Historical Shannon

Shannon’s international reputation for building the world’s finest semi-custom yachts was based on its ability to bring together the thousands of details necessary to create a beautiful yacht. Although each Shannon built was a unique personalized vessel, all models exhibited the common theme of quality through attention to detail. Shannon built only a limited number of yachts (500 yachts valued at $250M) each for a specific owner with a broad range of layout and equipment choices. While not an inexpensive approach partiularly when compared to production boats, the Shannon emerged as an uncompromised, ultimate yacht, a fact confirmed by the extended length of individal ownership and consistently high resale value. 

Today, the Company has transitioned to product development, with a focus on blue technology.  Shannon’s ultimate mission is to reverse the massive environmental impact of pollution brought about by seagoing vessels in the marine transportation industry.

Shannons are still world-renowned blue water sail and motor yachts that have logged millions of ocean miles, including an impressive list of circumnaviations and transoceanic passages  Every major harbor in the world has been visited by a Shannon and Shannon’s boatbuilding experience has been an unbroken, evolutionary chain since 1975.
