57m Cammenga superyacht Meserret II on the market

Once a dominant force on the global superyacht scene, American shipyards have dwindled significantly over the past decade or so. To understand how the industry is adapting, we travelled to Seattle and Vancouver – two hubs of Pacific Northwest boatbuilding with deep maritime roots.&nbsp;The US has long been a cornerstone of the global superyacht market. Yet evolving buyer behaviour, international competition, shifts in economic conditions and evolving business models, have brought major challenges. The once-favourable euro-dollar exchange rate has flipped, making European yards more attractive to American buyers. Domestic builders like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/106" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Trinity Yachts (Company)">Trinity</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/149" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christensen Shipyards, LLC. (Company)">Christensen</a> have closed their doors, while others have seen production slow dramatically. This reflects a broader shift in how North American shipyards are approaching production, design and market strategy – especially in light of growing competition from countries like Turkey and Taiwan.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359371/image/large-0b776d92c59afa39dd2b3f6c4c5ee092.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359371">Recalibrating at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/217" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Westport Yachts (Company)">Westport</a>A telling example is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/217" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Westport Yachts (Company)">Westport Yachts</a> on Washington’s Pacific coast. At its peak, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/217" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Westport Yachts (Company)">Westport</a> delivered up to a dozen composite yachts annually, including more than 75 of its best-selling 112-foot series over two decades. The yard’s success was underpinned by its speculative production strategy, which allowed clients to take delivery within six to twelve months. This helped the shipyard maintain a steady flow of production and consistent revenue while keeping the workforce busy. In 2003, it opened a purpose-built yard in Port Angeles to build larger yachts and launched a dozen hulls in its flagship 50-metre series. But in 2014, a change in ownership saw a shift to a build-to-order model. Production slowed substantially, and with it, the yard’s competitive edge.&nbsp;“Looking ahead, I’m cautiously optimistic,” says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/217" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Westport Yachts (Company)">Westport</a> President Daryl Wakefield. “We’ve returned to building on spec and currently have two yachts in our 41-metre series under construction – one of them speculative – the first since our strategic pivot. If successful, this could mark the beginning of a turnaround. But with fewer yachts in build, maintaining our workforce and infrastructure is a real balancing act.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/4207/image/large-d7c841a1a71fd42ffa09f5c253428ec6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/4207">Delta on the moveDown the road in Seattle, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta Marine</a> is equally adept at building in composite or steel and aluminium, evidenced over the years by yachts like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3862" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steadfast46.03m (151'0&quot;)Delta Marine1999">Affinity</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4814" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonstone79.2m (259'10&quot;)Delta Marine2016">Albatross</a>,&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1688" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starship56.39m (185'0&quot;)Delta Marine2001">Gallant Lady</a>,&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3973" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Invictus65.5m (214'11&quot;)Delta Marine2013">Invictus</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4887" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Endless Summer50.0m (164'1&quot;)Delta Marine2017">Endless Summer</a>.

Both yachts will be delivered as American-flagged vessels with Cayman Islands certification, allowing them to operate in US waters under the Jones Act, which typically restricts foreign-flagged commercial yachts from visiting consecutive American ports. The move enables these yachts to charter on the West Coast of the US, an area currently underserved by yacht charters. Jones also hinted at a new collaboration with a well-known Italian designer.“We’ve always marketed our yachts globally, but the core of our business will always be American,” she says. “That said, collaborating with high-profile designers will help <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta</a> appeal to a broader audience, particularly in Europe, where the design factor is extremely important.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/840" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nordlund Boat Company.

The long-range cruiser launched in 2019 for a repeat client boasts a vacuum-operated elevator connecting all three deck levels – a highly unusual feature for the size of yacht.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/840" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nordlund Boat Company. Inc. (Company)">Nordlund</a> is currently in the process of reinventing itself again, this time as a specialist refit yard. This dovetails neatly with the growing trend among owners to refurbish their existing yachts rather than build new. In fact, despite the downturn in new construction, the refit market in the US has continued at full blast with 435 refit shipyard visits noted in 2024, up almost 10% from around 400 refits a year registered during 2020 and 2021. According to The State of Yachting 2025, the US tops the list of refit countries across the size range.“Refits require the same precision and skill as new builds,” says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/840" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nordlund Boat Company.

