Van den Hoven Jachtbouw

Semi-custom steel motor yachts from Waspik.

Van den Hoven Jachtbouw began in 1992, when Bart van den Hoven built a ten-metre motor yacht in his back garden. After building a number of boats, he turned his hobby into a business, and since 1999 the yard in Waspik has been operating professionally, with his wife Monique and daughter Michelle.

The yard produces semi-custom motor yachts in steel and aluminium, generally ranging from twelve to twenty-two metres in length, across three series. The Executive Series ranges from the 1500 MK2 to the 2400, the Voyager Series includes the 56, 61 and 71, amongst others, and the Elite Series comprises the 55 and the 55 Flybridge. A distinctive feature is the spacious layout in relation to the length.
