Shenzhou Yachts

Operating in Xiamen since around 2001, Shenzhou carries a deep Taiwanese shipbuilding lineage — build logic, product aesthetics and manufacturing habits all follow the Taiwanese-American cruising yacht tradition. Cumulative deliveries are in the region of 350 boats. Peak output was around 15 a year; recent years run at eight to ten.

The range covers 53, 58, 62, 65, 66, 70, 75, 80 and 90 ft, with 120 ft as a more bespoke proposition. Maximum build capability extends to around 130 ft. The yard can hold about ten hulls in build simultaneously.

Four characteristics define the product. It follows American long-range cruising logic — the boat as a second home rather than a day-trip platform. It prioritises classic and durable over fashionable, explicitly to protect resale value. It emphasises real usable volume, headroom and engine room space over headline length. And it combines that with genuine performance: larger models reach around 30 knots flat out, cruise at 25–26, and at 8–9 knots achieve roughly 1,200 nautical miles of range.

The United States is unambiguously the core market, supported by the yard's own base, dock and service capability there rather than a single agent. Europe contributes scattered volume across Spain, Italy, Greece, the UK and Germany.
