Alloy YachtsYachts for Sale
The history of Alloy Yachts dates back to the early 1980s when a dedicated group of New Zealand shipbuilders embarked on an ambitious project to construct a 28m aluminum yacht. Under the leadership of Tony Hambrook, they officially established the brand as Alloy Yachts in 1985. The shipyard’s notable involvement in the America’s Cup in 1987 marked a significant milestone in its journey.
During the 1990s, Alloy Yachts achieved a remarkable feat by creating the 48-meter sloop Georgia, then the world’s largest single-mast sailing vessel. The shipyard diversified its portfolio by venturing into motor boat construction. However, as market dynamics shifted and demand for sailing yachts declined, Alloy Yachts, unfortunately, announced its decision to cease production in 2016.
Presently, Alloy Yachts has ceased operations, but it continues to provide technical support for vessels built by the shipyard through Alloy Support. The production facility was located on the North Island coast of New Zealand in the Auckland area, with a primary focus on aluminum construction.
The fleet of vessels crafted by Alloy Yachts was characterized by individualized designs. The sailing series included single and double megayachts spanning from 30 meters (Savannah) to 67 meters (Vertigo). Motor yachts produced by the shipyard reached lengths of up to 40 meters.
Alloy Yachts distinguished itself with its strong yet lightweight aluminum hull construction, coupled with uncompromisingly luxurious exterior and interior designs. Despite its closure, the legacy of Alloy Yachts endures through the vessels it crafted and the ongoing technical support provided to its clientele.
