America’s 10 Best Yacht Builders
In America, the yachting industry might not be as established. Yet, today, America’s best luxury yacht builders continue to put out award-winning and state-of-the-art designs. Who are America’s best yacht builders?
From Christensen to Trinity, we countdown the best yacht builders in America and highlight what makes each shipyard unique. Here are our favorites:
1. Christensen
Christensen is one of the most established yacht builders in the U.S., and the company is known for its completely custom yachts. Each yacht the company produces is designed according to owner specifications.
Known for its classic hull design, and upscale finishes, Christensen produces some of the most luxurious superyachts in the U.S. That’s thanks in part to the builder’s in-house design team. Many other builders outsource design. Plus, the builder is known for its exquisite interiors, featuring spacious layouts and the finest finishes. Christensen also regularly wins innovation awards for their efficient and powerful displacement systems and state-of-the-art stabilization.
2. Westport
Since 1964, Westport has been a leader in yacht design and manufacturing in the U.S. And its earned a reputation for developing sporty, classically-styled superyachts.
That wasn’t always the case. Originally, Westport designed and built commercial fishing vessels, but today, Westport focuses exclusively on luxury motor yachts, including 34-, 38-, 40- and 50-meter yachts. Westport’s raised pilothouse and tri-deck yachts feature classic nautical hulls with modern touches. The interiors are sleek and comfortable and known for their spacious outdoor deck areas.
3. Derecktor
Derecktor is one of the country’s oldest yacht builders. It was founded on Long Island, NY in 1947, and during its early years, the company produced commercial fishing and passenger vessels. (Even today, Derecktor manufacturers high-speed ferries for cities around the world.)
Derecktor’s output has changed quite a bit in its 70-year history. Today, the company continues to build commercial vessels, but it’s also a top builder of custom motor yachts. Derecktor produces both explorer yachts and motor yachts, and many of its luxury motor yachts feature explorer-inspired designs. Many Derecktor yachts, for example, feature towering superstructures positioned forward. This opens up an abundance of aft-deck space for outdoor dining areas, beach clubs, and even helipads.
In addition to style, Derecktor yachts are renowned for their performance. They might be sizable. But they’re fast, and the ride is stable.
4. Hatteras
Hatteras is a legendary name in American shipbuilding, known for its high-speed and beautiful motor yachts. Initially, the shipyard focused entirely on sportfish yachts – something they’re still known for today. Yet, the company’s line-up of motor yachts offers the best of the best in luxury yachting.
Hatteras offers a full range of superyachts, including the 100 RPH, a stunning 102-foot raised pilothouse motoryacht, and the M90. Hatteras certainly shows its sporty roots in all of its designs; Hatteras exteriors are sleek and streamlined, sharing design details with its sportfish line.
At Trinity , size is the name of the game. The Gulfport-based shipyard produces yachts up to 123 meters (400 feet), including some of the largest luxury yachts ever built in the U.S.
The yachtbuilder has many signatures. For example, classic nautical architecture is one. Trinity produces some of the most inspiring superstructure designs that feature sleek lines and an abundance of glass. When you charter a Trinity yacht, you’ll have plenty of places to relax, as most of their designs incorporate an abundance of deck space. In the past, that’s include beautiful sky lounges and sprawling aft-deck dining/bar areas.
Below deck, Trinity yachts delivers spacious layouts. The yachtbuilder is know for their opulent owner’s suites and staterooms, as well as stunning salons.
6. Broward Marine
Founded by legendary boatbuilder Frank Denison in the 1950s, Broward Marine has been a leader in superyacht design throughout its history. For example, in 1954, Broward launched its first luxury superyacht, ALISA V. At the time, the 96-footer was a behemoth – similar in grandness to today’s megayachts of 150+ feet.
The Alisa paved a path for the company, which shifted its focus exclusively to luxury motoryachts. In the 1980s, for example, Broward was quick to respond to the trend of the superyachts; Broward sold some 80 yachts in the 1980s, an impressive sales feat.
Under new management in the early 2000s, the company continued its focus on stunning megayachts in the 100- to 160-foot range. Broward yachts are grand in scale, with stunning tri-deck and raised pilothouse designs, and they’re also some of the first to feature farmhouse kitchens. Today, the company focuses primarily on refits, but many of their majestic yachts are still available for charter.
7. Hargrave
Hargrave has been producing yachts since the 1950s, and throughout its history, the shipyard has built a reputation for inspiring yacht designs. In fact, the company initially only focused on design. Founder Jack Hargrave, the famed nautical designer, worked closely with other top U.S. yacht builders including Burger and Hatteras, helping to launch numerous brands.
In 1997, the company transitioned from design to designing and building its own luxury yachts. The company quickly made a name for itself. Hargrave has won numerous awards for its sporty tri-decks and sportfish-inspired motoryachts. Hargrave yachts feature contemporary interiors, matched with sleek profiles.
A Horizon yacht has a distinctive look. The company’s yachts have stately exteriors with tons of classic nautical architectural details. Inside, too, Horizon yachts have a lot of character. Most Horizon yachts feature sprawling windows, creating light and airy interior spaces.
Today, the company produces yachts in the 56- to 150-foot range, and their offerings include power catamarans, tri-decks and raised pilothouse motor yachts.
If you’re looking for a power cat, that’s a Horizon specialty. The company’s PC Series features a range of mid-sized power cats up to about 80 feet, with numerous concept yachts in the works. Yet, Horizon does it all. You’ll find Horizon yachts in just about any style, from Fast Displacement yachts (FD Series), to customized tri-decks (CC Series).
The Burger Boat Company is one of the most historic shipbuilders in the U.S. Originally launched in 1863, the company has built more than 500 yachts in its history (more than 250 of which are still in operation). The company was a pioneer in steel yacht building, but today, Burger primary builds aluminum yachts.
Burger produces a range of custom tri-deck motor yachts, ranging from 112- to 214-foot motor yachts. Burger boats have a distinctive look and feel. They have spacious deck areas, like the wrap-around deck on its current 214-foot tri-deck concept, as well as innovative exterior lounge areas.
10. Delta Marine
For more than 50 years, Delta Marine has been producing world-class motor yachts from its headquarters in Seattle. The boatbuilder is known for its sleek exterior designs. Delta Marine yachts feature clean, flowing lines throughout, and the company produces a range of raised pilothouse and tri-deck motor yachts.
Plus, the interiors are completely custom. As such, no two Delta Marine yachts look the same, and the interiors are as unique as their owners. Delta yachts are also well-known for their performance. Many feature performance-minded hulls, and feature state-of-the-art displacement systems.

