Our history
How the shipyard has developed over more than 55 years into what it is today.
A Super Lauwersmeer is not created on an assembly line. It is the result of specialised craftsmen who each strive for the highest attainable within their own discipline, whilst simultaneously working together on one yacht.
This allows us to keep refining during the process and make things even better where possible. And because you are regularly welcome at the shipyard, the people working on your yacht also know the story behind it. They are not just building a vessel. They are building yours.
In the hull construction hall, the physical build of your Super Lauwersmeer begins. From high-quality steel, our craftsmen create a solid foundation, with sturdy frames, generous material thicknesses and great attention to precise finishing.
Even what later disappears from sight must already be right here. After all, every subsequent craftsman builds upon this foundation. Thus precision in hull construction forms the basis for quality throughout the entire yacht.
After hull construction begins the labour-intensive process of preparation, filling, sanding and painting. With high-quality paint systems and above all much patience and craftsmanship, our yacht painters work towards an exceptionally smooth and deeply lustrous end result.
Every layer and every detail counts. Only when the craftsman is satisfied does the vessel move on to the next phase.
High-quality woods, solid mouldings, carefully selected veneers and the finest finishing techniques come together in an interior that radiates warmth and craftsmanship. Every joint, every profile and every surface is made with the precision and patience that distinguish handwork from mass production.
The complete technical installation is handled in-house with high-quality components and meticulous attention. From the electrical system and plumbing to heating, ventilation and navigation equipment: everything is professionally installed and neatly routed behind the panels.
Materials, fabrics and colours largely determine how a yacht feels. In our boutique at the shipyard we guide you through the choices, from leather and Alcantara to bespoke colour combinations. The upholstery is then carried out by our own specialists, who ensure every detail matches the whole.
Behind the craft stands a team that connects design, engineering, material procurement, planning and production. From the first sketch to the launch, the project managers ensure that all expertise comes together at the right moment and that your wishes are translated into the final result.
