The new Rotterdam yacht refit facility with 75 years of experience. 

Damen Maaskant in Stellendam, a 30-minute drive from Rotterdam Airport, has been a commercial ship repair & refit yard over 75 years. We specialise in high quality conversions and refits as well as new builds. Since 1948 we’ve delivered 280 fishing vessels, research ships and support boats. In 2020 we started yacht refits when owner reps and yacht captains started approaching us. They value our simple no-nonsense mentality. Every one of us feels a sense of responsibility and pride in what we do. We’re genuine shipbuilders and that makes us different.
