Centuries of craftsmanship

The Netherlands has a long tradition in yacht building and cargo vessels. You will find the best yards in the world in the Netherlands. The boatbuilding skills are passed on from generation to generation. West-Friesland, the area where VMG Yachtbuilders is firmly rooted, has been a centre for yacht building for many decades. Strong family traditions, the ambition to be the best in the trade and a powerful work ethos characterize the success of this region.

Reliability

Building a new boat, working on a refit or doing a routine maintenance project: boats will be boats and, inevitably, there will be bumps in the road.

You want a yard that is reliable, works on time, delivers what is promised and communicates promptly when things don’t go according to plan. We take pride in our reliability and work hard to involve you every step of the way.

yacht builder amsterdam

Flexibility

You have carefully considered your dream yacht, but when you see it taking shape before your eyes, things may look different than you envisioned it.

We understand that, in the course of the building stages, your ideas evolve which may lead to design changes. Our team will listen to your new plans and adjust the process accordingly.

Availability and capacity

You want the best craftsmen to work on your boat.

Pure custom creation

Feadship is one of an elite group of yacht builders that can truly be said to create custom superyachts. Custom means starting every project literally with a blank page. It entails designing a bespoke superyacht that is entirely individual and unlike any other in the world. We work with clients to create a one-off luxury motoryacht that exclusively and uniquely reflects their character and use.

Feadship carte blanche portrait

Starting from a blank sheet

Our design philosophy is simple: start from a blank sheet and the assumption that everything is possible. We are here to make your vision reality. We work with you, but you lead. A process that many of our clients find almost as rewarding as the moment they finally see the yacht they have created standing before them on the quayside.

The Very Best of Dutch Yacht Builders

OCEANCO YACHTS

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

Dutch yacht builders Feadship yacht ANNA

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.

Dutch yacht builders Heesen yacht QUINTA ESSENTIA

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.

Dutch yacht builders Vitters yacht HOEK DESIGN MARIE

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.

Dutch yacht builders Oceanco yacht WELLESLEY

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.

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).

Electric dreams: How Amsterdam Yacht Builders could supercharge the industry

By Georgia Tindale

yacht builder amsterdam

A vision of a more eco-friendly future for yachting.

What do you get when you combine a prime location with deep technical expertise, a historic shipyard dating back to 1921 and currently the largest travel lift in the Netherlands (480 tonnes). The answer: Amsterdam Yacht Builders. A fresh entry to the superyacht scene which came into being in January this year, Amsterdam Yacht Builders offers the whole gamut of services, from refit to maintenance, new build and more, bolstered by a management team of industry experts.

But how do you make a name for yourself when entering the densely populated Dutch yacht-building market? Here, we speak to director Robert Binnekade to find out how AYB’s recent full-electric workboat project offers a vision of a more eco-friendly future for yachting.

Experts in-house One of the key elements of Amsterdam Yacht Builders’ operation is ensuring that its team is clued up about all of the facets of yacht building. Crucially, this enables them to work closely with the wealth of shipbuilding experts in the Amsterdam area.

As Binnekade explains: ‘What we want to do differently from our competitors is having at least one person in the company that has the expertise for every subset of skills you need to build a ship.’

He continues: ‘They can verify everything to ensure we design the right engine and generators and order the correct components from subcontractors – we get it right the first time, and don’t end up ‘Lego blocking’ a yacht together. This ensures the yacht is made to the best possible specifications.’

Electric: fully charged AYB has already proven its technological mettle through its recent full-electric workboat project with an Amsterdam-based non-profit organisation, in which they converted the company’s diesel-powered waterway cleaning vessels into electric powered boats.

Measuring 13 metres and with a top speed of 15.5 knots, these are the world’s first-ever fully electric push boats, with a DC to DC fast charging capability of 30 minutes or less to get back to full power. ‘Think Tesla supercharger, then add a bit more,’ says Binnekade.

Sizing it up But could this technology be harnessed for a larger size? Binnekade thinks so. `We can fully customise an electric or a hybrid powertrain in any yacht. We envision a world in which we use the mother vessel’s batteries to fast charge tenders, dinghies and other craft. As well as silent drive, owners can have the comfort of tenders not powered by gasoline or diesel. This is a unique selling point for us.’

This eco-friendly offering extends well beyond the powertrain. ‘We don’t just look at the powertrain of a yacht, we can add in all the air conditioning and hot water units because everything is an energy source or energy storage. You can combine the batteries with these systems and you don’t quite have a zero-emissions ship, but you have a very energy efficient ship.”

Then there is the question of cost, with this technology potentially making the powertrain 60-70% more expensive. However, as Binnekade highlights: ‘Making a cutting-edge yacht is never a cheap proposition. If you look at it from a whole system perspective, you can get some gains in terms of total power usage – and diesel prices are going up. In the near future it will get to a point where it is comparable.’

  Green giants With AYB currently capable of building new-build yachts up to 50 metres, Binnekade hints towards larger future possibilities. ‘With some investments, we could go bigger, as our travel lift can lift much larger than that.’

On the new build side, things are looking promising, although it’s still early days for AYB (and there’s been the matter of the global pandemic to contend with), as Binnekade explains: “So far, we’ve had three real expressions of interest in new builds, and we have made some offers. We are just waiting for somebody to sign their name on the line.”

In the meantime, AYB will focus on building its reputation through refit and service work, including for the three-time shipyard visitor, the 28-metre Hakvoort sailing yacht Mandarine, as well as the 35-metre Claassen F-Class Firefly, and many more.

With all of this technical know-how in its arsenal, all that remains is to keep an eye on the sheds at Zaandam to see what innovative projects emerge from Amsterdam Yacht Builders in the coming years.
