Q&A with Sergei Dobroserdov, Founder & CEO of Monaco-based Dynamiq
ML: Dynamiq is a Monegasque superyacht builder. Tell us about the company.
SD: Dynamiq is a Monaco-based builder of superyachts with a unique functionality. As an experienced yachtbroker and designer, I started the brand in 2011, and assembled a “dream team” of world thinkers, designers and naval architects to design and fine-tune a new concept in yachting.
Dynamiq is also the first company in the superyacht industry to introduce an Online Configurator, allowing our yachts to be easily and transparently customised down to the last detail. Our yachts are built in a modern facility in Viareggio on Italy’s Tuscan coast under strict supervision and meticulous quality control.
ML: What are Dynamiq’s GTT models?
SD: Using leading-edge technology and elaborate hydrodynamic research, Dynamiq has created a family of all-aluminium yachts that combine the 20-knot-plus maximum speeds of sport cruisers with the comfort and 3,000-mile range of displacement vessels. We call this new yacht category Gran Turismo Transatlantic, or GTT for short. Each Dynamiq can be customised with a wealth of luxurious and functional options, right down to the last detail, via our pioneering Online Configurator. Each custom feature shows exact prices and delivery dates that are updated in real time.
We have redefined what customer service in yacht buying and building is all about.

ML: How have superyachts evolved and what is the “next generation for intelligent buyers”?
SD: Dynamiq is a Monaco superyacht builder meeting the needs of intelligent buyers for a next-generation yacht: top class, modern yachts that are efficient, chic, easy-to-order and effortless to customise. I believe Dynamiq offers yacht owners much more choice. Our versatile yachts are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s relaxing family cruising or vibrant deck parties. They are also fast with ocean-going range, easy to order and customise with top world brands. At Dynamiq we offer a unique lifestyle experience by bringing the comfort, quality and technology standards of 60m superyachts to the 25–50m segment.”
ML: Tell us some details about the Viareggio shipyard. Why this location?
SD: Our modern and high-tech shipyard in Viareggio, Italy, is fitted out for building the full range of Dynamiq superyachts up to 50m in length with various power-train options, including cutting-edge hybrid technology.
The Dynamiq production facility offers the highest standards of working environment and quality control. It is located just 100m from the waterfront making launching, sea trials and delivery easy, safe and cost effective.
ML: Yacht building is a competitive business. What sets Dynamiq apart from other yacht builders?
SD: When we talk about comfort and top service, the ideal for this size of yacht is six guests in three cabins served by a 1:1 ratio of six crew, for genuinely exclusive onboard service. We also designed the interior ceiling heights to more than 2.15 metres (7 feet), even in the lower deck cabins: that’s real luxury on a 35-metre yacht.
In fact, Dynamiq yachts bring the comfort and luxury of much larger superyachts to a smaller segment of the market. They are aimed at a discerning clientele that appreciates the builder’s rational approach to creating more manageable yachts.
Our target clients might include those who are looking to downsize from larger 50- or 60-metre yachts. They are already accustomed to the highest standards, but are ready to leave behind the hassle and huge costs of owning large vessels so they can enjoy the fun side of yacht ownership. The Dynamiq GTT 115 is the perfect realisation of utmost comfort and a sporty lifestyle in a practical and relatively compact package.
ML: Dynamiq sponsors team Malizia, led by Pierre Casiraghi. What is the initiative and how did it happen?
SD: Dynamiq enjoys close, long-term relations with one of the most renowned yacht clubs in the world: the Monaco Yacht Club.
Dynamiq is a proud Sporting partner of Monaco Yacht Club and sponsors the foiling GC32 Malizia team led by skipper Pierre Casiraghi, a member of the Monegasque Royal family. The main aim of our sponsorship programme is to encourage a new generation of competitive sailors under the Club’s umbrella and Monaco’s position as a centre of excellence for top-level sailing competitions. This initiative fits well with Dynamiq’s global sailing activities.
Since June 2017, Monaco Yacht Club has hosted the Dynamiq showroom, giving clients a uniquely exclusive service in the heart of Monaco’s yachting hub. Moreover, Pierre Casiraghi and Bernard d’Alessandri, Secretary General of the Yacht Club de Monaco, attended the keel laying ceremony for GTT 115 in Viareggio earlier this year.
ML: How will you be involved at the Monaco Yacht Show?
SD: The Monaco Yacht Show is the most important yacht show in the world so for our brand it’s important to be presented here to show what we really can do, the level of our quality and technologies. This year we will have the new model GTT 115 right in front of the Monaco Yacht Club and Jetsetter in the bay of Monaco.
ML: How do you see Monaco and its place in the yachting world?
SD: Monaco plays a central role in the world of superyachts for two reasons. First of all, it’s one of the most picturesque yachting destinations with lots of things to discover at sea and onshore. Second, Monaco sets the highest standards for yacht design, technologies and service on board. The Monaco Yacht Club is definitely the largest and most beautiful Yacht Club in the world and Dynamiq is proud to be it’s official partner and have their office there.
