Sealine International

What Sealine International does

Sealine International is a luxury motor yacht brand founded in 1972 in the United Kingdom and currently owned by German yacht manufacturer HanseYachts AG, which acquired the company in 2013-2014. The brand designs and produces motor yachts in the 33ft to 53ft range, organized into three series — Cruiser (C), Sport (S), and Flybridge (F) — with eight active models including the C430, C390, C335v, C335, S390, S335v, S335, and F430. Naval architecture and exterior styling are led by designer Bill Dixon, appointed chief designer under HanseYachts ownership.

Manufacturing is carried out at HanseYachts AG's Greifswald shipyard in Germany, allowing shared tooling, supplier networks, and engineering resources across the parent group's portfolio. Sealine sells exclusively through a network of more than 80 authorized dealers spanning over 40 countries, supported by a website available in seven languages and active participation in international boat shows. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the customer base consists of high-net-worth individuals purchasing discretionary luxury assets; the brand does not publish unit volumes, revenue, or backlog.

The business model is asset-heavy luxury manufacturing distributed through third-party dealers, with revenue generated primarily from one-off yacht sales supplemented by dealer-driven aftermarket and service activity. Customer concentration at the brand level is naturally low, as each yacht is a discrete B2C transaction, though the brand is exposed to cyclical discretionary spending patterns in the global luxury marine market.

Core offering

SEALINE designs, engineers and builds a portfolio of eight luxury motor yachts and powerboats (33–44 ft) across three series — Cruiser (C430, C390, C335v, C335), Sport (S390, S335v, S335) and Flybridge (F430) — manufactured at the HanseYachts AG shipyard in Greifswald, Germany, with designs by Bill Dixon. The brand sells these yachts through a global network of 82 authorised dealers across 40+ countries, supported by an online configurator, brochure-request tool and dealer-delivered after-sales services.

Product overview

SEALINE's offering is a single-product family of luxury motor yachts and powerboats, produced under the HanseYachts AG group and engineered/manufactured in Greifswald, Germany with British maritime-heritage design input from Bill Dixon. The portfolio is organised into three series — Cruiser (C430, C390, C335, C335v), Sport (S390, S335, S335v) and Flybridge (F430) — and is sold globally through a network of roughly 80+ authorised dealers. Two customer-facing web tools sit alongside the boats: the SEALINE Yacht Configurator (configurator.sealine.com), which lets buyers specify any of the eight current models, and the SEALINE Brochure Request tool, which delivers model-specific brochures. The SEALINE Dealer Services programme wraps the boats with sea trials, detailing, upgrades, winter storage, maintenance, spare parts, insurance, charter and financial services. The website itself is localised in seven languages (English, American English, German, Italian, Turkish, French and Spanish), and the brand participates in a regular calendar of boat shows and dealer events (Cannes Yachting Festival, Southampton International Boat Show, BOOT Düsseldorf, Palma International Boat Show, plus the Bernau am Chiemsee and Greifswald showrooms).