Inc.2018">Cazador</a> reflects how large yachts are designed, built and used in the Pacific Northwest. Purpose-driven, often with fishing in mind, their design favours practical features over extravagant luxury. Usually built in composite for rugged adventure and long voyages (American owners have fewer qualms than their European counterparts about tackling rough seas and long crossings in fibreglass boats), the focus is on efficiency, comfort and ease of maintenance. Cooler temperatures and frequent rain also mean more protected interior spaces. While in Florida it's all about staying cool while enjoying the sunshine, in this corner of the continent yachts are more likely to have diesel heaters than AC to keep the damp out and make the shoulder seasons more tolerable when the mercury drops.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/304085/image/large-74643bb234d4146757d8587b2c60d8fa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/304085">Rethinking the marketCanadian naval architect Gregory C.

He sees deeper cultural shifts affecting the sector and points to the reluctance among some North American clients to flaunt their wealth, which can discourage investment in high-profile new builds. Tax and financial concerns also prompt many to commission yachts overseas.“Builders need to rethink how they engage with the market,” Marshall explains. “There’s strong demand for quicker, more cost-efficient builds that don’t sacrifice quality. At the same time, today’s yachts have become overly complex, driving up costs without proportional value.”Designer Ivan Erdevicki of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ER Yacht Design (Company)">ER Yacht Design</a> echoes these concerns. Among various projects under way at home and abroad, he has a 65-metre explorer in-build at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/14" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RMK Marine (Company)">RMK</a> in Istanbul that is just one of two new-builds (the other is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6355" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="REV Ocean194.9m (639'5&quot;)Vard Group AS2027">REV Ocean</a>) to meet Polar Code Category B – Ice Class PC 6 requirements. He kept a studio in downtown Vancouver, but moved out of the city during the lull that came with Covid pandemic. He believes superyacht builders in the US have lost ground through inaction.&nbsp;“Many shipyards haven’t kept pace with innovation, choosing to stay conservative rather than exploring new design ideas or adopting advanced technologies,” he says. “This lack of investment and forward-thinking has led to a slowdown, with some yards struggling to keep up with their European counterparts. Success comes not only from technical expertise, but also from adapting to the shifting market.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/281011/image/large-6792c137998447bd2f97efcc52fc7920.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/281011">Crescent’s comebackAlthough several shipyards in the Pacific Northwest have been mothballed or closed down, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crescent Custom Yachts (Company)">Crescent Custom Yachts</a> is enjoying something of a renaissance, backed in part by a resurgent commercial shipbuilding industry driven by an increase in government contracts. At the time of our visit, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crescent Custom Yachts (Company)">Crescent</a> had four custom projects over 100 feet in build: a just-launched 36-metre yacht, two more of 45 and 42 metres – all in steel and aluminium – and a 32-metre aluminium catamaran.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crescent Custom Yachts (Company)">Crescent</a> is also expanding its operations to include a new satellite facility south of Vancouver in White Rock (actually the site where the brand started as Crescent Beach Boatbuilders in 1988) that will grow production capacity as the company transitions from GRP to metal construction.&nbsp;“We worked with composites in the past, but switching to steel and aluminum makes more sense for our clients,” says Tim Charles, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crescent Custom Yachts (Company)">Crescent’s</a> principal and grandson of the founder. “For custom, one-off builds, metal is the better option in terms of both time and cost efficiency.”The new facility will give <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crescent Custom Yachts (Company)">Crescent</a> the flexibility to decide whether to bring metal fabrication in-house or outsource portions to trusted partners. Additionally, it helps counteract current tariffs on steel and aluminium between the US and Canada, which have made it difficult for shipyards on both sides of the border to plan their materials procurement with confidence (the steel hull and aluminium superstructure for its 146-foot project, for example, were built across the border in neighbouring Washington).&nbsp;As a custom builder, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crescent Custom Yachts (Company)">Crescent</a> follows a made-to-order business model. It has also implemented an “Open-Book-At-Cost” (OBAC) billing system that charges customers transparently for time and materials, instead of working to inflexible contracts and trying to make the best deal possible with the least amount of time and money.“We view our relationships with clients as partnerships, not just contracts,” explains Charles. “We share the risks and rewards with them, which helps us stay busy and maintain a full order book. We don’t even use the word ‘change order’; we have scope revisions, and our clients are involved in those decisions along the way. When they see everything we do, it builds trust and strengthens the relationship.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/15298/image/large-a9600859d3c713b04273d8bd87c940eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/15298">Navigating the futureDespite ongoing pressures and uncertainties for the region’s superyacht builders, there are reasons for optimism and potential growth. The US remains the world’s largest market for superyacht ownership, which suggests there is a ready market in the offing if shipyards can adapt by streamlining production, embracing innovation and re-engaging with a new generation of owners.“The path forward is clear,” says Marshall. “To stay competitive, shipyards here need to balance customisation and luxury with the realities of modern production. By improving efficiency, reducing complexity and targeting a broader market, we can position ourselves as competitive players on the global stage.”This article was first published in issue 54 of the SuperYacht Times newspaper, available for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper/newspaper-issue-54?utm_source=yachtchartermarket.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=cruising-asia-s-untapped-paradise" target="_blank">download here</a>.

