About Goldfish
Goldfish Boat AS is a privately owned Norwegian yard founded by Pål Sollie in 1991, operating from Son on the western shore of the Oslo Fjord, approximately 50 km south of Oslo. Sollie came to boat-building through offshore racing - he placed second in the 1991 World Championship - and that pedigree shapes every hull the yard produces. The original ambition was handmade racing boats; today the range spans high-performance RIBs, centre-console sportsboats, and open cruisers from roughly 7.0m to 15.0m, covering the Tender, Sport, Bullet, Ocean, Open, and utility X series.
In the superyacht-adjacent market, roughly a third of Goldfish production targets the tender and chase-boat segment, where the RIB format gives owners a platform that works equally hard as a watersports tool, a crew runabout, and a high-speed passage boat. The Bullet line - running to the 46 Bullet and 49 Bullet - is the build we'd put alongside dedicated chase programmes: stepped multi-hull geometry, a choice of inboard or outboard drivelines, and performance figures that reach the high-double-digit knot range depending on engine specification. The Ocean series, typified by the 43 Ocean, trades some top speed for a more lounge-centric deck and offshore range. Hulls are glassfibre or carbon composite; the yard backs its laminate with a ten-year hull warranty. Goldfish's largest single client is the Royal Norwegian Navy, and that dual civilian-military build discipline keeps tolerances tight across the leisure and superyacht catalogue.

Chase Boats Explained: Sizes, Costs and Use Cases
A chase boat is an independent 8-20m vessel that travels with the mothership rather than inside it. This guide covers the size and cost bands, the use cases that justify one, and how to decide whether the brief needs a chase boat or a larger primary tender.
ReadThe Complete Guide to Buying a Superyacht Tender
Most tender purchases go wrong in the brief, not the build. This guide walks the buying process end to end, brief first, garage envelope second, propulsion third, yard shortlist fourth, contract fifth, the way we run it for owners.
ReadTender Insurance, Survey and Sea Trials
A tender purchase that closes without a clean survey, a bound insurance policy and a documented sea trial has three failure modes baked in. This guide walks the acquisition sequence we use, what good looks like at each step, and the recurring traps.
ReadLead Times and Delivery: Planning Your Tender Build
Tender lead times are the single most under-planned variable in superyacht projects. This guide sets out the six phases of delivery, the realistic 2026 timing, 14 to 30 months for a custom build, 6 to 14 weeks for stock, and how to plan it.
