Pendennis in Falmouth, UK is currently hosting three luxury vessels for refit: the 75,2m motor yacht Northern Light, the 65m sailing yacht Adix, as well as the J-Class yacht Lionheart.
One of the two new 90m construction halls at Pendennis is currently hosting the outstanding 65-metre mega yacht ADIX for a comprehensive 8-month winter refit program.
Thanks to their three new construction halls, Pendennis was very busy with superyacht refit projects in the winter 2013/14. Among the vessels refitted by the Falmouth yard belong charter yacht Nostromo as well as superyacht Christopher.
Pendennis Shipyard has always strived to continually improve the facilities in Falmouth in line with market trends. The recent completion of 3 new construction halls, the installation of a larger travel hoist and expanded project offices, workshop space and crew facilities are in response to the higher demand for winter refit projects, as well as the increase in the average size of vessel, undergoing work in Falmouth.
The majestic 96-metre Devonport mega yacht VAVA II is one of over 100 superyachts expected to head to the breath-taking Alaska yacht charter destination this summer. She is currently moored in Seattle in the USA for provisioning and repairs.
Pendennis has recently lifted the impressive superyacht Mariette with its new 640-tonne travel hoist. She is presently undergoing some minor works at the UK yard, before participating in this year’s Pendennis Cup.
Luxury sailing yacht M5 (ex Mirabella V) left Pendennis yard in the UK following her extensive refit earlier this year and headed for the South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
It is a particularly busy period for the Pendennis Palma refit facility. Current projects include such magnificent vessels as sailing yacht Kenora or superyacht Velacarina.
Pendennis Palma is currently hosting the 1972 Feadship classic yacht Heavenly Daze for a second time. She has gone through a RINA and MCA survey and her re-launch is scheduled for the middle of February.
The world’s largest sloop, superyacht M5 (ex Mirabella V) has recently undergone sail trials in Falmouth, as part of the final stages of her major remodelling and interior redesign project at Pendennis Shipyard.
Refitted by Pendennis, the impressive Ron Holland-designed superyacht M5 (ex Mirabella V) has recently undergone successful sea trials in the North Atlantic.
