Is Canada trying to join the ranks of the world's top superyacht building nations? The fresh delivery of the Danzante Bay pleasure craft officially paves the way for superyachts built in Canada, and they could be getting bigger and bigger.
The delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic made Danzante Bay a long-awaited superyacht. Commissioned back in 2019, it was finally delivered to its eager customer almost five years later. That's a long time to wait, but it was probably worth it, at least for having become the proud owner of the largest motor yacht built in Canada.
At 164 feet (50 meters), Danzante Bay crosses into superyacht territory, although there are no officially recognized standards. One thing's for sure – it's the biggest luxury yacht made in Canada. Last summer, it left its shed in British Columbia for the first time. This summer, its owner will finally be able to enjoy his first season onboard.
The lucky fellow who recently took delivery of this brand-new yacht is an American who also happens to own a luxury resort and golf course in Mexico. In fact, the yacht was named after that resort.
A Crescent 164, Danzante Bay is also the flagship vessel of Crescent Custom Yachts, a Richmond-based shipyard. Another Canadian company, Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architect, was in charge of the yacht's exterior design and naval architecture, while the composite hull was purchased from Christensen Shipyards.
Although we don't get to admire the interior design by H2 Yacht Design, it's easy to imagine this as a contemporary pleasure craft with a fresh, informal vibe. A generous 499 GT volume enables it to welcome up to 12 guests across six staterooms, while the crew quarters are spacious enough for ten people, including the captain.
Like most contemporary builds, the Danzante Bay will sport a generous-sized jacuzzi, multiple indoor and outdoor socializing and dining options, as well as ample storage for tenders and all kinds of water toys. The luxurious beach club designed to connect those onboard with the water as closely as possible gives off exotic resort vibes, most likely inspired by the owner's resort in Mexico.
So far, it looks like Canada's biggest superyacht will be limited to private use, which means we won't get to see too much of it. Still, a unique toy like that needs to be flaunted, so it probably has a busy summer season ahead.
If you're wondering how much it costs to get the biggest superyacht built in Canada made for you and delivered to you five years later, expect an eight-figure answer. The Danzante Bay was originally commissioned for a whopping €35 million (almost $38 million), but things might have fluctuated over the long period it took to finalize it.
