High-Volume Fiberglass Motoryachts Built for Long-Range Luxury
Richmond Yachts was founded in 2004 by Texas businessman Don Davis after acquiring the former Sovereign Yachts facility in Richmond, British Columbia. The yard produced a series of high-volume fiberglass motoryachts between 138′ and 150′, known for their traditional interiors and thoughtful, owner-driven features. Operating until 2015, Richmond launched seven yachts from its 70,000 sq. ft. facility on the Fraser River.

About Richmond Yachts
Vision Born from Personal Necessity
Founded in 2004 by Texas entrepreneur Don Davis, Richmond Yachts rose from the remains of Sovereign Yachts in Richmond, British Columbia. Davis acquired the yard to complete his own 138-foot tri-deck (later named Status Quo) after Sovereign folded, retaining most of its skilled workforce and reopening under a new banner.
Semi-Custom, Spec-Built Efficiency
Rather than full custom builds, Richmond focused on semi-custom, spec-built yachts to ensure quality, schedule control, and cost-effectiveness. The yard’s approach enabled uniform production and completion of vessels around 120‑155 ft in just about a year.
Iconic Vessels & Esteemed Clients
Richmond launched several notable motoryachts including the SunChaser (142′, 2006) and the flagship Status Quo tri-deck series, each engineered with ABS class certification and interior designs by Pavlik and Setzer.
Innovation Through Practical Build Methods
Built in a climate-controlled, 70,000 sq ft facility, Richmond’ hulls featured composite fiberglass with refined traditional interiors and owner-driven upgrades. Incremental innovations—like redesigned vertical pilothouse windows—enhanced visibility and onboard comfort with each successive hull.