90m yacht project Arctic 90 by RMK Yachts 

RMK Yachts has unveiled the details and renderings of a new 90-meter superyacht project called the Arctic 90. 


90m explorer yacht concept Arctic 90 unveiled by RMK Yachts 

A qualified yacht surveyor with a degree in business management, and a member of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science &amp; Technology who serves on various professional committees, Piers Flood began his seafaring career in 1995 and spent 11 years working as a chief engineer on superyachts.&nbsp;In 2006 he transitioned to shore-based management roles. After a spell as head of new-build projects with a major brokerage firm, he joined <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/834" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Döhle Yachts (Company)">Döhle Yachts Technical Services Ltd</a> and was appointed to his current role as Technical Fleet Manager in 2019. Since coming ashore he has been involved in more than &nbsp;25 new build and refit projects.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/338861/image/large-34261a8989a6bd124bca76681ce86c8c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/338861">What are your responsibilities as Technical Fleet Manager?My job is to provide support to yacht owners, management teams and crews and assist them in ensuring the yachts operate – or are built – as efficiently as possible from a technical perspective. But the role is more wide-ranging than it might sound. As yachts have grown in size, cost and complexity, my responsibilities have also grown to match the developments in the industry. So yes, I’m involved in making sure the engines are serviced in a timely fashion or repaired if there’s a problem, but I also provide support with shipyard contracts, yacht insurance claims, technical specifications and possible disputes. Basically I assist with anything that has a technical component to it, even down to providing advice on the choice of guest mattresses!<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/93279/image/large-1c74dcd21013cd07243c4110eaafb98f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/93279">Our mantra is that we aim to maximise the yacht's availability, minimise the technical costs, and preserve the value of the vessel. In other words, it’s about protecting the yacht as a financial asset for as long as the client decides to keep it. I spend a lot of time visiting shipyards and yachts in build, but to provide the level of technical support required for the millions of euros these projects cost, I have to think on a higher level than just spinning spanners.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/181202/image/large-1a952b04069ffdd5a611215911f8177c.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/181202">What important lessons did you learn as a chief engineer at sea that serve you in your role today on land?I learnt a number of important lessons – sometime the hard way! The first was dealing directly with owners and learning there are no excuses for failure in their minds. Results have to be perfect and on time, or at least there has to be a very plausible reason outside your control – not an excuse – why they are not.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334843/image/large-08fe6dd162632a96060e59e076cc1397.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334843">&nbsp;Additionally, working, living and sleeping onboard 24/7 also taught me that you have to work as a team. Being on board for long periods also made me appreciate the pressures crew are sometimes under, especially if it’s a busy charter yacht, and having that shared understanding or empathy with the crew has been a help when it comes to resolving issues. Finally, I learnt that a wrong technical decision can lead to major problems, and not just financially. When you’re dealing with clients’ cash and expectations, even seemingly simple technical decisions need to be very carefully considered.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210180/image/large-4bdaf2cf2f13ba16204d1ee78df3cd29.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210180">You also have a degree in business management – how does that help when working with yards and owners’ teams on new builds?As an engineer I focused purely on optimising technical solutions and equipment; my degree in business management&nbsp;forced me to take a much broader view and consider the financial, organisational, and long-term benefits that might come with certain decisions.