The Central Yacht Philosophy and Team
While Central Yacht is primarily about knowledge, experience and ability we are also focussed on integrity, honesty and responsibility. Our clients are our partners, not our customers.
Established in Hong Kong in 2010 we have been quietly building our reputation in Asia with responsibility for 3 of the biggest new build yachts ever sold in Hong Kong: 65m Ambrosia III, 56m Lady Candy and 56m Genesis II as well as designing the interior of the biggest yacht ever made in Taiwan, 53m Jade959
A small team but with big real world achievement
