FA M I LY T R A D I T I O N Cheoy Lee Shipyards is operated by the fourth and fifth generations of the Lo family, drawing on more than 150 years of commercial and recreational shipbuilding experience. Its employees include long-time, loyal workers who blend artisanal skills with cutting-edge techniques and technology. All Cheoy Lee Yachts construction takes place at the Hin Lee (Zhuhai) Shipyard facility, situated approximately 45 miles west of Hong Kong.
LATE 1800´s
Cheoy Lee Yiu Kee Shipyards is established on the Pudong Peninsula in Shanghai, China, by the great-grandfather of the current director of Cheoy Lee, and his two brothers.
1936 The family shipyard moves to Hong Kong. World War II breaks out shortly thereafter, at which time the shipyard specializes in repowering merchant sailing vessels to outrun the Japanese blockade.
1957 Sailing Yacht Mahjong, a 52’ Sparkman & Stephens-designed, teak Bermudian yawl built in 1957, sails from Hong Kong to New York on her own bottom on a 15,000-mile shakedown delivery voyage. Cheoy Lee also begins production of the bluewater Lion 35 sailboat class. Over the years, 70 Lions were built of teak wood before the shipyard converted to fiberglass construction for another 27 Lions.
1950
1977
Cheoy Lee resumes in a shipyard that was devasted by the war. Additionally, the shipyard begins research and development for constructing teak sailing vessels and motoryachts.
The largest GRP yacht of its time, the 40m (130’) motor sailer Shango II is built at Cheoy Lee’s new Penny’s Bay facility on Lantau Island in Hong Kong, from a custom one-off fiberglass mold.
CHEOY LEE THROUGH TIME
1980
Cheoy Lee builds the first production, all-foam-cored, vacuum-bagged fiberglass motoryacht. This 48 Sportfisherman outperforms lower-tech rivals, enabling the model to cross over to patrol and law enforcement applications. This is also the cornerstone of a long and successful relationship with legendary American naval architect Tom Fexas.
1996 The original M/Y Seashaw was the first 145’ yacht in the Cheoy Lee Global Series. This GRP built motoryacht was designed by Frank Mulder. Cheoy Lee also sold the Penney’s Bay facility at this time for the construction of Hong Kong Disneyland. Yacht production was moved to mainland China.
2000 The first pleasure and commercial vessels to be completed at the shipyard’s new facilities in Hin Lee are the 125’ M/Y Janet and the 30m (98’5’) Hydrographic Survey Vessel Mata Ikan, built for the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
2007 Cheoy Lee delivers the first Transoceanic Explorer Series M/Y Marco Polo (now M/Y Dorothea III). Designed by naval architect Ron Holland and featuring a steel hull and innovative propulsion system, this 45m (147’) luxury superyacht goes on to cruise all around the globe, averaging 20,000 nautical miles per year.
2012 A second Cheoy Lee Transoceanic Explorer Series Yacht is launched, M/Y Quing. Her full-displacement steel hull has a range of 6,600 nautical miles.
2020 In collaboration with American naval architect Jon Overing, Cheoy Lee introduces the Explorer series of Oceangoing expedition yachts, beginning with the 107 Explorer. Built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the 107 Explorer combines a spacious five-stateroom layout with a range of 4,500 nautical miles.
