Future prosperity

Luxury British motor yacht manufacturer Fairline Yachts has formed a partnership with RiverRock European Opportunities Fund, securing a significant £15 million cash facility. In conjunction with the current owners, the capital investment will be used to accelerate Fairline’s product development agenda.

The partnership with RiverRock will help Fairline build on the expansion of the business during 2019, which is forecast to deliver more than 80 yachts and a turnover of circa £50 million.

CEO of Fairline Yachts, David Tydeman, says, “Demonstrating its support and confidence in Fairline, we very much welcome the investment from RiverRock, which is in-line with our long-term plan for the brand.

The funds will help add pace to our innovative product development programme, which is critical for the sustained growth of the business and to meet our discerning buyers’ requirements. Customer belief in our brand is strong and with this additional investment, we are in a robust position to continue delivering on our ambitious growth plans.”
