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.

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.”

“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”.

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.”
