Pendennis

Pendennis Shipyard is a British custom yacht builder and refit specialist, with more than 35 years of expertise. Founded in 1988, Pendennis is particularly known for its custom sailing and motor yachts, measuring between 30 and 100 metres in length. Specialising in classic yacht restoration, new build, and refits, Pendennis currently employs more than 550 highly skilled tradespeople across its 14-acre waterfront facility.Established by entrepreneur Peter de Savary, he relocated a shipyard he had acquired to Falmouth Docks, England. Pendennis has rapidly made a name for itself over the years, thanks to its leading projects, such as its first project launched in 1991, the 125-foot ketch La Cattiva (ex. Taramber) and the restoration of the 228-foot schooner Adix, both of which received awards in 1991 from ShowBoats magazine. In 1993, Mike Carr and Henk Wiekens, together with David Bentley and Peter Wood, led a management buyout, steering the company towards international recognition.
