With a 60-year heritage of aluminium craftsmanship, extensive experience, and proven engineering skills, Bayards has built a strong reputation in luxury yacht construction. We specialize in building aluminium superyacht and sailboat hulls, superstructures, and complete cascos, as well as refits.
Utilizing the unique properties of aluminium, we consistently create structures that blend aesthetics with engineering precision. Our skills and expertise are why Europe’s leading superyacht manufacturers entrust us with crafting structures for their most discerning clients.
For over 60 years, Bayards has continuously invested in our state-of-the-art, fully aluminium- dedicated machine park. As a result, we are proud to have one of the few Friction Stir Welding machines in the Benelux, along with two large five-axial milling machines, an extra-large three-axial Portatec, and welding robots.
We have also distilled decades of craftsmanship and engineering creativity into an extensive library of extrusions. This combination of high-tech machinery and a versatile extrusion arsenal enables Bayards Yacht Structures to achieve dimensional perfection and create structures that weigh significantly less than traditionally welded sections.
Partnering with Bayards allows you to optimize your building process in every phase:
- Our experienced co-engineering team anticipates and prevents problems before they arise.
- With three production facilities on the main waterways in the south of Holland, we ensure very short communication lines between engineering and production.
- Our state-of-the-art machine park speeds up production and minimizes deformation compared to manual hot-welding.
- Less deformation translates directly to fewer man-hours needed for fairing.
- Lower weight results in better performance, higher efficiency, and more usable space once the yacht is delivered to its owner.
