The Very Best of Dutch Yacht Builders

Dutch yacht builders have crafted a reputation as being among the world’s very best, with an extraordinary density of high quality, high value shipyards operating out of the Netherlands.

Part of the reason for the dominance of Dutch yacht builders in the superyacht industry stems from Holland’s prestigious history of boat building, which stretches back centuries and was perfectly poised to make the shift to constructing luxury yachts during the 20th century. The word ‘yacht’ originally comes from the Dutch word ‘jacht’, meaning hunt.

Some of the towering names of the yachting world have emerged from Holland, with the great heritage yards Amels, Hakvoort, Royal Huisman, De Vries and Royal Van Lent more recently joined by other outstanding Dutch yacht builders such as Heesen, Vitters, and Oceanco.

Dutch shipyards are heralded not only for their world-class build quality, high tech yards, and innovation, but are also renowned for reliability in finishing projects on time and on budget. With Dutch shipyards producing many fully-custom ‘one-off’ yachts, many of the yachts launched from Holland’s shipyards are extremely iconic and often win international awards.

Dutch yacht builders have also capitalized on their individual reputations for quality construction by forming strong collaborations including Feadship and HISWA, which serve to market the best of Dutch yachting internationally, thereby growing the influence of the Dutch yacht builders.

Notable Dutch Yacht Builders

This prestige brand is often known as the ‘Rolls Royce’ of yacht builders, constructing fully custom yachts from a ‘blank slate’ beginning. Feadship is actually a partnership between two of the greatest Dutch shipyards: De Vries and Royal Van Lent, with yacht building roots dating back to 1849. The Feadship fleet today is more than 450 strong, and includes some ground-breaking yachts including AQUARIUS and ECTASEA.

Founded in 1918 and boasting the largest and most high-tech shipyard in the Netherlands, Amels turned its hand to superyacht construction in the 1980’s. Amels builds fully custom yachts up to 656’ (200m), as well as their highly sought-after ‘Limited Edition Series’. Known for exceptional build quality and iconic yachts including HERE COMES THE SUN, Amels also builds a popular range of support yachts for superyachts through DAMEN, its parent company.

Royal Huisman

This family-run shipyard was founded in 1884, and has produced some of the finest sailing yachts afloat, with a long line of regatta honors and design awards across its fleet of maxi-yachts and performance cruisers. While its fame is recognized across the world for building sailing yachts such as ATHENA, Royal Huisman also builds motoryachts, including the award winning ARCADIA.

Hakvoort is another illustrious Dutch shipyard which dates back to 1919 and builds sailing and motoryachts up to 215’ (65m). With yachts constructed in steel and aluminum, Hakvoort offers a full-custom service from design to launch, as well as a 180’ (55m) semi-custom series. They have launched many notable, award-winning yachts, from LADY MARINA in 1994 to APOSTROPHE in 2013.

Founded in 1979, Heesen has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the yachting industry, and is now considered one of the most innovative Dutch yacht builders. Initially known as a builder of fast performance yachts, Heesen has expanded its yacht building capacity up to 260’ (80m) and has achieved notoriety for its revolutionary design and engineering, such as the Fast Displacement Hull Form first seen on multi-award-winning GALACTICA STAR.

One of the most respected names in sailing, the Vitters shipyard was founded in 1990 and has gone on to launch luxury sailing yachts known for winning superyacht regattas and international design awards. Constructing yachts over 30m with an uncompromising focus on quality and design, Vitters has received accolades for yachts including SARISSA, GANESHA and AQUIJO. Vitters also owns the Green Marine yard, which is responsible for building the Volvo Ocean Race fleet.

This Dutch yacht builder specializes in the large yacht market, constructing fully custom superyachts over 260’ (80m) in aluminum and steel. Oceanco opened its doors in 1990 and has been responsible for the launch of some of the industry’s most well-known yachts, including ALFA NERO, ANASTASIA and the largest Dutch yacht to be built thus far, the 360’ (110m) JUBILEE.

