PMG Shipyard with 60 foot catamaran being launched
PMG Shipyard was first established in 2004, as a privately held company with Swiss ownership and management, having strong European presence in management and key technical positions with world-renowned members of the advisory board.
Initially, our reputation was built on the production of small leisure yachts. Soon, the word spread about the excellent craftmanship of our tailor-made commercial vessels and moderately sized catamarans, ideal for day out trips.
PMG Shipyard has been expanding over the last years to be able to fulfill an ever-growing demand for luxury yachts from our partners and customers. The yard now owns a totally refurbished shipyard in Rayong, Thailand, 20,800 sq.m. with 8 production buildings. That allows us to have dedicated buildings for each of the production processes. We now routinely build yachts of 50-60 feet and larger.
Management:
As of 1 January 2025, Tristan is the managing Director and CEO of PMG Shipyard. He is a naval architect and boat builder from Geneva, Switzerland, with a degree in Yacht and Powercraft Design from Solent University in Southampton. Among Tristan’s areas of expertise is the use of leading edge technology, materials and construction methods in yacht building and design.
Passionate yachtsman, Philippe, the founder of PMG Shipyard, spent his childhood on the shores of Lake Geneva and soon learned about the joys of yacht racing as well as navigating on high seas.
As a member of a family involved in a shipyard on Lake Geneva, Philippe quite naturally decided to devote his energy and competence to PMG Shipyard. Keen on solar technology, he investigates high and low in order to become one of the pioneers of mixed energy marine transportation. Philippe oversees the International business development and strategic partnerships.
As of 1 January 2025, Philippe has retired, but can be reached by contacting the shipyard.
