CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS Despite having RenĂŠ onboard, we recognise that our yard cannot expect overnight success with a new concept. We have therefore identified three critical success requirements during the development phase: 1. The end result must be a genuine
Van den Hoven yacht, with all the features
our clients have come to expect from us,
such as a smart layout, Dutch quality & level
of finishing, comfortable handling, and
customisation options that meet all the
demands of discerning owners.
2. From the very beginning, we must ensure that
we have high-level knowledge and experience
in-house for the development and construction
of fast aluminium yachts.
3. Part of the success of Van den Hoven can be
attributed to the competitive pricing of our
vessels. During the development and
construction of the new fast motoryacht model,
efficient building techniques and cost control
should again result in a starting price that is
very competitive in the market.

Comfort, both at anchor and underway, is much more than a question of a nice settee. It is an all-embracing sense of well-being determined by many factors. This includes a smooth walk flow, which we only feel when a layout is practical and steps are well-balanced, as well as properly thoughtout ergonomics, high-quality materials, properly positioned furniture, few noticeable vibrations, limited noise, and a solid, safe feel in all conditions. Comfort also means knowing you can trust the yard for assistance whenever necessary, or the reassuring confidence that your vessel will always retain a great deal of its value.

FIFTEEN-METRE MODELAs there is growing demand for 15-metre yachts as well, we have already developed a first draft for such a model. In practice, this vessel will be available in versions with and without a flybridge. We will publish more information about this yacht at a later stage.
