A Canadian Masterpiece of Custom Luxury.

By Jarrett Matthews

On a picturesque Saturday afternoon at Neptunus Marina in St. Catharines, Ontario, a new chapter in luxury yachting was unveiled with the launch of the Neptunus 750SL. This 23.78-meter-long, 5.77-meter-wide yacht represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and bespoke design, proudly Canadian and meticulously tailored to the desires of its owners.

Design and Craftsmanship

The Neptunus 750SL is not like any other yacht; it demonstrates Neptunus Yachts’ commitment to quality and innovation. Designed by Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architect Ltd., renowned for their work on superyachts, the 750SL boasts a next-generation helm that blends ergonomic efficiency with breathtaking aesthetics. The helm, a standout feature, integrates advanced navigation electronics seamlessly into a custom carbon fibre skylounge, offering panoramic views and unrivaled comfort.

Brian Jervis, Neptunus Yachts’ Marketing Director, highlights the yacht’s design philosophy. 

“It’s all about exceptional quality and attention to detail,” Jervis said. “From the moment you step aboard, you’re greeted with open, light-filled spaces and meticulous craftsmanship.” This attention to detail permeates every aspect of the yacht, from the custom walnut wood joinery to the leather accents and the fully equipped galley designed for practicality without compromising luxury.

Jervis emphasizes the unique features tailored for extended living aboard.

“The full-beam master stateroom with its expansive windows and custom-designed interiors is a standout,” Jervis stated. “It’s about creating a home on the water, where every detail enhances the overall experience.”… “This is without a doubt the most open and bright layout on any boat that we’ve ever done.”

Customization and Personalization

One of Neptunus Yachts’ hallmarks is its ability to cater to individual preferences. Jan Willem de Jong, Managing Director, explains the company’s approach. 

“We’ve built our reputation on understanding our clients’ dreams and turning them into reality,” de Jong said. “Each yacht is a collaboration, ensuring it meets not only our high standards but exceeds the expectations of our discerning clientele.”

The new owners of the newly launched 750SL, are continuously wowed by their new yacht. “Neptunus not only delivered on our specifications but exceeded them in every way. The level of customization is unmatched. Anything from adding a bathtub to an enclosed flybridge, Neptunus Yachts can make even the most specific requests a reality. From the spacious staterooms to the state-of-the-art navigation equipment, every detail reflects our vision of the perfect yacht”.

Community and Legacy

Founded in 1989, Neptunus Yachts has been a cornerstone of the St. Catharines marine industry for 35 years. de Jong says the company is going strong and they are planning for the next 35 years. Despite economic fluctuations, the company has maintained a commitment to excellence, employing local craftsmen and sourcing materials from nearby suppliers. St. Catharines Mayor Mat Siscoe preached about the company’s significance. 

“Neptunus Yachts is more than a manufacturer,” Siscoe said. “It’s a vital part of our community. They contribute not only to our economy but also to our cultural fabric.”

The launch event itself underscored Neptunus Yachts’ deep ties to St. Catharines, with local dignitaries and stakeholders celebrating alongside the new owners and the Neptunus team. The event marked not just the introduction of a new yacht but a reaffirmation of Neptunus Yachts’ enduring legacy and its role in shaping the future of luxury yachting. Dozens of happy customers showed up to congratulate Neptunus’ staff and admire the new vessel they created. 

The Neptunus 750SL represents the culmination of decades of expertise and passion for maritime craftsmanship. As it sets sail from St. Catharines to its new home in Newfoundland, it carries with it the pride of Canadian innovation and the promise of unparalleled luxury on the high seas. With its blend of cutting-edge design, meticulous craftsmanship, and personalized touches, the 750SL solidifies Neptunus Yachts’ reputation as a leader in the global luxury yacht market.

In the words of the new owner, Kim; it’s more than just a yacht; it’s a dream realized. And for Neptunus Yachts, it’s a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence and their vision of crafting some of the finest yachts in the world.
