Largest New Build Yacht to be Built by Crescent Custom Yachts
Sept 12, 2019
Crescent Custom Yachts has a Gregory C. Marshall designed Crescent 164’ (50m) under construction in their shipyard in Richmond, BC. The project was sold to an American client who has named the yacht “Danzante Bay” after his resort and golf course in Loreto, Mexico.
The Yacht design firm Gregory C. Marshal Naval Architect Ltd. based in Victoria British Columbia, has built a reputation as one of the top naval architecture firms in the world. For more than 35 years, founder Greg Marshall and his partner naval architect Gordon Galbraith, have designed ever larger mega yachts for clients throughout the world.
Crescent has been building world-class boats over 100’ since 1986. The Crescent 164’ is the largest recreational motor yacht to be built in Canada, surpassing the largest build to date, the builder’s Crescent 145.
Tim Charles, Crescent Custom Yachts principal, says “We are excited to add this exceptional vessel to our line of custom yachts. The composite hull was purchased from Christensen Shipyards. It is well built and is a proven platform for the Crescent design.”
The project was brokered by Northrop and Johnson’s Paul Daubner and Steve Elario. Northrop and Johnson also represent the 2020 Crescent 117 Fast Pilothouse and is available for sale.
The 145 was until now Canada’s largest
