March 13, 2026 FNT Lifestyle had the privilege of visiting Cheoy Lee Shipyards, one of the most established and respected yacht builders in Asia, with a legacy spanning over 150 years.
During our visit, we had in-depth discussions with CEO Martin Lo and Head of Marketing & Communications Fiona Li. The conversations provided valuable insights into the brand’s evolution, product strategy, and global market positioning. Cheoy Lee stands out for its ability to seamlessly integrate traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering and advanced materials. From fully custom yachts to high-performance composite builds, the shipyard continues to demonstrate strong technical expertise and a deep understanding of international client expectations.

Our tour of the Zhuhai shipyard highlighted a well-structured production system, rigorous quality control standards, and strong global delivery capabilities. From steel and aluminum super yachts to composite motor yachts, Cheoy Lee consistently delivers with reliability and precision.
Our conversation with Martin Lo further emphasized the company’s long-term vision for international expansion and commitment to heritage, while Fiona Li shared valuable perspectives on global branding and market outreach strategies.
For FNT Yacht Lifestyle, this visit represents more than a shipyard tour—it reflects our commitment to engaging with the evolving global yacht manufacturing landscape. As more Asian shipyards gain international recognition, a more dynamic and diversified market is emerging.
Based on the U.S. East Coast, FNT is uniquely positioned to bridge leading Asian yacht builders with international clients. Our mission is to curate high-quality yacht opportunities while fostering meaningful cross-border partnerships. Looking ahead, FNT will continue expanding its global network, collaborating with top-tier shipyards and designers to shape the future of modern yachting.
