Yachts attending the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2025

For over three decades, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a> has been a prominent figure in luxury tender manufacturing. With a rich family heritage in the northern Dutch province of Friesland, the company has evolved from constructing modest lake boats to crafting substantial tenders and chase boats. Notably, American footballer Tom Brady was seen celebrating his 2021 Super Bowl victory aboard his <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a> 55. Combining a tradition of skilled boatbuilding with a commitment to innovation, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a> holds a unique position in the yacht industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/343301/image/large-c130fdf17b5d6a5141733e298bb67be4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/343301">“My father, Dorus Wajer, founded the company in 1992, and I took over in 2017, having been involved from a young age, when I experienced my first sea trial," explained Dries Wajer, Managing Director of the shipyard. "We have produced hundreds of boats, approximately four hundred of the larger models and three hundred of the smaller ones.”In 2021, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a> unveiled the first unit of the 23.5-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a> 77 series in Saint-Tropez. This yacht serves not only as a tender to superyachts but also as a capable chase boat. Traditionally, due to their size, chase boats have been too large to stow onboard and are instead towed or driven separately.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/343306/image/large-e4075c74e6dae86b636cf193033777ad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/343306">Discussing the latest trends, Dries Wajer observed, "There's a strong trend towards owning chase boats. Increasingly, clients are willing to compromise on tender storage space onboard the mothership, opting instead to enhance the yacht with a spacious beach area. They are seeking chase boats that are not only reliable but also aesthetically pleasing."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/343305/image/large-3a8b6f4f6246c31c9e4d49a38b4ac995.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/343305">Commenting on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a>’s primary market, Dries Wajer noted, “We have delivered only one <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a> 77 as a tender. However, the core of our tender market consists of models like the 38, 44, and the larger 55." He added, "<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a>’s boats are frequently towed over long distances, including Pacific crossings. They have also operated in extreme conditions, from the icy waters of Antarctica to Greenland. Our boats have truly been everywhere.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/343303/image/large-dc86f719c8a541769540e943b9703b20.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/343303">Approximately 30% of the boats we build are intended as superyacht tenders, and we've noticed a significant increase in this area," empathised Dries Wajer. "It's akin to a snowball effect, which aligns with our strategic focus on client satisfaction. Our owners often become our ambassadors, which is crucial for us. This strong relationship has been instrumental in fostering a high rate of repeat clients, with 50 to 60% returning each year.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/343311/image/large-e246a9fea097c86de75ef70fa46685f3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/343311"> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a>’s clientele is diverse, with approximately 30% of its clients being Dutch and 35% American. The remainder hail from various locations worldwide, including the UK and Germany.Elucidating the construction capacity of the 77-footer, Dries Wajer shared that the shipyard builds only seven to eight boats per year. This limited production results in a relatively long wait time for the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a> 77. However, for other models, the company maintains a delivery timeline of one year. "Our goal is to not exceed this timeframe," Dries stated, "as extending it further could lead to lost orders due to prolonged lead times."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/343312/image/large-11a0ddb682a86c4342c347f509399321.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/343312">Regarding future plans and development, when asked about expanding into the superyacht market, Dries Wajer was clear. "I never want to become a superyacht builder. It's a very challenging business," he remarked. "Our main focus will always remain on our existing boat models and that specific segment."This article was first published in Issue 51 of the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/superyacht-times" target="_blank">SuperYacht Times</a> <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper" target="_blank">Newspaper</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper/newspaper-issue-51" target="_blank">available for download here.</a>

