Musca Marine Design is a New Zealand–based naval architecture and hydrodynamic R&D studio dedicated to advancing high-performance vessel technology.

​

Founded by Giuseppe Musca, the studio specializes in advanced hull form development and hydrofoil design and engineering, with a particular focus on foil-assisted and fully foiling vessels

 

Our work is driven by rigorous research, advanced hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analysis, high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and CAD modeling, enabling precise optimization of vessel resistance, propulsive efficiency, wake field characteristics, cavitation and ventilation control, and dynamic stability throughout displacement, semi-displacement, foil assisted and fully foiling regimes.

​

Through iterative simulation, performance validation, and engineering refinement, we develop optimized hull geometries including monohulls, catamarans, and innovative multi-hull configurations, along with advanced custom foil systems, drivetrains, and appendages that minimize drag, improve lift-to-drag ratios, enhance seakeeping performance, and extend operational range, while ensuring structural integrity and real-world practicality.

​

From next-generation concept development to performance retrofits, Musca Marine Design transforms hydrodynamic research into measurable competitive advantage, delivering vessels that are faster, more efficient, and engineered for the future.
