The essence of boating is the pursuit of passion. As with all matters of the heart, this extraordinary pursuit is uniquely individual and forms the core of the J Craft DNA.
J Craft combines classic style and glamour with cutting-edge technology, power and contemporary convenience: a finely balanced blend of old and new, where form and function are of equal importance. Each J Craft Torpedo empowers the individual to live in the moment and experience pure boating pleasure.
J Craft embodies a love for life and an appreciation of the importance of following one's passions. Designed for discerning individuals, each J Craft is an extension of a distinctive lifestyle, where substance and style are uncompromised. J Craft was born from a passion for classic styling and boat building heritage.
The first J Craft, the Cabrio Cruiser "Polaris", was built for His Royal Highness, King Carl Gustaf XVI, in Gotland in 1999. Since then, innovation and experimentation have served to define each custom J Craft build.
In 2009, J Craft pushed the boundaries of motor cruiser hull design and introduced the 42-foot Torpedo, equipped with the cutting-edge Volvo Penta IPS pod drive system. Now in its 23rd year, J Craft continues to design and hand-craft exquisite bespoke cruisers that further the passion for the ultimate classic boating experience.
Royal Pedigree
J Craft is the proud builder of Polaris, the King of Sweden's choice of yachts. J Craft began as a company with a commission to build a yacht for His Royal Highness, King Carl Gustaf XVI.
The J Craft 'Polaris' was delivered in 1999 and remains in use today. Our relationship to the Swedish Royal Family has continued ever since and King Carl Gustav XVI is one of J Craft's greatest ambassadors.
