Alloy Yachts

Alloy Yachts was established in New Zealand in 1985. The shipyard specialized in the construction of large sailing and motor yachts, primarily using aluminum as their primary build material. Over its operational history, Alloy Yachts developed a reputation for custom yacht construction. The company's facilities were located in Henderson, Auckland, New Zealand. Their approach involved in-house engineering and project management, collaborating with various international designers and naval architects. Alloy Yachts constructed over 40 custom yachts, ranging in size and complexity, before ceasing operations in 2015. The shipyard's focus was on high-performance sailing yachts and custom displacement motor yachts, often featuring complex systems and custom interiors. Throughout its existence, Alloy Yachts maintained a build philosophy centered on custom craftsmanship and attention to detail during the construction process. Their production processes integrated both traditional yacht building skills with evolving technologies for marine construction. The company's closure marked the end of a significant chapter in New Zealand's custom yacht building industry.
