Pendennis Super Yachts
Yesterday, I had the great privilege of being shown around the Pendennis Shipyard in Falmouth, close to where I live.
Pendennis Shipyard specialises in building and refitting super yachts. They are currently working on the refit of a 57m motor yacht (see dry dock photograph below), the building of a beautiful Ron Holland designed 46m ketch, as well as a number of other projects.

I was shown round by joint managing director, Henk Weikens, who is both passionate and very knowledgeable about his subject. Although this was not the first time that I had visited Pendennis, I was very struck (again) by how dedicated the workforce are to producing a top class product; the finish on the boats has to be seen to be believed, whether it is the exterior, interior, woodwork or mechanical.
It’s great that Cornwall has such a world class facility that attracts customers from all over the world. Thanks to everyone at Pendennis who was involved in showing me round.
Wow, I never knew that Pendennis Super Yachts. That’s pretty interesting…
