Abstract—Taiwan ranks as the 6^th largest producer of pleasure yachts worldwide and the first in Asia. More recently, there has been a growing demand for luxurious products due to increased income and spending. Taiwan’s superyacht industries have taken advantage of these trends to meet increasing demand. However, the recent event of the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the industry. The supply chain of the industry was effectively disrupted. This research was conducted to understand the pandemic’s effects and strategies sought to mitigate the same. Specifically, the research sought to review the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic on the supply chain of Taiwan’s pleasure yacht industry. Interestingly, demand increased significantly during this period. Taiwan has sought to foster its internal market and manufacturing capacity to reduce their vulnerability during the pandemic.
