Decades of partnerships
with satisfied clients

The greatest complement to any shipyard is when clients are delighted with your work and recommend you to like-minded individuals who are also focused on achieving the right quality at the right price. While not all projects can be publicised in the luxury yacht world for owner-privacy reasons, below you can read about some of the partnerships we’ve enjoyed and the pride we take in their successful completion. Like every boat built, refitted or serviced with Amsterdam Yacht Builders, they remain part of the family.

Unfortunately, due to three extreme storms which were faced by the Netherlands in February this year, the tent broke and partially fell on Nageira.
