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.

Covering an area of 1100 m2, the IJsselmeer is the biggest lake in Holland. What is special about the lake is that it used to be the Zuiderzee (South Sea) and was closed off by a man-made dyke, the Afsluitdijk. The IJsselmeer is used for transport and fishing but it is also popular for water sports. Š Steve Photography / Shutterstock.com

A boat with a mission. A boat without show.

And we never compromise on design & functionality. But when it comes to colour, the choice of 16 unique matte lacquers offers a lot more flexibility. Subdued and discreet but of the highest quality: Dutch Design in its truest form. This keeps the lines of communication short, the production process transparent, and we can build what we always build: top-quality boats.
