The husband and wife team of Silvia Himsolt and Sergio Cutolo are the co-founders and backbone of Hydro Tec. Ing. Sergio Cutolo is the studio’ soul and mind and founded the company in 1995 after a vibrant career with some of the world’ leading shipyards. Today, Hydro Tec is one of the only companies in the world to provide an holistic design package. This diverse approach offers great advantages for private clients and shipyards. This working philosophy comes from Ing. Cutolo’ personal experiences and can be summarised as “ naval architecture”. At this yacht design, naval architecture and engineering company creativity is considered to be the core skill. Using our awarded holistic and creative approach, the designers and engineers go above and beyond the clients’ wishes by interpreting the use, taste and style of their dream yacht. These designers and engineers interact continuously throughout the course of the project, to ensure form and function is being considered in every detail. This design ethos ensures an eye-catching, seaworthy yacht with beauty and functionality.

“ dictates the rules and inspires forms we use to realise our projects. The trust of our customers rewards 25 years of experience, creativity and innovation.”
