Symbol

Founded in 1982 by CEO Jimmy Cheng, Symbol Yacht Co., Ltd. believes that the success of any business lies in its base of good people. Recognising the importance of the artistry, skill and craftsmanship of a matured boat building industry above cutting costs, Symbol is one of a small number of Taiwanese yacht builders that have pledged not to move or begin manufacturing their boats in locations with cheaper labour rates.

With well over 20 years of experience throughout various Taiwanese shipbuilders, Jimmy Cheng founded Symbol as the first production boat builder of planing hulls in Taiwan. Twenty four years later Symbol has grown to become a successful exporter and builder of semi-custom fine luxury motor yachts, classic and pilothouse yachts. Symbol have a good solid record of meeting ISO 9001 and ABS requirements, demonstrated best amongst others by a 58’ Yacht Fisherman we built for the government of Queensland, Australia, as well as the PIL Harbour Launch built for Hong Kong. Symbol’s facilities, situated a short 15 minute drive from Kaohsiung International Airport, Taiwan, now cover over 110,500 square feet with more than 60% under cover. Symbol employs 150+ skilled workers, carpenters, electricians, mechanics, designers, naval architects and engineers, most with 20+ years of experience.

In 1998 world renowned naval architect, with four decades of experience, best known for his mega yacht designs, Jack W. Sarin, signed on to become Symbol’s exclusive designer. Symbol’s line of fine luxury yachts now covers many models sized from 42’ upwards to 88’ with the exception of a few models, all are designed by Jack W. Sarin Naval Architects, Inc.

At Symbol beauty is not just skin deep. Symbol’s belief is that customers are not just looking for an inexpensive Sarin look-a-like; they expect a beautiful boat with a superbly engineered base. To truly understand the benefits of melding Jack W. Sarin’s ingenuity with Symbol’s experienced craftsmanship Symbol encourages you to contact your closest Symbol dealer, ask questions and look beneath the surface. Above all, because some of the finer details, such as the true artistry behind Jack W. Sarin’s lines and the contour of his hull are most apparent by experience, Symbol urges you to request a sea trial and learn for yourself the difference between true value and a good bargain.*
