About Kadey Krogen Yachts
Heritage of Bluewater Passage Making
Founded in 1977 by Art Kadey and naval architect Jim Krogen, Kadey-Krogen Yachts began with the Krogen 42—a full-displacement trawler inspired by North Sea fishing vessels. Over time, the yard has built over 600 yachts ranging from 36 to 58 feet, earning a reputation for reliable, ocean-ready craftsmanship.
Client-Driven Customization
Kadey-Krogen offers semi-custom builds that enable owners to personalize interior layouts, hull structures, and systems. Consequently, clients influence key aspects like finish materials and liveaboard ergonomics to suit their long-range cruising needs.
Legendary Models and World-Class Owners
With standout models such as the Krogen 42, 48 Whaleback, and 52 Trawler, Kadey-Krogen yachts have proven global voyagers capable of crossing oceans in comfort. Additionally, an active owner community regularly shares experiences and knowledge, reinforcing the brand’s credibility among serious cruisers.
Innovation in Construction & Sustainability
Furthermore, Kadey-Krogen integrates advanced building techniques—like foam-core fiberglass, lead ballast, and aramid reinforcement—to craft efficient, lightweight, and durable hulls that offer up to 40% improved fuel efficiency. Moreover, new models such as the 60 Open showcase the brand’s ongoing commitment to modern design, liveability, and eco-conscious cruising.
