Pendennis Yachts

Evolution of Pendennis

Pendennis was founded in 1988 after yachtsman and entrepreneur Peter de Savary acquired a yacht manufacturer and relocated it to Falmouth Docks. Henk Wiekens and Mike Carr led a management buyout from de Savary in 1992, steering the business to the international success that it is today. The company currently employs 550 people across its three main locations – a 14 acre superyacht facility in Falmouth, a 48-berth superyacht marina and technical service centre in Vilanova, near Barcelona, and a dedicated interiors workshop in Norfolk specialising in turnkey superyacht and residential interiors as well as custom furniture pieces.

Notable Pendennis Yachts

Built in 2011, the 44.2-metre sailing catamaran Hemisphere was designed in partnership with Van Peteghem Lauriot Prevost and Michael Leach Designs. She has accommodations for twelve guests in five ensuite staterooms. The 59-metre classic yacht Marala, built in 1931 as Evadne, was designed by Camper & Nicholsons and restored by Pendennis in 2022. It offers accommodations for 12 guests who are looked after by 19 crew.
