Superyacht shipyard

It was in 1918 that Kees Amels established a family boat building business in the north of the Netherlands. So in 2018, Amels celebrated its centennial milestone.

Twelve metal workers paying a contribution of ten cents a week, a rented plot just north of Amsterdam with a self-built shed made from used corrugated steel, a portable forge and a welding machine.

The Balk family business opened its doors in 1798, building wooden vessels on a small slipway in Elburg. Seven generations later, the company has evolved into a leading yard for refits and rebuilt of luxury superyachts.

Claasen Shipyards is known for the premium yachts the company both develops and builds. Each yacht is a showpiece in which the tastes and preferences of the customer are incorporated in much detail.

Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam specializes in repair, maintenance, refit and conversion of vessels. The company pays special attention to personal service, on-time project completion within the agreed budget.

From 2019 Feadship has a brand new shipyard in the Port of Amsterdam. The yard is the company’s second site for the completion of luxury superyachts with lengths up to 160 meters.

A century of shipbuilding experience, traditional values of craftsmanship, the latest technologies and the finest equipment and fittings. These are the ingredients that make a Hakvoort yacht so special.

Founded in 1978 by Frans Heesen, Heesen Yachts has been designing and building luxury yachts for more than forty years with an exceptional level of engineering and attention to detail.

Throughout history, Moonen has always set the standard for sophistication, quality and unparalleled luxury. The result is a truly unique yacht experience that gives pride of ownership a new meaning.

Established in 1938, Mulder Shipyard - traditional family business - has built motor yachts for over 75 years and has a worldwide reputation of undisputed quality based on Dutch craftsmanship.
