LEKKER Boats

Hand-built aluminium boats from Amsterdam.

LEKKER Boats is an Amsterdam-based yard that hand-builds aluminium boats. The brand was founded by Meindert Wolfraad and deliberately focuses on its own design language, featuring a sleek, uncluttered hull and an interior geared more towards practicality than classic yacht aesthetics. Aluminium is the constant here, as it is lightweight and allows for great design freedom.

The yard builds the LEKKER 38, 45 and 60, as well as the smaller Damsko 750. The larger models are designed as fast day cruisers with sleeping accommodation, the Damsko as a compact tender for the canals of Amsterdam and open water. Each vessel is completed in consultation with the owner.
