History is on our side

When your business is focused on solving technical problems for the military, innovation becomes second nature. Over more than four centuries, Devonport has responded to the changing requirements of the Royal Navy and has met the needs of this most demanding of customers.

That experience lends itself perfectly to the work of designing and building superyachts. We operate in complete harmony with you to realise your vision, no matter how complex, no matter how precise. This isn't just a mindset: it's something we back up with our comprehensive range of resources.


Facilities

DEVONPORT has two separate facilities, in Plymouth and Appledore (both in Devon). Independently, both sites are well respected in the industry: combined, they offer an unprecedented blend of design, engineering, fabrication and shipbuilding credentials.

Financial stability

Developing a superyacht is a major investment for you - and for us. As part of the Babcock International Group, a company with a turnover in excess of £900 million, DEVONPORT has the financial stability needed to take on projects of any scale. You can depend on us to deliver and to stay the course - just like our ships.
