New and used DeFever boats for sale

DeFever Yachts has its origins in the early 1960s, when naval architect Arthur DeFever began designing passagemaking and cruising yachts. Arthur DeFever's background in commercial fishing boat design allowed him to create vessels known for their seaworthiness and reliability. The company's designs initially gained popularity among long-range cruisers and were predominantly constructed in wood, later transitioning to fibreglass for improved durability.Originally, DeFever started collaborating with Jensen Marine for the production of his yachts, and later, the construction shifted to the Sen Koh yard in Taiwan. The move to Asian production facilities leveraged the cost advantages while still adhering to high standards of craftsmanship. Over the decades, DeFever designs evolved to include motor-yachts and trawlers, all tailored for long-distance cruising enthusiasts.Today, DeFever Yachts continues to uphold its legacy of producing reliable and luxurious cruising vessels. The production has largely moved to Mainland China, where they maintain strict quality control measures to preserve the integrity of Arthur DeFever’s original designs. Despite changes in production location and materials, the brand remains synonymous with excellence in long-distance cruising yachts.
