Resourceful. Colorful. Ingenious. And committed to time-honored traditions of excellence. The history of the Cheoy Lee company is as varied and fascinating as the country from which it comes. The Cheoy Lee company has been a major shipbuilder for well over a century, beginning in 1870 with a building and a repair yard for steam-powered craft at Po Tung Point in Shanghai. Run by the same family ever since its beginning, Cheoy Lee is proud of its generations of commitment to the founding principles of the company: quality, technology and design superiority. Moreover, Cheoy Lee has been a marine industry pioneer all throughout the years.

Moreover, Cheoy Lee has been a marine industry pioneer all throughout the years. Responding to world events, in 1936 the family moved the business, to the British territory of Hong Kong where it continued to prosper. Initially specializing in the production of powered cargo vessels (to outrun the Japanese blockade), by the mid-1950s Cheoy Lee had diversified into the production of teak sailing and motoryachts, mostly built for export to the U.S. (Many of the Arthur Robb-designed teak sailboats built by Cheoy Lee then are still being sailed today by their proud owners ' that's a testament to how well they're built!) The future success of the newly formed pleasure craft division soon became apparent: by the mid-1960s, 50% of the company's production was pleasure craft, primarily for the United States market. Meanwhile, the success of the company's commercial craft also continued to grow.
