The Northamptonshire-based luxury yacht manufacturer, employing 250 skilled staff, entered administration in January 2025, merely two months after being acquired by Arrowbolt Propulsion Systems Limited.
The financial turmoil prompted its primary lender, DF Capital, to step in, ensuring continued operations while a buyer is sought.
Production to Continue as Administrators Seek Buyer
Under the guidance of Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), the administrators are exploring potential acquisitions from both domestic and international investors. Fairline Yachts, established in 1967, has long been associated with superior craftsmanship and innovative yacht design, building a strong reputation with customers and dealers worldwide.
Michael Magnay, Joint Administrator at A&M, highlighted the brand’s strength and global appeal, stating: “Fairline Yachts is a prestigious brand with a dedicated team that has cultivated lasting relationships with dealers and clients alike.”
“The brand’s reputation for craftsmanship and design excellence makes it an attractive investment opportunity for the right buyer. We encourage interested parties to reach out to discuss the possibilities.”
