Navigator Stands Proud as a California Power Yacht

As one of the largest builders of production pilothouse motorboats in the world, Navigator Yachts has been setting the standard for luxury yachts since 1988. The company’s history reaches way back to 1966 when company founder Jule Marshall started the Marshall Boat Company in Santa Ana, California. Marshall Boat became California Yachts, a West Coast company that relied on American ingenuity and know-how to develop a solid line with reasonable prices in a market dominated by Taiwanese imports.

After Jules sold California Yachts in 1987, he founded Navigator with his two sons, Steven and Gil, in Perris, California. Since that time Navigator has constructed over one thousand 45- to 68-foot semicustom, long-range pilothouse yachts. According to Boating World, Navigator produced “a whole new line of pilothouse motoryachts designed for serious cruising, with all the practical amenities, full visibility and comfortable accommodations that long-range and coastal cruising enthusiasts demand.”

Skilled craftsmanship and quality materials have long been the focus of this American-owned company. And if you want to grab onto a piece of that sunny Southern California heritage, you might want to check out the 1995 Navigator Pilothouse 4500 at California Yacht Sales on Harbor Island in San Diego available right now.
