In the world of luxury yacht builders, there are only a few names that stand out for their commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and exquisite design. Among these names, Paragon Motor Yachts holds a special place, crafting custom yachts that are paragons of beauty and seaworthiness. Let’s delve into the fascinating story behind this esteemed yacht builder and explore what sets them apart from the rest.
The genesis of Paragon Motor Yachts can be traced back to the dreams of Scott Robinson, a seasoned yacht captain with over 25 years of experience in the industry. Having overseen the construction of numerous high-end yachts during his career, Robinson understood the nuances of yacht design and the importance of collaboration between designers and owners.
With a vision to create bespoke yachts that reflect the desires of their individual owners, Robinson assembled a team of skilled naval architects, engineers, and designers. Establishing their office in California, they sought a reputable shipyard to bring their dreams to life. They found their ideal partner in a well-established yacht manufacturer in Southern Taiwan.
In 2001, Paragon Motor Yachts took a significant step forward by building their state-of-the-art, ISO 9001-Certified facility in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. This move allowed them to have full control over the construction process and ensure the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. At the heart of their boatyard lies a meticulous team that dedicates itself to every aspect of yacht building. From the initial design phase to the final touches, each project receives undivided attention and care, resulting in yachts that are truly works of art.
The path to perfection is not always smooth, and Paragon Motor Yachts took its time to deliver its first masterpiece. Nearly 7 years of hard work, dedication, and passion culminated in the launch of the Paragon 92 model – a hull design that set the standard for all future Paragon projects. Its flawless design, unmatched performance, and unrivaled luxury cemented Paragon’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the yacht-building industry. 3 Paragon 92’s were built starting in 2006, and of these 3, ENDLESS SUMMER (Built in 2007) was judged ‘Best in Show’ at the San Diego Yachtfest in 2007. Accommodations in this luxury yacht include 3 staterooms for up to 8 guests. These consist of a full beam owner’s suite, a full beam VIP stateroom and a double cabin forward.
As the years passed, Paragon Motor Yachts continued to create notable vessels that turned heads and captured hearts. Among these is the 30.48-meter KAYTOO, their first superyacht. Born out of a collaboration between a previous Paragon yacht owner and the shipyard, KAYTOO was designed to gracefully cruise the picturesque waters of the Bahamas. The yacht’s owner stateroom, thoughtfully placed aft of the wheelhouse, offers its owner/operator unparalleled views and comfort during voyages.
Another notable Paragon yacht is the 2009 94′ RHAPSODY. This yacht for sale is currently listed with Worth Avenue Yachts, and she has undergone an extensive refit. With an enclosed pilothouse, she offers the perfect blend of comfort and elegance, ensuring an unforgettable cruising experience. During her remarkable refit by the renowned Lyman Morse in 2018/19, RHAPSODY received a complete makeover. The flybridge was transformed into an enclosed pilothouse, providing a serene retreat from the elements while offering breathtaking panoramic views. The interior of RHAPSODY was lavishly adorned with all-new soft goods, and the galley was upgraded with top-of-the-line appliances and stunning granite countertops, creating a chef’s paradise. Not stopping there, RHAPSODY’s upper deck areas were repainted, restoring their pristine charm. Every piece of equipment and system has been meticulously serviced, ensuring the highest level of performance. Click below to view the full listing for this 94′ Paragon luxury yacht.
