About Maxsurf

The Maxsurf suite of naval architecture software has been designed to help naval architects design and optimise all kinds of hull forms. Whether your interest is monohull or multihull; commercial or naval; steel, aluminium or GRP; the Maxsurf suite has the tools you need.

Maxsurf has been well proven in the design of thousands of vessels over the past 20 years. Container vessels by IHI Japan, fast ferries by Austal Ships in Australia, workboats by Swiftships in the US, and Americas' Cup yachts by winning syndicates, are all examples of how Maxsurf can be used to best effect.
