boats.

While living in San Francisco, Paul completed a Bruce Bingham designed Flicka hull and deck kit that was produced by Pacific Seacraft… and set sail for Hawaii, teaching himself celestial navigation on the way. After his cruising funds ran short, Paul returned to the mainland where he enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard, eventually serving 21years on active duty as a mechanic and deck watch officer on vessels ranging from 41 to 140 feet.

After retiring to the Portland Oregon area, he retired from active duty and accepted a position as a civilian employee for the Coast Guard at Marine Safety Unit Portland. Paul graduated from the Westlawn School of Yacht Design under the tutelage of well-known designer Dave Gerr and has worked as an associate-designer on several Stephen R. Seaton projects, as well as pursuing his own design work.

Jan Whiting

Jan Whiting specializes in interior design and space utilization planning for new-builds and major refits. She was the driving force behind the very popular and successfully interiors of the Northwest 45s and 52s developed and built in Anacortes in the early 2000s, as well as those of the Integrity line.

With additional experience in restaurant and resort facilities planning, design, and management, Jan exhibits keen insight into what makes for comfortable living on a longer-term basis. She grew up in Baltimore around the water and came to love boats at an early age. In those days, her father would take her sailing aboard his Krogen ketch on Chesapeake Bay. These days, living and working in the Pacific Northwest, Jan gets out on the water at every possible opportunity. Her favorite cruising grounds range from the Pacific Northwest to Alaska. And some of her most cherished memories include sailing down the Baja peninsula to La Paz and visiting several Croatian sailing spots last summer aboard an Elan.

When she’s not out on the water, Jan spends time scouring the major boat shows for new ideas and applications that might be adapted to advantage in Seattle Yachts’ Northwest and Alaskan lines. Her assistance is also available, as a value-added service, to help new-build buyers develop interiors for their Northwest or Alaskan yachts that will stand the test of time for extended living and cruising aboard. She is, moreover, a great sounding board for those preparing to make the transition from shore-based to water-borne living.

DELTA MARINE Yachts – Operating Since 1967

Delta Marine is located in Seattle, Washington, and the Pacific Northwest. The family-run shipyard build and refits custom superyachts up to 100m in length.

The shipyard achieves the highest standards in yacht building by developing relationships with customers and pursuing a mission to perform at the highest levels. 

DELTA MARINE history

Delta Marines found its start in 1967 when brothers Ivor and Jack Jones founded a shipyard on Seattle’s Duwamish River. Delta Marine’s focus was on building fishing boats capable of handling the rough seas of the Pacific Northwest.

Their success in the fishing sector led to the shipyard building luxury expedition yachts. Owners could explore all the corners of the globe, such as the Pacific Islands and Alaska. 

Delta Marine was developing custom superyachts exclusively by the 1990s. They have used the elite craftsmen from their local areas and continue developing and refining their composite yacht construction technology.

The 100m yachts that Delta Marine produces today are among the most beautiful in luxury standards worldwide.

The shipyard still continues as a family-run affair with Ivor’s daughter, Michelle, as Marketing Manager for Delta Marine, her sister Trisha in accounting. Jack Jones’ son, Chris, is in the production department. 

DELTA MARINE notable launches

Delta Marine’s prowess in the yacht building industry is apparent with their most notable and custom launches.

The MLR, launched in 2019, is one of these fantastic yachts. The 53m yacht features interior and exterior design from Jonathan Quinn Barnett.

The MARAMA was delivered to her owners in 2008, who proceeded to take her on a three-month exploration of Alaska and its coastline.

The voyage totaled 3200 miles. The long-range yacht was the best example of the shipyard’s ability to build comfortable expedition yachts for select clientele.

The 65.5m INVICTUS marked another achievement for Delta Marine as they delivered her in 2013. Delta Marine Group, the shipyard’s in-house design team, developed her exterior styling and engineering, with Diane Johnson Design crafting a luxury interior design. 

Delta Marine continues in its pursuit of developing high-end bespoke yachts for its select clientele.

Their prowess in the luxury yacht industry is cemented by their commitment to high standards of professionalism, dedication to innovation and creativity, and the ability to translate this into stunningly crafted vessels that feature high-end design concepts and state-of-the-art technology.

Delta Marine Yachts

Located in Seattle, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest, Delta Marine is a family-run shipyard that builds and refits custom superyachts up to 100 metres in length.

History of Delta Marine Yachts

Delta Marine was founded by brothers Jack and Ivor Jones on Seattle’s Duwamish River in 1967. The shipyard’s initial focus was on building fishing boats capable of handling the frequently rough waters of the Pacific Northwest. Delta Marine’s success in the fishing sector led the shipyard to build luxury expedition yachts that could take their owners north to Alaska, west to the Pacific islands, and around the world. By the 1990s, Delta Marine began exclusively building custom superyachts.

