    History

    The course of DEFEVER development

    1960
    1960
    The brand name of DeFever yachts originally stems from Arthur DeFever, who designed commercial tuna speedboats for the San Diego fleet in his early years.
    In the early 1960s, Arthur joined the Sea-Go-Go Association. The association hired Arthur to design a series of seaworthy cruising motorboats ranging from 38 to 54 feet in length. These were deep-draft, full-displacement, diesel-powered vessels capable of extending the Pacific Ocean routes in comfort and safety.

    By 1970, fiberglass had become the preferred hull material for shipbuilding. In the design, single diesel power gave way to twin engines. Appropriate modifications were made, but the typical swept, high bow, and displacement hull form were retained.
    1973

    Jimmy Ma, the Chairman of the Board, has been involved in the global yacht industry for over 45 years. In 1973, he commenced his trading business by operating a freight forwarding company. Subsequently, he collaborated with multiple American yacht importers and established Taiwan's first yacht export company. During his collaboration with American clients, he met Arthur DeFever, the founder of DeFever, and developed a profound interest in the yacht industry.

    In 1994, Jimmy was full of confidence in the future of the Chinese yacht market. He founded his first yacht manufacturing company in Fuzhou, Fujian, China, becoming the second Taiwanese investor in the Chinese yacht industry. He was also the first Chinese yacht manufacturer to export yachts to the United States, and his construction quality was recognized and accepted by the American market. Later, he founded Qingyuan Defair Boat Technology Co., Ltd. in China.
    2021
    2021
    The company has developed mature 36-foot luxury yachts, 40-foot luxury catamaran yachts, 50-foot sports yachts, 60-foot luxury yachts, and 65-foot luxury business catamaran yachts, which have been highly recognized in markets such as Europe, North America, and Australia.
    In 2021, the company decided to develop a 76-foot luxury flybridge yacht and a 78-foot catamaran to meet the demands of both the traditional international yacht market and the growing domestic yacht market in China. The company maintains its consistent philosophy of high-quality, high-efficiency production methods, ensuring construction standards and enhancing product reliability, so that all buyers can truly enjoy yachts made in China.
