What Golden Yachts does

Golden Yachts is a privately held Greek superyacht construction and refit company founded in 1996 and headquartered at a purpose-built shipyard in Perama, Piraeus, Greece. The company specializes in bespoke new-build superyachts ranging from 36m to 95m and offers complementary major refit, yacht management, and after-sales services. Over its history it has delivered more than 30 vessels, including flagship builds such as the 95m O'Pari, the 88m Project X, the 85m O'Ptasia, and the 78m O'Rea, with a forward pipeline extending through 2028 (O'CEANIS in 2027 and a new 85m O'EVA in 2028). Engineering capabilities center on in-house naval architecture, advanced 3D design visualization, sustainable propulsion integration (IMO Tier III, DPF systems, ELIN fuel technology yielding up to 10% fuel and 38% emissions reductions), and specialized structural features such as the largest round glass elevator ever installed on a yacht. The company operates exclusively in the direct-to-UHNWI segment through consultative enterprise sales, Monaco Yacht Show presence, and earned media via a sustained track record of industry awards. Golden Yachts is family-owned with first- and second-generation owners active in Greek shipping; revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no external investors, subsidiaries, or public listings. Long-standing design partnerships with Studio Vafiadis, Massari Design Studio, Ken Freivokh Design, and Winch Design underpin the exterior and interior design of nearly every flagship build.
