Tianyu Yachts

Founded in 2018 and based at Pingsha in Zhuhai, Tianyu builds under its own brand only and does not take OEM work.

The line comprises five products: catamarans at 56 and 66 ft, and monohulls at 60, 86 and 116 ft, the largest being a custom proposition.

The yard's emphasis is organisational rather than promotional. It stresses departmental structure and in-house control — quality inspection, procurement, finance and engineering as distinct functions — and argues that an independent system matters more than shared premises. Its own stated test of whether a Chinese yard is credible is whether it has a real engineering department: at least five chief engineers across machinery, hull, electrical and interior, operating as a system.

On certification, Tianyu is currently on the CE route and is considering RINA as the next step, stating that the team has relevant experience. This is the most concrete certification position recorded across the association's site visits to date — most yards surveyed could not state their certification scope at all.
