From carpentry to superyachts: The F/YACHTING story

This is an episode of BOAT Radio, recorded live from the BOAT Lounge at the Monaco Yacht Show. 

What happens when generations of Austrian craftsmanship meet the world of modern superyachting? We talk to Jöel Chalk, Director of Business Development at F/YACHTING, about the heritage, artistry and innovation behind the three-year-old luxury outfitting brand.

While F/YACHTING launched in 2023, its foundations stretch back 76 years, with 34 years of specialist yacht outfitting experience and more than 100 superyachts completed. Chalk shares how this deep-rooted expertise informs the company’s work with some of the world’s leading shipyards, designers and owners, while exploring its unique 360-degree approach to luxury: applying its interior expertise across superyachts, private jets and residences to offer clients one trusted partner across their lifestyle.

He also discusses how F/LAB, the F/LIST Group’s dedicated innovation hub, is pushing the boundaries of bespoke design through bio-based materials, advanced composites and emerging technologies.