Through the years, Delta Marine have drawn on the craftsmanship of their local pool of talented artisans and have continued to develop and refine their composite yacht-construction technology. As a result, the shipyard has launched some of the world’s largest luxury superyachts.

Notable Delta Marine Yachts

In 2008, Delta Marine delivered the 37.6-metre superyacht Marama to owners who took her on a three-month, 3,200-mile voyage of exploration to Alaska and along its coastline. This long-range luxury yacht once again proved the shipyard’s ability to build comfortable expedition motor yachts.

The 64.53-metre superyacht Invictus launched in 2013 featuring a steel hull and composite superstructure. The shipyard’s Delta Design Group provided her exterior styling and engineering, while Diane Johnson Design created her elegant interior design.

WHAT SELENE OWNERS SAY…

We wanted a compact yacht because we will load her on a cargo ship to explore new playing grounds like the Pacific Northwest or Northern European seas… It’s easily doable with a 42′ boat, and at a reasonable price. We want to see our new boat like a life enhancer and not as a financial or technical burden. This is why sizing the project, refining the specifications and a sound cooperation with the shipyard is essential, and Selene’s teams were ready to help from day one. We have found our perfect yacht…

I spent ten years as a full time vessel master and live-aboard owner. After obtaining my United States Coast Guard Master’s license, I spent countless hours cruising the waters of the San Juan Islands and the Canadian Gulf Islands.

Our constant, and the place we call “home” is M.V. Ellipsis, a Selene 60 Ocean Yacht delivered in 2007. We boat now without boundaries and enjoy navigating the rugged open waters off the west coast as much as we do the Inside Passage.

Summer and fall 2018, we will explore the Columbia and Snake Rivers, getting some experience with the locks on the river. 2019 should find us heading south in the Pacific, spending time cruising Mexico.

Even though my Selene 38 is the smallest in the range we’ve covered more than 20,000 miles in SE Asia; starting in Hong Kong, down to Vietnam and Borneo, then across to Thailand, later south to Malaysia and Singapore.

Everywhere I looked I was impressed with the quality. These are not production boats, but customized, handcrafted, solid vessels. Thank you for building us a beautiful and well founded boat! We look forward to many years of cruising in safety and comfort!

We want everyone in the yard to know just how happy we are with this wonderful boat you have made for us. Please convey our pleasure to everyone involved.

Our Selene « Adagio » has actually exceeded our expectations. Exceptional safety underway, comfortable for extended periods of live-aboard time, and excellence of workmanship are some of the reasons for our high level of satisfaction.

I went out on « Argo » today. The boat looks and performs fantastic. Convey my thanks to all the key people at the yard. The galley looks absolutely amazing. The new sound insulation you have done is really working with minimal vibrations!

We had a wonderful time in the San Juan Islands and Princess Louisa in British Columbia. The boat was perfect! We were in 25 knot winds with beam seas, some of which were well over 8 feet. « Mystic Moon » handled it perfectly!

Testimonials

“Always pleased with John’s work. He is skilled, attends to detail, and shows integrity with everything he does.” ~Dana P.

“John did an excellent job building a custom engine box for my sailboat.   I couldn’t really visualize what would look the best so asked him to design and build it.  He was very responsive and kept me up to date with ideas and build a mock-up to make sure I was happy with his plans.  I out of town and he built it, painted it and I am pretty sure the boat was cleaner than I left it. The work was top-notch and just a good experience.  I would highly recommend having John and Bishop Boatworks to anyone needing woodwork. In addition, estimate was right on.” ~ Stephen J.

“If you like working with someone who is skilled and reliable, John is the right choice. ” ~Mary F.

Thanks so much for your email on the coaming.  I completely understand your perspective and thank you for your assessment.

I also want to let you know about how happy I am with the work you did on my pilothouse cabin sole.  It is exactly what I wanted. The four coats of polyurethane work so well.

You did a great job in communicating with me.  I felt confident in your work when you informed me of every step through email and photos.  Your preparation work was outstanding and left almost no wood dust in any area of the boat taking particular care to protect the electronics. 

I know that you had to spend more time preparing the floor (sanding) and while I said I would be open to renegotiating the estimate, your response that you will stick to your estimate was unexpected and reassuring.

To sum, I am grateful for professional work, the thoughtful communications with me, and the fact that you brought the job in within the estimate you originally presented to me.

“John is an excellent listener in understanding our vision and a great communicator throughout the project. The work area was well organized and meticulous cleaned at the end of the day. ” ~Bruce and Diane

100 Years of Innovation

Memories are many for four generations of the Wooldridge family. It has been 100 years since the establishment of "Wooldridge Boats." It was 1915 when "Grandpa" Wooldridge (1896-1986) built his first river boat to make that first-ever float down Oregon's Rogue River.

From the original pioneers of jet boating comes an explosive and compact concept we are calling the “Scout”! Bring your sun glasses!
