Pendennis Shipyard
Who they are
Pendennis Shipyard, established in 1989 in
Falmouth, employs over 180 craftsmen including highly-skilled steel
and aluminium fabricators, experienced joiners, boat builders,
electricians, mechanical and electrical engineers, project managers
and paint technicians.
What they do
Pendennis Shipyard builds and refurbishes some
of the world's most technologically advanced and luxury super
yachts. The company was recently awarded a Regional Selective
Assistance grant to fund a major development which provides an
environmentally controlled dry dock capable of refitting yachts up
to 70 metres. The dock measures 75 metres long and is 25 metres
wide with an air draught of 19 metres. Also included in the
development are a new fitting out/refit hall, new joinery and
finishing workshops, offices and dedicated store rooms.
The new covered dock facility will also allow
Pendennis to further develop their Painting and Yacht finishing
skills. There is a major Skills Centre planned within the confines
of Pendennis and managed by Marine South West, which will ensure
that fully trained craftsman will be available to apply the very
high quality surface finishes demanded for this type of vessel.