Tender Spotlight: The latest superyacht tender innovations

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a> emerged in 1995 as a branch of the Zucco family's manufacturing company specialising in the production of high-pressure parts for watermakers. With a &nbsp;production facility on the outskirts of Milan, &nbsp;everything from the design to the final factory testing takes place in-house.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296154/image/large-d12b185c3ecbb1a4a93cd26f5049b415.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296154">One of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a>’ most recent innovations, the HP Part-Net interface, has transformed the way desalination plants are utilised on board yachts. Even before the introduction of Part-NET, its RP TRONIC pressure regulation system had propelled <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a> ahead in terms of user-friendliness. But watermakers were still hidden away inside technical spaces or engine rooms. Part-NET shattered this norm by bringing the watermaker onto the multifunction display (MFD), allowing captains to access all functionalities directly on any chartplotter or domotic system.<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/hp-high-pressure-srl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">HP Watermakers</a>' carries out its own research and development to stay at the cutting-edge of technological developments. As a small, nimble family company, it has the agility to swiftly respond to new challenges and ideas. With a technical team with decades of experience in the field, it can turn an idea into a final product within days by employing advanced machinery such as CNC laser-cutting machines, 5-axis turning and milling machines. By producing 85 per cent of the components in-house, HP Watermakers maintains a steady control over the manufacturing process to guarantee high quality.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296152/image/large-2b2ce1274db3599c941e6cc9668398d9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296152">“While the industry faces numerous challenges today, we’ve proactively tackled supply chain distribution by maintaining a substantial stock of materials for the production of hundreds of units,” says Gianna Zucco, co-founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a>. “The small-scale manufacturing setup requires a high level of stock to facilitate fast deliveries and prevent material shortages that could disrupt production and cash flow. To build a solid foundation for the company, our management has consistently reinvested its profits into securing a stable and sustainable supply chain.”Approximately 95 percent of production is destined for the yacht and superyacht industry, amounting to around 400 units per year and the company is among the few watermaker companies worldwide that manufacture a significant portion of their own components. Moreover, since 2019 it has helped pioneer the production of the only MFD-interfaced watermaker available on the market, garnering acclaim from end-users in the process. Recently, a new addition to its product lineup was revealed: the most compact 500 lt/h unit on the market. Built on the frame of a 120 lt/h unit, it consumes just 3KW/h.Looking ahead, the company anticipates significant developments in the sector as people spend longer stretches of time aboard their yachts, necessitating the autonomous generation of energy and water as basic necessities. “In this scenario, our strategic positioning as a supplier becomes crucial as we strive to guarantee the always-on production of fresh water on board,” says Zucco.Digitalisation has emerged as a vital component of the company’s operations. In 2017, it introduced its BiBi® system, enabling remote control of the unit via the internet. Over 200 yachts currently utilise this service, allowing HP service technicians to identify and prevent issues by remotely accessing the units. By diagnosing problems and dispatching the appropriate parts before the issue escalates, BiBi® has proven to be a powerful asset in ensuring problem-free cruising. Moreover, installing BiBi® comes with a four-year warranty.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296153/image/large-6c2bc856c2e49600b1e30e01de2ddfdd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296153">To ensure comprehensive service and support for the global fleet of yachts, the company operates four offices and stores worldwide, located in Fort Lauderdale, Dubai, Cape Town and Male. It has also established a sales and service network spanning 53 countries, which allows the team to swiftly address the needs of clientele across the globe.&nbsp;“As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a> continues to pioneer advancements in the water desalination sector, we are focused on pushing the boundaries of innovation,” concludes Zucco. “By leveraging cutting-edge technology, expanding our global presence and prioritising customer satisfaction, we are poised to shape the future of watermakers for the yachting industry.”&nbsp;Into to the detailsProducing more than 300 units per year, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4705" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="HP High Pressure SRL (Company)">HP Watermakers</a> had a turnover in 2022 of €3 million, with a prediction for 2023 to exceed this turnover.

