In response to significant interest in the GCX40 explorer yacht, designed by Misha Merzliakov Yacht Design (MMYD), a new joint venture brings together leading figures in the industry.

Joining MMYD is Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard (GCCM), Marine Engineering Consultants (MEC), Periscope Naval Architects and Evolution Motor Yachts, which will be the trading name for the group.

Under the leadership of Kevin Altera, founder of Evolution Yachts, the group combines decades of yacht designing and building expertise, particularly in aluminium superyacht construction, to design and deliver this 40-metre superyacht on the Gold Coast, Australia.

“The partners in this joint venture have been selected as they represent key and market-leading marine services.  It puts into motion the intent and capability to build world-class superyachts on the east coast of Australia,” said Kevin Altera.
