Sailing’s future isn’t just faster — it’s broader.

The UK’s stature in global superyacht construction is evolving. Leading the way is Pendennis, the British yard known for its refit strategy, incessant workforce investment, and international growth. Anchored by Toby Allies, the Group’s Managing Director, Pendennis is shifting gears despite a softer new-build yacht output, firmly instituting its place as a refit centre of excellence. Allies accentuates the UK’s enduring prowess in service, design, and OEM supply, with Pendennis ‘‘punching well above our weight.’’

Meriting its status through investment in people and facilities, Pendennis aims at strengthening its position in the long-term by responding to the increasing number of yachts requiring refits. It continues to churn out custom new-build projects as well, with notable recent additions including the 34.9-metre Fox (2024) and 39.4-metre Halekai (2020).
