We contracted to build an Outer Reef 63 LRMY (Long Range Motor Yacht) in November of 2012. The boat was built in Taiwan by Tania Shipyard. Construction was completed on December 20, 2013. She arrived in the US on February 2, 2014. We took possession on February 10th even though commissioning, which took place on steroids, was not complete .
