Montefeltro Yachts was founded by Thomas Maher, through his MFC Investments company. The company manufactured luxury yachts of lengths in excess of 65 ft and custom orders.

History

Founded on November 30, 2006, the company's creation was primarily driven by Maher's life-time macronational experience with yachts and power boating, as well as his extensive experience in ship-wrighting and boat maintenance. The company was dissolved on April 22, 2007, when Gotzborg entered hiatus.

Operations

Schematic of the Montefeltro Ganden Shipyard

All operations and ship assembly occurred at the Montefeltro Ganden Shipyard in Ganden, Courland. The shipyard was equipped with three docks and two slipways, making it the largest privately-held shipyard within Gotzborg.

The company explored the possibility of constructing a recreational marina near the Ganden fishing harbour for use by its clients; however, the hiatus caused the company's dissolution before that plan was further actioned. In the intervening period, clients were permitted to dock their yachts at the shipyard.

Renderings of yachts were prepared according to the Gotzborg Royal Navy Standard for Ship Renderings.
