De Vries first opened the doors of the yard in Aalsmeer in 1906 and today is solely dedicated to custom-built superyachts. Client wishes are at the forefront of the process and the experienced after sales department ensure this relationship continues long after delivery. Some 375 highly skilled craftsmen launch an average of three superyachts per year, each up to 100m in length. The yard in Makkum was added to the company in 2005. The workforce grew from 70 to 250 people over the years. Accommodating builds of up to 120-metres in length, the yard also oversees refits and Feadship maintenance. In house disciplines at both yards include steel, aluminum, interior and exterior joinery, mechanical engineering and paintwork. Next to the two outfitting yards, the De Vries Group includes various subsidiaries with locations all over the Netherlands. Feadship Feadship is widely recognised as the world leader in custom-built superyachts. Based in the Netherlands with roots dating back to 1849, Feadship is defined by unparalleled craftsmanship, setting the standard in every aspect of design, engineering and construction. Each bespoke superyacht is created in partnership with an owner who invests in a uniquely rewarding build experience.
