At Van der Heijden Yachts, we build semi-custom and fully custom luxury yachts in aluminum and steel, engineered around the way you live on the water. Every yacht is built under our own management, with attention to safety, comfort and your requirements.

Custom-Built Promise

Your vision, our blueprint
At Van der Heijden Yachts, no two yachts are the same. Every build starts with the owner’s way of living, travelling and spending time on the water.

Layouts, materials, finishes, technical systems and performance profiles are developed in close collaboration with you. Whether you are looking for relaxed inland cruising, long-distance exploration, high-speed performance or large-scale luxury, our team translates your vision into a yacht that feels entirely your own.

Engineering
& Material

At Van der Heijden Yachts, craftsmanship is found in every detail. From the first engineering decisions to the final finish, every yacht is built with precision, care and a deep understanding of how materials perform on the water.

Our expertise in aluminum and steel construction allows us to match each yacht to its intended use. Whether the focus is strength, speed, long-range comfort, design freedom or relaxed cruising, the foundation is engineered around the owner’s ambitions. Combined with an optimised underwater hull, this also results in efficient fuel consumption and dependable behaviour at sea.

Every surface, system and structural detail is handled by our own craftsmen, combining proven techniques with years of experience.
