The Lower Mainland and Southern Vancouver Island is the focus of what, over the past 10 years has become an important luxury motoryacht building industry. In fact, most of the luxury yacht builders in Canada are located in the British Columbia.
Most companies build fibreglass reinforced plastic motoryachts.
However, some builders also work in steel, aluminum and wood and some specialize in sailboats. Industry employment is estimated at over 1100 workers. All of British Columbia's Luxury Yacht builders have been invited to profile their company on this site. Keep checking for new profiles. The latest two programs, Major Yards and New Projects, New Players explore the achievements of BC's four top yards-West Bay SonShip Yachts Ltd., Crescent Beach, Queenship and McQueen's and visit some of the newer builders such as Sovereign Yachts and Atlantis Yachts.
