“Probably the world's finest bluewater cruising yachts”

Discovery Yachts, world class builders of blue-water cruising yachts, have invested over £150,000 in a new CNC 5 Axis cutting and milling machine. The new equipment which replaces the company’s existing 3 Axis machine, recently arrived in the yard
and undertook its first day of operation today.

The new 5 Axis machines will enable the company to accurately cut complex shapes for the highly crafted bespoke interiors that are the hallmark of Discovery’s range of award winning yachts. The investment in these highly technical precision machines will result in a significantly more efficient and faster throughput for the in-house joinery shop as well as enabling the company to
increase its capacity and improve efficiencies.

Discovery Yachts are one of the few UK boatbuilders able to offer its customers in-house craftsmanship of such quality and this new investment together with its recent purchase of a bespoke veneer press, cutting and finishing equipment takes their in-house capabilities to a new level. Discovery customers are now able to enjoy a full choice of interior timbers, individual designs and bespoke inlay work for their luxury blue-water cruising yacht.

Commenting on the new equipment, Managing Director Nigel Stuart said, “Our significant investment in this state-of-the-art 5 Axis equipment during these uncertain economic times confirms our commitment to driving business and ensuring growth through innovation and investment. These investments will ensure that we can offer our discerning clients the highest quality in-house joinery together with the opportunity for unique and personal designs to be incorporated into the build of their yachts.”

Discovery yachts recently launched and handed over three new luxury yachts to owners and announced the launch of their latest design, the Discovery 57 at the recent Southampton Boat Show.