Located in the medieval Dutch town of Den Bosch, Moonen Shipyards is one of the world’s most well-known motoryacht builders. Having launched their first boat in 1963, Moonen pride themselves in quality and service and offer diverse options in the upper echelons of the yacht industry for fully customized superyachts up to 150’ (45m), custom series displacement yachts, explorer vessels or fast displacement all-aluminum powerboats.

Established as a family-owned shipyard in 1938, Mulder has become a renowned member of the Dutch yacht building family. The yards’ global reputation for quality has been built upon three main pillars: the classic Super Favorite Cruisers, the later Favorite Superior and a range of Mulder custom-built motor yachts from 42’ to 147’ (13m to 45m).

Van der Valk

A passionate yacht enthousiast, Wim van der Valk started the company that bears his name in 1967, and is still driving force behind it today. In applying the most advanced solutions, systems and materials possible, this pedigreed Dutch yacht builder believes in creating yachts that will stand the test of time. In the late 1990s, they introduced their signature product – the Continental I series. Today, to ensure unrivaled quality and exclusivity, Van Der Valk produces a select, limited number of Continental yachts each year.

Hartman Marine Group

Founded in 2003, Hartman Marine Group has roots which span back to 1775 with a heritage of seven generations of skipper-owners. Hartman yachts hold a timeless and fresh style without compromising practicality and superb comfort, in the true fashion of Dutch boatbuilding excellence. Leveraging on experience, innovation as well as tradition, Hartman applies their robust standards from the drawing table to the unique finishing touches in every custom build.

Worth Avenue Yachts have many yachts for sale in their fleet built by these renowned Dutch yacht builders, and are experts in the sale, construction and charter of Dutch yachts. Contact us to find out more about which Dutch yacht builder is right for you.

Dutch Yacht Builders News – Most iconic yachts built

Dutch Domination: Dutch Yacht Builders Continue to Excel

Dutch yacht builders are a dominant force in the luxury yachting industry, with a large number of premier shipyards building spectacular custom and semi-custom superyachts in the Netherlands.

Dutch boat builders have consolidated a rich maritime tradition of boat-building, making a seamless transition from centuries of naval and commercial ship-building to constructing some of the finest luxury yachts on the planet for an elite clientele. Holland’s shipyards have become known for constructing high-tech, ultra-engineered superyachts, with a strong streak of innovation earning Dutch-built yachts a string of international superyacht awards.

Working with some of the finest naval architects, interior designers and craftsmen on earth, Dutch yards have created a superb reputation for quality, as long-established shipyards such as Feadship, Hakvoort and Amels have been joined by the latest generation of cutting-edge yacht builders including Heesen and Oceanco.

In recent years, Dutch yacht builders have banded together to represent the country’s yacht-building experience at major international events such as the Monaco Yacht Show and FLIBS, where they have Dutch pavilions and launch their latest yachts and designs on their global debuts.

Below are some of the Dutch boat builders with a superb international reputation

Feadship is the partnership between two heritage Dutch shipyards, De Vries and Royal Van Lent, which have been building quality yachts since 1849. The Feadship superyacht fleet now numbers over 450, with a range of spectacular fully-custom yachts including the 50m M/Y BROADWATER for sale and the incredible 81m Mediterranean charter yacht, M/Y AIR.

Established in 1918, Amels is a powerhouse of Northern European yacht building, creating both custom and limited edition series superyachts, as well as an industry-leading range of DAMEN support yachts. Magnificent Amels yachts currently on the market include M/Y LA FAMILIA, a 55m black hulled superyacht with beach club and helipad, while charterers can enjoy the supremely popular 52m M/Y LADY NAG NAG .

Hakvoort is another richly pedigreed superyacht builder in Holland, with a history dating back to 1919. Constructing semi-custom and custom motor and sailing yachts, Hakvoort made its name in the superyacht world with iconic yachts such as the 50m M/Y Lady M II, which won awards upon launch and is available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean.

Heesen joined the Dutch yachting fraternity with a big splash in 1979, rapidly becoming known for its sleek and sporty custom-built superyachts. Gaining international acclaim for ground-breaking superyachts like M/Y GALACTICA STAR, Heesen yachts for sale include the magnificent 55m M/Y QUITE ESSENTIAL with pool and wellness spa, as well as the ultra-sophisticated 46m M/Y BOOKENDS.