LOOKING FOR A PEDESTRIAN YACHT? KEEP ON WALKING.
Since Huckins was first launched in 1928, our yachts have been and continue to be as unique as the people for whom they are created. By designing and building yachts with our customers — not just for them — we champion individuality in a world that sees fewer examples every day.
But don't let Huckins' classic elegance give you the wrong impression. This is not your grandfather's yacht, and our high-performance hulls certainly aren't hewn from wood. Huckins has been utilizing fiberglass composite core construction for 40 years (initially AIREX ® and today Corecell ™ ), and we were one of the first powerboat builders to do so. All of our yachts are built from the most modern materials available to reduce weight, increase strength and maximize fuel efficiency.
A Huckins isn't for everyone, but we make no apologies. For those who appreciate uniqueness and custom craftsmanship, our yachts represent timeless elegance. Visions come to life. And dreams come true. Not to mention the lightest, sweetest-handling and fuel-stingiest yachts ever to put miles between you and the fuel dock.
Huckins' Heritage and Brand: Learn about the legendary Quadraconic ® hull and the Sportsman 36.
The only reason to service a boat elsewhere is if you have a screw loose.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Introduce yourself to the product of more than 96 years of perfectionism.
MERCHANDISE
We invite owners, friends & admirers to display your Huckins individuality.
58' Huckins Offshore "Kemosabe"
This 3 stateroom/3 head layout radiates elegance and distinction. Late model classic Huckins repowered in 2010 with QSM11 Cummins 670 HP. Epoxy glassed exterior and epoxy bilges when built. Traditional mahogany paneling in salon and owners stateroom. The fly-bridge and large cockpit make her a practical fishing boat as well as a fast, seaworthy, blue water family cruiser.

