F/LIST announces the founding of F/YACHTING at the “F/LAB Grand Opening”. The founding marks a milestone for the company and the entire yacht industry.
Thomasberg (OTS) – The unveiling took place in front of an exclusive audience of around 100 customers and partners in the in-house futurelab, called F/LAB. “The establishment of F/YACHTING is a significant step for F/LIST and underlines our continuous innovation and commitment to first-class quality”, says Katharina List-Nagl, CEO of F/LIST.

With F/YACHTING, the goal is not only to redefine the interior of large yachts through the use of groundbreaking new materials and manufacturing methods, but also to support owners and crew with a 361-degree service for life.
Andreas Aigner: “Through innovative solutions in furniture construction, we create unique living spaces on the water for customers. Our new approach, our 361-degree service, comes from this spirit of innovation. We dissolve the boundaries of yacht design and rely on a holistic approach in which we are partners on an equal footing right from the start: for our customers in the owner’s team, for designers in the planning, for developers in the implementation , for crews in daily management.”
F/YACHTING offers customers innovative solutions to reconcile the issues of sustainability and the desire for constant change in the yacht segment. The cradle of the innovative strength of F/LIST and now also F/YACHTING is the F/LAB. Here, companies develop new materials, technologies and mechanisms, always with the aim of making dreams come true in terms of equipment and overcoming boundaries.
