The origins of the word ‘yacht’ Due to its relationship with water, shipbuilding has played a major role in the Dutch economy for centuries. In the Golden Age of the 1600 and 1700s, Holland’s large fleet of wooden ships dominated the oceans. It was at this time that wealthy residents started having their own ‘jacht’ built – the Dutch word for pleasure boat from which the international term ‘yacht’ is derived.

Yachting literally and metaphorically had its origin in the Netherlands.

New: Elegance 1500 - Center Sleeper

Built for strength, performance and range, the Korvet 14 CLR is a lean and mean machine designed for nononsense offshore cruising. Built in aluminum under CE-A category this Dutch design yacht has all the qualities of a pocket sized exploration vessel.

Her innovative hull design allows for higher cruising speeds than traditional displacement yachts are capable of.

a boost to all the qualities on which Steeler Yachts focuses: fuel consumption, spaciousness, comfort and seaworthiness.

Fuel consumption The steep bow, with the spray rail placed well above the waterline, reduces the bow wake to virtually zero at all speeds. The significant decrease leads to a further reduction in fuel consumption, as well as to substantially less spray.

Space and comfort space in the foreship. In the S-line range, this translates into comfortable indoor areas, especially NG50S

for sleeping. The high position of the spray rail eliminates the usual noise of waves, eliminating a nuisance that commonly affects forward cabins.

Seaworthiness The high flare of the bow protects against water flooding the foredeck in rough seas. The combination of a steep yet flared bow allows for a whole new level of safe, efficient and comfortable cruising.

With more than 60 boats delivered in the last decade, Menken Maritiems Newport Bass has proven to be one of the most distinctive cabin cruisers in the market.

The Newport Bass is custom build to your requirements. With various deck layouts and many interior options each Newport Bass is designed to create an unique yachting experience.

Visit our website for the full specifications.

Or better: visit our yard in the Central Western part of Holland to see what “Cruising on Character� stands for.
