Jade Yachts is a Taiwanese yacht manufacturer headquartered in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It is a subsidiary of the Jong Shyn Shipbuilding Company.
Jade Yachts was founded in 2004 as a subsidiary of the Jong Shyn Shipbuilding Company specializing in steel and aluminum yachts. In 2006 the yard delivered the 26.46-metre Bandido, which was the first steel-hulled motor yacht ever built in Taiwan.
In 2014 the company created a floating pavilion for the Taiwan International Boat Show.
In 2016 the yard gave the 65 m Benetti Ambrosia III its 10-year refit.
Amadeus originally constructed in 1969 by GermanyâÂÂs Neue Jadewerft as a research vessel, the 70m/230ft Amadeus underwent a transformative twoâÂÂyear conversion at TaiwanâÂÂs Jade Yachts beginning in 2006, emerging as a luxurious expedition-style superyacht in 2007. She was originally owned by Bernard Arnault. The conversion featured exterior redesign by Reymondâ¯Langton Design and sophisticated interior styling by Zuretti, with naval architecture guidance from Vripack. This metamorphosis redefined her into a 1,622 GT explorer yacht, blending rugged capability with exceptional comfortâÂÂand has remained a hallmark transformation in modern yacht conversions..
Jade 959 is a 52 m ice class yacht launched in 2014.
