Cheoy Lee started building and repairing steam-driven vessels all the way back in 1870. In 1936, the family which founded and still operates Choey Lee today moved its operation to Hong Kong. Interestingly enough, Cheoy Lee would begin building cargo vessels meant to outrun Japanese blockades. After WW2, Cheoy Lee would use its skilled workers to branch over to sailing and motor yachts. Cheoy Lee continues to build commercial vessels but 90% of their production is still luxury yachts.

The main shipyard that is still used today is located on the Pearl River in Doumen. This enables the production of vessels of up to 60 meters in length. Cheoy Lee is a very versatile builder who specializes in a wide range of customizable luxury yachts. The shipyard regularly combines elements of steel, aluminum, and composite materials to create insanely tough vessels meant for the high seas.