Ten american made yachts for sale with denison yachting..
Most American shoppers are drawn to supporting American industry and business. About two-thirds of Americans are willing to pay more for US-made products over imports, according to a national survey . While Europe is known for its centuries-old yachting industry, the United States is home to some of the world’s most premier yacht builders including Broward Marine , Westport , Burger , and Hatteras . Here are 10 American made yachts for sale with Denison Yachting. These boats are built to last.
1. 157′ Palmer Johnson 1983
Palmer Johnson has a long history of building the world’s most innovative yachts — 207 years to be exact. Their yachts have distinct traits that include an accentuated center line, perfect symmetry, and a sweeping signature curve.
ARABELLA is a one of a kind, iconic 157′ tri-masted staysail schooner custom built by Palmer Johnson in Wisconsin. She was originally built in 1983 but underwent a hull extension to bring her up to USCG Standards in 2000. Not only is ARABELLA a classic beauty, but she also offers the best modern conveniences for sailing, including automated rigging, running gear, navigational equipment, and a single inboard 500HP Caterpillar.

2. 130′ Westport 2007
Westport is an American company founded in 1964 with a heritage that comes from the necessity to build a boat that could be fast and efficient in very rough seas. Being in the Pacific Northwest created challenges that defined their lineage from tried and true commercial vessels to fiberglass and composite motor yachts.
PLAN A is a 130’ Westport with an interior layout that can sleep up to 10 guests in 5 staterooms, including a master suite, 3 double cabins, and 1 twin cabin.

CHIMERA , a 125’ Broward was built in 1989. This classic American tri-deck was the first Broward to be ABS certified and remains fully in class.

Then Viking Yachts grew into a world leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production with over 4,000 Vikings delivered.
PIPE DREAMER is a special 70-foot Viking sportfish yacht. She’s a head-turner with a sleek aggressive look and a sharp-edged feature line that runs from the front of the house to the cockpit. She tops out over 41 knots thanks to 2,600-hp MTU M94 diesel engines. A 206-square-foot cockpit with a Release Marine fighting chair, an in-deck live well, and a mezzanine bait storage and freezer make PIPE DREAMER one of the most complete blue water fishing packages on the market.

Things to do, announcements, boat builders appeal for timber donations to recreate historic sutton hoo ship, boat builders appeal for timber to recreate sutton hoo ship.
Boat builders recreating the Sutton Hoo ship are appealing to the public for help in sourcing timber so they can complete the project.
The Sutton Hoo Ship Company has been recreating the ship which it hopes will be seaworthy.
However, the builders are short of native timber to use in the construction of the the 27m-long ship.
A spokesperson said: "The timber we are seeking will predominantly come in two forms, long clear runs of oak from trunks 6m in length and up to 1.2m diameter (at chest height) for planking and other longitudinal timbers, and curved timbers up to 4m long and 0.4m diameter for frames."
The charity is looking for wood from Ash, Scots Pine, Lime and Willow trees.
"To replace the trees that we are using, we planted 400 oak saplings in March 2024 along with 1,600 other native species at the Saxon Ship Wood in Grundisburgh, near Woodbridge," the spokesperson added.
"These oak saplings were grown from the acorns gathered from our previous felling sites and are being tendered, under covenant, by our volunteers."
They are also looking for timber donations but cannot accept trees with a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
The ship is believed to have been the burial ship of King Raedwald of the East Angles who was interred in the royal burial ground at Sutton Hoo which overlooks the River Deben opposite Woodbridge.
The ship was regularly used by the King before he passed away in 624 or 625 AD.
The burial site was first excavated in 1939 and artefacts from the grave discovered there now form the centrepiece of the British Museum’s early-medieval exhibition.
The ship is currently being reconstructed by the Sutton Hoo Ship Company in a major Experimental Archaeology project with support from the Universities of Oxford and Southampton.
It is currently housed at ‘The Longshed’ , a site purpose-built as a community boatshed and museum on the quay at Woodbridge.
The ship is due to be launched in 2026 after which there will be experimental trials to see whether it is fit for use.
