About AMB Design Consulting Group
AMB Design Consulting Group is a full-service naval architecture and design firm specializing in luxury superyachts, production boats, and commercial vessels. Founded and led by Arthur M. Barbeito, Lead Naval Architect and Designer, the firm brings decades of international experience to every project—guided by a client-first philosophy from initial brief through final delivery.
Every commission begins with the client's vision. From there, we partner with owners, shipyards, and stakeholders to transform ambitious ideas into seaworthy reality—balancing performance, aesthetics, and efficiency without compromise.
Working within a state-of-the-art parametric 3D environment, AMB integrates structure, systems, outfitting, and interiors into a single cohesive design—ensuring precision and buildability long before construction begins. We remain engaged through every stage, from feasibility and concept through class approval, detail design, and construction oversight.
Headquartered in Miami, Florida, AMB serves a discerning international clientele—guided by a single principle: form follows function, and great design honors both.
Services Overview
AMB offers design and consulting services for new vessel construction, refits, and modifications.
New Design
Full-service design from concept to construction documentation for new builds.
Refits & Modifications
Modification and enhancement services for existing yachts and ships.
Consulting
Guidance on feasibility, compliance, classification, and technical oversight.
Project Feasibility Studies
We assess early concepts, client requirements, and project constraints to guide design decisions and identify the best path forward. This helps define scope before major resources are committed.
New vessel design assessments
Structural, systems, outfitting, and arrangement changes
Repowering and performance upgrades
Regulatory and classification compliance
Early feasibility work helps reveal risks and opportunities before design time is spent.
Concept Design
The concept phase defines the vessel's major design features and overall direction.
01
Profile Drawings
Profile and inboard drawings establish the vessel's silhouette and layout.
02
General Arrangements
Deck plans define spaces, flow, and functionality.
03
Artistic Renderings
Renderings communicate the design vision and aesthetic direction.
Shipyard Bid Package
The bid package provides enough detail for shipyards to estimate project cost accurately.
General Arrangement Drawings
Hull Lines, Hydrostatics & Stability
Preliminary Weight Study
Propulsion, Steering & Stabilizers
Mechanical Arrangement
Tank Arrangement
Scantling Calculations & Midship Section
Specifications & Equipment List
Regulatory, Class Approval & Detail Design
Regulatory & Class Approval Package
Drawings and reports prepared to demonstrate compliance and secure approval from regulators and classification societies.
Detail Design Package
Construction-ready drawings, calculations, and reports tailored to the shipyard's capabilities and build jurisdiction.
AMB tailors each package to the shipyard's needs and level of in-house support.
Production Design
Production design unifies all disciplines into one full-scale parametric 3D model.
The Digital Twin Advantage
Structural, mechanical, outfitting, and HVAC systems come together in one digital twin for the vessel.
Precise drawing generation
Interference detection
Streamlined construction planning
Reduced fabrication errors
Systems, Structure & Analysis
AMB uses advanced CAD and computational tools to deliver precision throughout vessel design.
Full 3D Parametric Modeling
A single digital model integrates every system before fabrication.
FEA Analysis
Finite element analysis confirms hull integrity under real loading.
CFD Hydrodynamics
Computational fluid dynamics refines hull form for performance and seakeeping.
Advanced Design Visualization
From propulsion systems and engine room arrangements to full hull structural cutaways—AMB's parametric 3D environment captures every detail of the vessel before construction begins.
Finite Element & CFD Performance Assessment
Structural (FEA)
AMB uses finite element analysis to verify vessel strength and stiffness. Stress, deformation, and load cases are checked digitally before construction.
Hydrodynamics (CFD)
Computational fluid dynamics helps optimize hull form for resistance and efficiency. Tank testing is used to confirm the simulation results.
Refit & Modification Services
AMB manages refit projects from initial planning through final delivery.
Hull & Structural Modifications
Hull modifications, structural modifications, and vessel lengthening.
Propulsion & Mechanical
Propulsion modifications, repowering, and mechanical system additions.
Superstructure & Deck
Superstructure redesign, outfitting integration, and deck equipment additions.
Stabilizers & Control Surfaces
Stabilizer and control surface modifications and enhancements.
Portfolio
Yacht Projects
