Tartan Marine

Active: 1971 • Website

In the fall of 1960, Charlie Britton commissioned the renowned yacht design firm, Sparkman and Stephens to design the very first Tartan, the 27. The master Tartan 27 patterns and molds were produced during the fall and winter of 1960/61 and hull number one was completed and launched in the spring of 1961.

Tartan Marine was Founded by Charles Britton who bought out what was left of Douglass & McLeod Plastic Corporation when their factory was completely destroyed by fire in 1971.

2020 marks the 60th Anniversary of the inception of the Tartan brand. 2020 began with the acquisition of Tartan and Legacy by Marine Manufacturing Group LLC., a subsidiary of Seattle Northwest Yachts.

The company was purchased by Michael Reardon, Founder and CEO of Daedalus Yachts, in September 2025. Leadership teams, workforces, and dealer networks will be retained.