&nbsp;This is a great help when discussing more strategic concepts, such as preserving the yacht’s asset value, considering the cost/benefit equation, and understanding the pressures that shipyards and sub-contractors are subject to. It also means I take more holistic approaches to negotiating a contact or managing a shipyard period. The end game is to ensure the client wins in the long-term – a high-level of warranty support from a financially viable refit shipyard, for example – rather than driving the hardest bargain possible for short-term gain.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/168316/image/large-4aac33b41a657125f0dbd3f0385ad79e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/168316">The new 65m project (NB126) in build at&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/14" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RMK Marine (Company)">RMK</a>&nbsp;will be the first Polar Class expedition yacht built in Turkey. What challenges does that present as the owner’s technical representative?This particular project presents two major challenges. Firstly, how do we build a very high specification&nbsp;luxury&nbsp;yacht that will operate effectively in the polar regions, even down to the -20 °C conditions required by Class? These conditions can be very tough and every part of the yacht, even the paint, has to be assessed to make it can operate effectively without failing. This takes a lot of time and research, but can be achieved. The difficult part is combining it with the second challenge: making sure the yacht can also operate equally well as a luxury vessel in much warmer climates. However, it’s a challenge I am relishing and&nbsp;certainly learning a lot as the project proceeds.What has been the proudest moment in your career?I have had a number of proud moments over the years and they have always been when a client has recognised all the hard work and effort and shown their gratitude for a successful refit or new build. One moment, however, which stands out is when I managed and re-delivered my first refit in excess of €10 million. The client, who was not known for giving compliments, sent me a letter of congratulations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/317477/image/large-fff5adc73473723e42ad2c92c8e263ae.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/317477">This article was first published in the 5th issue of How to Build It magazine,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">available for download here.</a>

When cruising at a speed of 12.5 knots, she has a range of 6,000 nautical miles, whereas a speed of 16.5 knots offers a 3,000 nautical mile range. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334045/image/large-6fbd0bcbb767cfca3323a2037ef42ca8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334045">Furthermore, ER 60 is equipped with a retractable stabilisation system for comfortable journeys and a two-level engine and machinery room arrangement. In terms of water-based activities, two eight-metre tenders are stowed in the hull garage space.“The vessel will embody a timeless and classic style with a clean and minimalistic approach, creating a ‘wolf in sheep's skin’ – unassumingly powerful yet exquisitely refined,” Erdevicki concludes. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334049/image/large-5ebcd3d12d2bbb0e735ea2406cf4cf24.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334049">In addition, the 65-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12050" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ER6565.0m (213'3&quot;)RMK Marine2026">ER 65</a> yacht from the Timeless-Classic line is under construction at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/14" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RMK Marine (Company)">RMK Marine</a> shipyard in Turkey, with a delivery date of 2026.&nbsp;Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/59788" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="65m RMK Marine flagship superyacht ER65 keel laid (2024-02-21 14:00:00 +0100)">65m RMK Marine flagship superyacht ER65 keel laid<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334042/image/large-492edf26e1986a6049f975779eade471.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334042"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334041/image/large-1eb907cc43b5b362179aecb5c698ab8e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334041"></a>
