History of Crescent Yachts
Crescent Yachts was originally founded as Crescent Beach Boatbuilders by successful businessman Jack Charles in the 1980s. What began as a sideline to his business in the trucking industry, quickly outgrew its production space and Crescent moved operations to a state-of-the art shipyard in Richmond, British Columbia and rebranded the business as Crescent Custom Yachts to better portray the high-end nature of the products. Many beautiful superyachts over 100ft were produced in this facility just outside of Vancouver and sailed worldwide. Tim Charles, who joined the family business while in high school, saw it close in 2004 due to financial pressures and its assets were later sold to an investment firm where it stagnated during the recession years. After graduation, grandson of founder Jack, Tim Charles started a yacht refit and transformational overhaul business, leasing some of the service bays from the new owner of the Crescent yard and hiring former employees. The new company, Platinum Marine thrived and grew to over 100 employees, leading to an opportunity to buy back the Crescent brand and intellectual property in 2015. Crescent Custom Yachts focused on the design and building of new yachts, while Platinum Marine continued with the refit business.
