Camper & Nicholsons Yachts

About Camper & Nicholsons Yachts

Camper & Nicholsons is one of the oldest builders on the planet that is still in operation today. Known for their speedy wooden racing sailboats, Camper & Nicholsons built a reputation for creating epic J-Class sloops that successfully competed in the America’s Cup Races. But this company doesn’t just create world class sailing vessels, they also build massive Superyachts like the 80 meter Philante commissioned by Sir Thomas Sopwith back in 1937.

More recently, Camper & Nicholsons was acquired by Nautor’s Holding (Nautor’s swan) in 2001. Since then, Camper & Nicholsons has experimented with composite built, deep-V hulls such as the 16.65 meter Velsheda 50 with design by C. Raymond Hunt Associates. Many of the luxury motor yachts produced by Camper & Nicholsons today measure between 14 and 23.65 meters but while in collaboration with other builders, a 42 meter superyacht is possible.
