We are KM Yachtbuilders

Since 1998, KM Yachtbuilders has pioneered the construction of innovative aluminum explorer yachts, always guided by the principles of safety, adventure, and sustainability.

Over the years, we have grown into a team of 80 dedicated professionals and have built more than 100 yachts. Today, decades later, our vessels continue to explore the world’s oceans, from pole to pole, carrying forward our legacy of craftsmanship, reliability, and a spirit of adventure.

Every yacht reflects our commitment to sustainable yachtbuilding, expert craftsmanship, and timeless durability, ready for every ocean, every climate, and every unknown.
