History of Monte Fino Yachts
Monte Fino was started by Kha Shing Enterprise Co. Ltd in 1977 by three of the Gong brothers with financial support from shareholders Cheng, Ho, and Chuang. A year later, in 1978, Kha Shing delivered its first yacht to Seattle, WA. In 1980, they established in the US and started to offer yachts under the name Monte Fino. Since then, they have made it their mission to create high-quality customizable yachts.
