Pendennis Yachts

UK-based construction and refit specialists, Pendennis ranks amongst the world’s most respected superyacht shipyards. With a history spanning more than 35 years, and having completed 30 custom yacht builds and more than 300 major refit projects, the shipyard operates across the full spectrum of industry sectors including the construction of fully custom yachts up to 60 metres LOA and the refit, rebuild and restoration of yachts up to 85 metres LOA.

Evolution of Pendennis

Pendennis was founded in 1988 after yachtsman and entrepreneur Peter de Savary acquired a yacht manufacturer and relocated it to Falmouth Docks. Henk Wiekens and Mike Carr led a management buyout from de Savary in 1992, steering the business to the international success that it is today. The company currently employs 550 people across its three main locations – a 14 acre superyacht facility in Falmouth, a 48-berth superyacht marina and technical service centre in Vilanova, near Barcelona, and a dedicated interiors workshop in Norfolk specialising in turnkey superyacht and residential interiors as well as custom furniture pieces.

Notable Pendennis Yachts

Built in 2011, the 44.2-metre sailing catamaran Hemisphere was designed in partnership with Van Peteghem Lauriot Prevost and Michael Leach Designs. She has accommodations for twelve guests in five ensuite staterooms. The 59-metre classic yacht Marala, built in 1931 as Evadne, was designed by Camper & Nicholsons and restored by Pendennis in 2022. It offers accommodations for 12 guests who are looked after by 19 crew.
