Focus on Bespoke Custom Superyachts

Hakvoort focuses solely on bespoke fully custom and semi-custom yachts ranging from 40 to 65 meters, predominantly constructed with steel hulls and aluminum superstructures. These yachts are built for long-range cruising with a focus on durability and stability, utilizing displacement hulls that ensure smooth and efficient travel over long distances. While each vessel is tailored to the specific needs of the owner, Hakvoort has also built several semi-custom series, like its yacht support vessels, which provide added flexibility and storage capacity for larger superyachts. The shipyard’s emphasis on custom and semi-custom yachts allows clients to incorporate unique features and design elements, creating vessels that meet both aesthetic desires and functional requirements.
