Cheoy Lee

Envisioning Maritime Excellence: Cheoy Lee's Illustrious Heritage, Foundation of Innovation

From the depths of the 1800s in Shanghai to modern-day maritime wonders, Cheoy Lee has navigated through more than a century of shipbuilding. With roots tracing back to the Lo family, this shipyard honed its expertise, first converting sail-powered vessels for wartime efforts, before making waves with teak sailing and motor yachts, predominantly in the American market.

Pioneering Fiberglass Revolution

The 1960s marked a pivotal era at Cheoy Lee, with fiberglass transforming the nautical landscape. Pioneering GRP and foam sandwich construction, the shipyard crafted vessels of unparalleled strength and durability. In 1977, the world glimpsed the formidable Shango II, the largest molded fiberglass yacht of its time, showcasing Cheoy Lee's industry-defining vision.

Expansion and Evolution

Cheoy Lee's commitment to innovation spurred the expansion at Penny's Bay and relocation to Zhuhai, China—maintaining its legacy while advancing shipbuilding techniques with cutting-edge materials and designs for commercial and luxury vessels alike.
