A 2006 Cheoy Lee 72 Raised Pilothouse in Newport Beach, with a protected raised helm and a manageable size.
EASY is the practical, owner-friendly yacht in the portfolio, a 2006 72-foot Cheoy Lee Raised Pilothouse located in Newport Beach, California, with clear West Coast cruising context.
The raised-pilothouse format is the ownership argument: better visibility, a more protected helm, practical separation between navigation and living spaces, and a manageable size for buyers who want proper cruising comfort without superyacht-level complexity.
Cheoy Lee adds depth. The yard traces its shipbuilding roots to the 1870s, moved the family business to Hong Kong in 1936, diversified into teak sailing and motor yachts by the mid-1950s and became an early marine user of GRP and foam-sandwich construction, with current building at its Zhuhai facility. EASY reads as a sensible, credible West Coast yacht backed by a builder with real history.

The shipyard
FROM SHANGHAI TO THE PEARL RIVER
A builder that began with steamships in Shanghai and has launched more than 5,200 vessels since.
In 1977 Cheoy Lee launched Shango II, a 130-foot (39.62-metre) motorsailer and the largest moulded-fibreglass yacht of its time. It had taken early to GRP and foam-sandwich construction.
Cheoy Lee traces its origins to a Shanghai shipyard that opened in 1870 to build and repair steam-powered vessels, and has launched more than 5,200 vessels since. In 1936 the Lo family moved the business to Hong Kong, then a British colony. By the mid-1950s it was building teak sailing and motor yachts, mostly for export to America. In the 1960s pleasure craft made up 90 per cent of output, and the yard expanded to a new site at Penny's Bay.
Sailing yachts ended in 1990. In the late 1990s the Penny's Bay site was given up and later became Hong Kong Disneyland. Construction moved to the Hin Lee (Zhuhai) Shipyard on the Pearl River, while the head office and a small repair yard stayed in Kowloon. There the yard builds in steel, fibreglass, aluminium and combinations of the three, with onsite dormitories for up to 1,000 employees, and says it uses no significant China-sourced components. Since 2004 it has also built tugs designed by Robert Allan, launching 140 more units over the following 15 years. In 2021 it introduced an explorer series in four lengths: 107, 126, 130 and 132 feet.
Easy, our Cheoy Lee, is a 22.02-metre 72 Raised Pilothouse from 2006.
