Yachts Built On The Red Sea, Engineered For The World

From Suez to the open sea — IMPERIS YACHTS designs, builds, and maintains vessels that carry Egyptian craftsmanship to international waters.

Who We Are

A Shipyard Built With Purpose

IMPERIS YACHTS was founded in 2000 with a straightforward ambition: to prove that a shipyard on the Egyptian coast could build vessels to the same standard the world's most demanding owners expect from Northern Europe or the Mediterranean. From our headquarters in Cairo and our shipyard on the Gulf of Suez, we design, build, and maintain yachts and marine vessels for private owners, commercial operators, and government clients alike.

Every hull that leaves our yard carries two commitments: naval-engineering precision and finishing detail that owners notice the moment they step aboard. We back that with in-house design, a dedicated refit and after-sales division, and IMPERIS Academy — our own training ground for the next generation of Egyptian marine engineers.

Why IMPERIS

The Parts You Never See, Built As Carefully As the Parts You Do

A yacht's owner notices the stitching on the salon upholstery long before they notice the welding inside the engine room — but at IMPERIS, both get the same attention. Our hulls are built and inspected to the same structural discipline as the commercial and naval vessels that share our shipyard, then finished by craftsmen who treat a teak deck or a hand-stitched helm chair as a signature, not a checklist item. It's a philosophy we hold to a simple idea: a vessel that's over-engineered where no one is looking is the one that still feels solid ten years from now. Every project — from a private motor yacht to a multi-vessel commercial order — passes through the same in-house pipeline: naval architecture, structural engineering, interior design, and a dedicated quality-control stage before sea trial.

Class-Society Standards

Structural engineering and welding inspected against international marine classification requirements at every stage of the build.

One In-House Team

Naval architects, engineers, and interior designers work under one roof, so nothing gets lost between design and dockside.

Refit & After-Sales

A dedicated maintenance and refit division keeps every IMPERIS vessel — and plenty of others — running long after delivery day.

IMPERIS Academy

Our own training program feeds the yard with Egyptian engineers who understand our standards before they ever pick up a tool.

Engineering & Performance

Hydrodynamic Hull Design

Hull forms are shaped and refined for efficiency and stability before a single plate is cut.

Structural Simulation

Load calculations and structural checks run digitally, long before fabrication begins.

Sea-Trial Validation

Every design decision is confirmed on the water, not just on paper.

Building The Engineers Who'll Build The Next Generation

IMPERIS Academy is our answer to a problem every serious shipyard eventually faces: skilled marine engineers are hard to find and harder to train on the job. Our program puts engineering students and working professionals through structured, hands-on training in naval systems, welding, and vessel maintenance — taught by the same team that builds our yachts. Graduates don't just learn the theory of shipbuilding; they learn ours.
