Camper and Nicholsons

Camper & Nicholsons (C&N) is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious yacht companies, with roots tracing back over 240 years to the founding of a shipyard in Gosport, England, in 1782. Renowned for its craftsmanship in building classic wooden racing yachts, superyachts, and motor vessels, C&N has influenced yachting history through innovations like the first large diesel-powered yacht and contributions to America's Cup challengers. The company has evolved from a full-service shipyard—encompassing design, construction, brokerage, charter, and management—into a global leader in luxury yacht services, while a separate entity continues limited semi-custom production of retro-inspired commuter yachts. Its legacy includes vessels for royalty, industrialists, and explorers, embodying British maritime excellence.
