Motor Yachts

Established in 1990 as a yard that built traditional yachts, Holland Jachtbouw has emerged as one of the world’s most renowned shipyards for newly built superyachts and refits of yachts over 90 feet. Over the course of three decades, Holland Jachtbouw has built several award winning yachts including Athos, the largest two-mast schooner in history, as well as two unique J Class yachts Rainbow and Topaz.

Craftsmanship

Our newly built yachts and refits are carried out with the utmost precision, passion for detail and love for craftsmanship. Carefully-selected, high-quality materials are used by a team of highly skilled craftsmen in all aspects of yachtbuilding.

Master craftsmanship. Naturally selected elements, engineering precision and the latest technologies play their part to achieve the perfect result.

Founded in the early 1990s, Holland Jachtbouw will pursue to build its exceptional reputation from her brand-new facility with a large production capacity in Enkhuizen. Working with top naval architects worldwide, the build and project management teams continue to produce a world class product, using leading suppliers and subcontractors from the heart of the Dutch yachting industry.

Windrose of Amsterdam

When Chris Gongriep wanted to finish his 13-metre wooden barge under his own management in 1990, little did he know that the shipyard he founded for this purpose, De Hemmes , would be the start of a bright future as a world-renowned superyacht builder.

While customers continued to request well-known Lemsteraken , Chris’ ambition grew into building the ideal charter yacht. After years of extensive study, Sapphire was built in 1996, a classic 31-metre sailing yacht. This was the start for Holland Jachtbouw and the transition to aluminium sailing and motor yachts was made.

Holland Jachtbouw grew into a successful yard with an extensive delivery program for superyachts up to 130 feet. The portfolio of more than thirty prestigious classic and modern superyachts in various categories demonstrate the craftsmanship and unlimited possibilities of the yard.

Athos , Topaz and Rainbow are just a few examples of dreams becoming reality; each demonstrating the extreme precision, passion for detail and love of craftsmanship with which they are built. Only dedicated specialists with decades of experience can achieve the quality of finish in new construction as well as refits and restorations. It is this quality, expertise and love for the profession that attracted the international clientele to Holland Jachtbouw.

Chris passed away in 2016 and at the request of his heirs, VMG Yachtbuilders continues the Holland Jachtbouw legacy with great respect for its founder. Its legacy is a fitting addition to VMG’s portfolio, which is in the same segment up to about 90 feet. Holland Jachtbouw is therefore moving to Enkhuizen, the epicenter of traditional yacht building and where the love and passion for craftsmanship is passed on from generation to generation.

Like a Phoenix rising from its ashes, Holland Jachtbouw will build the next generation of future classics at its new state-of-the-art location.

Our comprehensive service and support to captain, crew and managing project teams, demonstrates our values: dedication to our projects as well as our customers. With local teams and technical support from different locations, we’re able to provide quick assistance worldwide, ensuring customers the highest level of comfort.

Henricus (Hein) Akerboom (1815-1897), by birth a ship's carpenter, is the founder of the family of shipbuilders. In 1860 he buys a small shipyard in Lisse for 2400 guilders. He builds wooden vlets, schouwen and rowing boats for the bulb-growers and farmers in the wide surroundings. He also performs the necessary maintenance for them. Henricus marries Grietje Kelder; together they have nine sons, six of whom grow up.

The shipyard in Boskoop specialises in 'the construction of luxury and other motor boats'. From this yard come beautiful notary boats, lemsteraken, photographers boats, doctors boats and prams and vletten for gardeners. Craftsmanship was a matter of course in the family; for several generations, the sons went directly from school to the yard.

This notary's boat, also called saloon boat, came from Johannes Akerboom's shipyard around 1900. The boat is characterised by its classic, half-submerged wooden superstructure with a lot of glass. These notary boats were built until the fifties of the 20th century for dignitaries, but also as pleasure craft. The smallest ones measure only six metres, the big ones twelve.

Overview of the shipyard at Hoge Morsweg in Oegstgeest (later Leiden). The old schoolhouse and headmaster's house are still there. The small farm on the right of the photo was demolished in the early 1990s to make way for a new office and machine factory for the shipyard.

In the fifties and sixties, Akerboom built vessels that were used in East and West Africa, Bangladesh and Papua New Guinea, among other places. The boats are often characterised by their shallow draught, which makes them suitable for rivers. The Bajibo, a 32-metre vessel, was delivered to the Nigerian government in 1973. The Bajibo transports government officials and marks the shipping lanes (buoyage) on the Niger and its tributaries.

The Calisto was delivered in 2006 by De Vries Scheepsbouw in Aalsmeer. AYE built and delivered a large number of parts of the ship. The deckhouse, consisting of three layers, was partly built at the yard in Leiden, partly by subcontractors. AYE also supplied the propeller shafts, the riviera gangway, the swim platform, the boarding platform and the tender store doors.

This Gallant Lady is the youngest in a "family" of eight vessels that all bear the same name. She was launched in late 2006. The exterior of this ship is a copy of the seventh Gallant Lady, which was delivered ten years earlier. The technology used is of course of this century and state of the art! Akerboom Yacht Equipment supplied the aluminum deckhouse, the propeller shafts, the riviera gangway, the transom door, the boat crane, the rudder installation and the swim ladder.

Akerboom Yacht Equipment Maintains a beautiful waterfront presence. Large products can still be transported via the water. In addition to 3 halls and a spacious parking area on the waterfront, an office building and 2 more production halls are also in full use on the Hoge Morsweg.

Akerboom Yacht Equipment delivered for the first time a special Heli Hangar. When at the front of the yacht the two flat hatches slide open powered, a strong elevator rises. The owner's helicopter can land on it. Then the helicopter can fold back the blades and be parked in the hangar with the elevator, after which the hatches are closed watertight again.

Akerboom Yacht Equipment opens an additional location near Leiden to cope with growth. At this location in Katwijk, Akerboom's professionals concentrate on aluminum welding of the doors, hatches and passerelles.

In the middle of the night, the fire alarm goes off and smoke billows out of the building. The fire department is quickly on the scene. They enter the building and are able to extinguish the fire, thus preventing it from spreading to adjacent Akerboom buildings and the residential area.

Feadship yachts continue to be used and new Feadship yachts with Akerboom Equipment are added all the time. To maintain the high quality level, service from the original manufacturer (the so-called OEM) is of added value. Around the Mediterranean and in Florida (USA) Akerboom is setting up a Global Service Network. Local presence of Akerboom ensures flexibility for the customer and sustainable solution with less flying of Akerboom's mechanics.
