How do you build a 100% custom masterpiece from a blank sheet of paper?

On this episode of On The Bridge, Alicia sit down with Captain Guy Booth and Interior Designer George Wolstenholme to pull back the curtain on M/Y Phi. One of the most talked-about superyachts in recent history.

As George says, “The concept had to come before the yacht”. From years of notebook sketches and conversations to a fully custom Royal Huisman build based on the mathematical philosophy of the Golden Ratio, Phi, was never meant to be ordinary. We explore how a blank sheet of paper became a 58.5m engineering masterpiece, where every single detail is considered with purpose.

We explore -
• Working without compromise to the philosophy of the Golden Ratio
• Amazing details of design from watch mechanisms to wine cellars
• How to collaborate without ego to bring a vision to life
• The realities of Phi's detention in London and the controversy that followed

This is a story about vision, craftsmanship, resilience, and the reality of building boldly.