Oceanco is a major force in the large yacht market, now building unique custom superyachts over 80m in length. The 75m M/Y WHEELS is a fantastic example of the Oceanco brand, with her seven decks of luxury living, including a split-level master suite with mezzanine and a cinema. Stunning Oceanco superyachts for charter include the gorgeous M/Y HELIOS, a 59m with an airy contemporary interior and glass-walled Jacuzzi.

Mulder is a family owned shipyard with roots stretching back to 1938, and builds exemplary custom and semi-custom motor yachts up to 45m in length. Yacht guests wishing to experience Mulder yachts can do no better than to charter M/Y SOLIS , a 34m two-decked superyacht with a light-filled modern interior and Jacuzzi.

Linssen yachts sponsors three charities and calls on customers to also do their bit for a nicer world..

At Linssen Yachts, we are not only celebrating our 75th anniversary as a leading name in the world of yacht building, but we are also taking this special occasion to give something back to the society and environment that has always inspired us. In our anniversary year, we are proud to support three great charities that all have a clear link to water, an element so central to our work and passion. We will donate €750 to each charity plus €25 per charity for each “75 Edition” yacht sold.

Water for Toubacouta: Water is not only the source of our existence, but also of livelihood and well-being for communities worldwide. This is why we enthusiastically sponsor Water for Toubacouta. Linssen and Linssen Boating Holidays partner Aqua Libra is the initiator of this organisation which works to ensure access to clean drinking water in remote areas of Toubacouta, Senegal. Our deep connection with water allows us to fully understand and appreciate the value of clean water, and we are determined to improve lives elsewhere by sharing this precious resource.

Payment link   Donate

Actie Pepernoot (Stichting Kinderhulp): Just as water unites us, the festive spirit of St Nicholas unites us all. Action Pepernoot, supported by the Children’s Aid Foundation, reaches out to give children from financially vulnerable families an unforgettable Sinterklaas experience. As a company committed to creating unforgettable moments on the water, we also want to contribute to the magic of Sinterklaas for children who need it most. And of course, every year Saint Nicholas navigates European waters to provide our children with fun presents.

Maas Cleanup: Our love of water goes hand in hand with our responsibility to protect it. That is why we are also a sponsor of Maasclean-up, an organisation dedicated to removing waste and pollution from the Maas River and its banks. Our anniversary year is an opportunity to strengthen our sustainability efforts and actively participate in preserving our beloved waterways.

THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF PERSONAL FREEDOM

Some names need no introduction. To anyone who ever genuinely considered acquiring a luxury super yacht, hearing the name “Royal Huisman” as the builder of those finest and most distinctive yachts in the regatta or marina will be a familiar experience.

When admiring the build quality and attention to design detail on a particular yacht, the reply from her owner or crew “It’s a Royal Huisman!” is virtually regarded as self-explanatory. Royal Huisman sailing and motoryachts are deemed unique in conception, quality and execution. Award-winning superyachts that are rare, beyond compare.

PASSION FOR PERFECTION

Today’s Royal Huisman is an extraordinary blend of twenty-first century technology and innovation, traditional craftsmanship and timeless values, yet in 1884 the original Huisman yard was established to build small wooden working boats.

IN VARIOUS AREAS

Over the years, the shipyard team developed many smart solutions, several of which became industry-trendsetters. Research and development re-shaped industry practices and has always been the backbone of the Royal Huisman’s success.

EXPERIENCING THE EXPERIENCE 

Sailing a Royal Huisman yacht is an experience like no other, and the ultimate expression of personal freedom. Whether you’re the one at the wheel – benefitting from its performance, handling and balance in demanding conditions – or the one delighting in its finish and comfort at an idyllic anchorage.

HUISFIT BY ROYAL HUISMAN

Every yacht requires a refit and refurbishment from time to time. Even Royal Huisman yachts eventually feel the strain of the extensive global passage-making so thoroughly enjoyed by their owners. Huisfit, Royal Huisman’s dedicated refit division, offers an extensive range of benefits and services to all superyachts in the global fleet.

