Luxury yachts for Africa! Jacobs Bros Boat Builders builds adventure-ready aluminium yachts

The Money Show's Bruce Whitfield interviews Taariq Jacobs, Estimator at Jacobs Bros Boat Builders.

Listen below.

Based in Cape Town, Jacobs Bros has garnered a distinguished reputation for crafting premium, tailor-made leisure and expedition aluminium yachts of exceptional quality.

Over more than three decades, Jacobs Bros has meticulously constructed over 20 yachts, embarking on adventurous journeys spanning the Amazon River, Polynesia, the South Atlantic, Antarctica, the Arctic, and global circumnavigation.

While some may perceive aluminium as old-fashioned, Jacobs highlights its significance for a select group seeking to explore beyond regular cruising destinations like the Caribbean.

For these adventurous souls, a purpose-driven vessel is paramount.

Aluminium offers superior impact resistance and additional features engineered to ensure safe grounding.

However, unlike fibreglass counterparts, which typically require four to six months for production, their custom yachts need a meticulous two-year crafting process.

So, if you aspire to set sail by 2026, now is the time to secure your order.

"It's definitely a labour of love."
