New Yacht Construction Expertise with American Tug
American Tug’s La Conner facility is uniquely equipped for semi‑custom trawlers that blend rugged Pacific‑Northwest engineering with yacht‑quality interiors. Worth Avenue Yachts leverages long‑standing ties to the yard—down to laminate schedules and engine‑room layouts—so we can lock in hull length, galley position, and electronics before infusion begins. Each milestone, from mold prep to sea trial, is logged in our secure build‑tracking portal, giving owners real‑time progress reports and transparent cost control.
Because American Tug maintains a limited annual output, we curate a proprietary list of “started builds” that can shorten delivery by months while preserving full specification freedom—whether you want a Cummins QSL9 upgrade, additional fuel capacity, or custom teak finishes. Our in‑house naval architects provide independent technical reviews; our after‑sales team coordinates flag‑state paperwork, training, and warranty claims worldwide. Partnering with Worth Avenue Yachts ensures that your new American Tug is launched on schedule, on budget, and ready to cruise confidently from Alaska’s Inside Passage to the Florida Keys.
