Pachoud Yachts has built an international reputation as a pioneer in the construction of high performance, custom composite vessels. Founded in 1987 in Rotorua, New Zealand, the shipyard began with a simple 36’ (11.0m) monohull that immediately attracted a global audience. Since moving to its expansive Tauranga facility in 2000, the yard has focused its expertise on luxury power catamarans and sophisticated motor launches.

The builder is especially known for its command of epoxy composite and carbon fiber technology. By managing every stage of the process in-house (from naval architecture to bespoke timber joinery) the team maintains strict quality control over every hull that leaves the shed. This vertical integration allows for a level of precision that seasoned owners expect from top tier custom builders.

For clients seeking a yacht that prioritizes both efficiency and individual style, Pachoud offers a deeply personal journey. The shipyard's work in hydrofoil research and advanced hydrodynamics has led to some of the most innovative multihulls currently afloat. Whether commissioning a sleek explorer or a fast sports cruiser, owners benefit from a blend of Kiwi ingenuity and world class engineering.
