ABOUT KANTER MARINE

From an apprenticeship in Germany, to the founding of Kanter Marine, vessels have been our life. We have built fast, elegant yachts for discerning owners and tough, powerful search-and-rescue vessels for the Coast Guard. Over the years, we have cruised extensively and because of this, we have developed strong views regarding what constitutes a proper yacht. Those views influence the concept, design and construction of every vessel Kanter builds. 

We believe that a proper vessel is fast enough to outrun a storm and strong enough to sail through one. It is spacious, comfortable and sea kindly. It maintains good speed on auxiliary power and can be sailed short-handed in all conditions. A proper vessel is also self sufficient. It utilizes only the highest-quality components and can carry ample provisions for extended cruising. Conceived and created for a specified owner, a proper yacht’s concept, design and construction are never compromised. Finally, a proper vessel is beautiful. It stirs your soul as much as it respects your intellect.
