About Crescent Yachts
A Canadian Legacy Reborn
Founded in 1988 by Jack Charles in Crescent Beach, British Columbia, Crescent Custom Yachts quickly became known for producing structurally sound, beautifully finished motor yachts over 100 feet. After a period of transition and ownership changes in the early 2000s, the brand was revived in 2015 by Tim Charles, the founder’s grandson. Today, Crescent is once again building world-class yachts at its original Fraser River shipyard near Vancouver.
Tailored Design for the Modern Yachtsman
Crescent specializes in fully custom motor yachts constructed from fiberglass, aluminum, steel, and composite materials. The design process is rooted in close collaboration with owners, naval architects, and interior designers, ensuring each build reflects the client’s personal lifestyle, performance goals, and aesthetic vision. Flexible production and a six-bay facility allow Crescent to manage multiple large-scale projects simultaneously.
Noteworthy Builds and Global Reach
Crescent’s yachts have been delivered to a primarily American client base and are recognized for their raised pilothouse configurations, exceptional finish, and offshore capabilities. The 102’ Determination is among the yard’s best-known vessels, and current projects include the Crescent 108, 115, and 155—all designed to meet the highest international standards.
Innovation, Engineering, and Performance
A pioneer in North American yacht construction, Crescent was the first builder on the continent to meet the UK’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) standards. The shipyard continues to implement advanced technologies across its builds, including precision lamination techniques and robust marine systems. Located minutes from open water, Crescent’s facility features a 330-ton Travelift and is well-equipped for sustainable, efficient production.
