Company history

Heysea Yachts (Haixing, «Starfish») was founded over 10 years ago by three ambitious Chinese engineers. Through internships in various parts of the world, they gained a global vision of the yachting industry and were able to assess the place of China in it.

The company began its journey in 2004, initially producing and selling floating houses primarily for Hong Kong. But as early as 2007 Heysea began to refit for the production of large motor yachts. The financial crisis corrected the initial plan for global expansion and the company had to focus on the domestic market for the time being. Having thoroughly studied the needs and lifestyle of local clients, the company has achieved serious success. So, already in 2009 Heysea has entered the top 10 Chinese shipyards.

Since 2012 the company confidently holds the title of the best Chinese yacht builder.

Most of the company’s clients are from China, Hong Kong, Philippines and other East Asian countries. However, the shipyard is expanding its network of offices around the world, focusing on the American and Australian markets. Some of the models are designed to meet the needs of American customers, with Heysea boats costing significantly less than those of Western competitors.
