Sky Walker Yachts have seen exponential growth and a surge in popularity in a very short period with their fresh approach to bringing in new vessels into Dubai’s charter market, all built at the Sky Walker Shipyard. Now attracting the attention of private buyers with their customizable luxury S-60 Catamaran owners’ version, recently showcased at the 2024 Boat Show.


“We are all excited to be entering this space and thrilled by the response thus far on the S-60 models. We see the move as a natural evolution for the business given our experience and manufacturing capabilities. However, for now, we maintain a focus on delivering a solid product for the Middle Eastern market, backed by a strong post-handover support channel through the Sky Walker Service Team. As we leverage this and launch with further models scheduled for release this summer. I am confident a springboard will form for wider expansion.” Says Simon Wickham - Managing Director