THE SHIPYARD 

HOME TO THE WORLD’S FINEST SUPERYACHT BUILDING

Royal Huisman employs a team of over 350 highly motivated and competent people, from skilled craftsmen to expert concept designers, with extraordinarily diverse experience and capabilities, working at facilities for custom builds in Vollenhove.

OUR HERITAGE

Founded in 1884 Royal Huisman has evolved from “local builder of wooden workboats” to being the multiple award-winning creator of some of the finest superyachts in the world.

IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, WE CAN BUILD IT

It has been our motto for many years, but remains as valid now as it was then. Royal Huisman has the confidence and capability to build any yacht for you – from classic to contemporary to cutting edge, from motor yacht to Bermudan rig to full-rigged schooner.

The History of Holland Jachtbouw and Yachting

In the early 1990s, Holland Jachtbouw opened its doors. Utilizing traditional methods based around the shipbuilding heritage of the area of Zaandam, the shipyard began producing Dutch lemsteanken (flat-bottom boats). However, Holland Jachtbouw began producing boats that enticed the luxury yachting market — the first of these was the 16.5-meter VLIEGENT HEART, which was conceived by Hoek Design, a superyacht design firm. From there Holland Jachtbouw expanded its repertoire, building everything from luxury motor yachts to classic J-Class sailing yachts and beyond.

Buy a boat in Holland

The Dutch know about yacht building and yacht brokerage

Every year, hundreds of yachting enthusiasts from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland choose to build or buy a yacht in Holland, and they have very good reasons for doing so. The Dutch are renowned for offering outstanding design, superb technical quality and excellent service. The boats and yachts themselves are of a premium build quality and exceptionally easy to maintain. All this and more is available at very competitive prices.

Now is the perfect time to buy your next boat in Holland if you are English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish. Holland is nearby, they all speak English and business mentality is not so different from those of the British. Come to profit and cross the North Sea by plane, ferry or drive your own car through the Channel Tunnel and discover the ease of buying a boat in The Netherlands.

Experience in boats

The yachting sector is one of the main industries in this small country on the other side of the North Sea. Holland’s 16 million inhabitants own over 550,000 boats and yachts of all sizes, backed up by thriving watersport businesses. The 600 Dutch shipyards and yacht dealers and 200 yacht brokerage houses employ over 30,000 highly skilled and experienced staff who all speak English.

Largest super yacht builders

Despite Holland’s small size geographically, Dutch yacht builders hold the number one position on the world list of super yacht manufacturers in terms of value and the number two position in build figures. When it comes to the quality of the product, Holland is the undisputed leader in super yachts. Be assured that you will find the same quality in smaller sized boats and yachts. Buyers from around the world benefit from the unrivalled degree of professionalism and centuries of experience in the construction and trading of boats.

The pleasant side of a pre-owned boat from Holland

If you prefer a used boat or yacht, regardless if the boat brand originates in Holland or if it was build abroad, buying in Holland offers many benefits.

• So much choice The Dutch own about 550,000 boats, of which 200,000 are for serious cruising. 10-15% of these boats are for sale at any time. This boats for sale website is the only one with a large collection of Dutch boats targeted to British and Irish boat buyers.
• Well maintained The Dutch take pride in good boat maintenance and are used to invest every year, not only in the easily visible boat parts.
• Fresh water Most Dutch boats stay on fresh water, due to the many inland water ways in Holland where most harbors are. Fresh water is better for GRP hulls and boat paint and varnish than seawater.
• Stored ashore In winter, when the Dutch inland waters freeze, boats are stored dry ashore, often under a roof or even in a heated storage.
• Surprisingly low prices Due to the crises and the fact that there are so many used boats for sale, boat prices in Holland are generally lower than in England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland or other European countries. Most Dutch shipyards and yacht brokers sell over 50% of their offerings to foreigners!
• After sales boat service For both new built and used boats and yachts the service from a Dutch shipyard, boat dealer or yacht broker is excellent.
