Classic yacht restoration is a niche within the already niche refit market, and one which we are proud to lead the way. They say boatbuilding is in the blood of the Dutch and that echoes down the generations. While we can strip your yacht down to the bare bones and offer a complete rebuild, the greatest pleasure comes surely from overhauling the original equipment and retaining the old-timer glory of your vessel. All while offering a transparent way of working where you can be sure there’ll be no hidden surprises. The low overheads, flat organisation and open lines of communication at Amsterdam Yacht Builders come into its own in a classic yacht restoration: instead of worrying about costs spiralling after a project starts, we’ll provide a crystal-clear breakdown of expenses.

These kind of restoration projects demand knowledge of then and now. Our specialists are familiar with everything from decontamination, chromium 6 and asbestos to age-old maritime constructions such as overlapping steel plates and greased shaft seals. As parts of the yacht are restored, we can upgrade where necessary, leveraging on our technical prowess to make things better than new while retaining that classic look & feel. From hammer & chisel and caulking irons to 3D printing and laser cutting, we appreciate the fine line between utilising old techniques and incorporating the latest tech. You can rely on Amsterdam Yacht Builders to keep the balance right, including when it comes to meeting the latest regulations.