Dutch yacht builder Wajer Yachts takes over Zaadnoordijk Yachtbuilders

The Dutch yacht building company Wajer Yachts has announced their takeover of Zaadnoordijk Yachtbuilders.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a> has been pushing forward innovations in the maritime industry since its foundation. While sustainability has been on the forefront of the industry's collective mind in recent years, few businesses are making more active strides toward a sustainable future than <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a>, who places it at the top of their priority list. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54629" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Behind the scenes with industry pioneer Van Oossanen Naval Architects (2022-02-22 14:00:00 +0100)">Earlier this year we sat down with Perry Van Oossanen to dive into the history of the company and specifically to discuss the Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF)</a> which has been improving the efficiency of superyachts since the launch of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Illusion65.0m (213'3&quot;)Heesen Yachts2013">Galactica Star</a> in 2012. Now Perry’s business partner Niels Moerke joined us to discuss more about how the business aims to create a blueprint for the future of the yachting and maritime industries.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/229218/image/large-c58171a37527d7d1804eaf4e32c66e64.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/229218">But why is the company so focused on sustainability? We posed this question to Perry and Niels and the response was unanimously ‘passion’. As Perry added, “We will always continue to develop and push toward more sustainable solutions for our industry, it is at the core of everything we do, truly within the DNA of this company.” For both of them the industry move toward sustainable solutions has been a long-time coming but while the industry has dragged its feet, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> team has been innovating.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/71071/image/large-7eafcdd5c022e6de682cf9adc65c52f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/71071">With 20% of the company's time invested into independent research and development, and all of the employees encouraged to follow their own threads of innovation, it is no surprise that the architects continue to be at the forefront of the sustainability conversation. Pioneering solutions such as the Hull Vane and FDHF are the result of their intense focus in R&amp;D and the company’s recent involvement in the Dutch government’s Project MENENS programme is yet another example of the commitment to future-proofing the industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/229109/image/large-3ed8fbf533d096f2b7f7100fd33e1ecc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/229109"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> became involved with the Project MENENS programme to further the Dutch government’s ambition to have 30 emission free vessels sailing by 2030. Focusing on the use of artificial intelligence and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> has been working to further optimise the FDHF form, “We are actually already able to achieve the 40 percent reduction in emissions through the application of the Fast Displacement Hull Form XL, which can be applied to both superyachts and commercial vessels.” The company's aim now is to have emission free yachts sailing by 2030 – they are already well on their way to achieving this goal.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/229107/image/large-954aa0beb27943e525c79925516a073e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/229107">While the government has committed to cover 40 percent of the costs of the research, the rest of the funding is being provided by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> themselves, a clear demonstration of the company’s commitment to the goal. We asked Niels why Van Oossanen was open to such a major financial commitment. “One of the very interesting things about this project is that there are partners involved working on the entire lifecycle of a vessel, from research to construction, meaning that there are build partners already involved. There are yachting industry shipyards, commercial shipbuilding companies, suppliers and even the Dutch Navy is part of the project. It is vital for us to be able to offer our clients the best possible options for their yachts and we must safeguard those clients interest for the long term, that is our aim.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/229199/image/large-3f4c1b09126ad046f92a051089e5b66e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/229199">Another major focus for the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> team over recent years has been the development of methanol as the future alternative fuel for the maritime industry. While much has been said in the media about hydrogen, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> and its partners believe that methanol holds the brightest prospect for zero emission propulsion as Niels commented, “methanol has been slightly overlooked in our industry and our aim is to create the technical platform that can be employed for methanol yachts and vessels. In addition, you can produce green methanol from the bi-product of other industries, such as grain, and that adds another cyclical layer into the fuel production-use cycle.”&nbsp;Both Niels and Perry recognise that the conversation around alternative fuel options, electric, hydrogen and methanol, all face limitations, namely the lack of infrastructure to produce and store the fuel ashore. However, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> has dedicated a huge commitment to the development of such systems so that when the infrastructure is in place, they will be ready to engineer vessels that can accommodate methanol and its systems.&nbsp;The company’s commitment to research and development with methanol is absolutely demonstrative of the wider commitment at Van Oossanen to innovate within the sustainability sphere. Dr. Ir. Peter van Oossanen founded the company to create the most efficient hull form, today that motivation has metastasized into an absolute drive toward efficiency for the purpose of sustainability. This is at the beating heart of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a>, and we can continue to expect the business to be at the forefront of future innovations in this sphere.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/229110/image/large-89cc1a46b3a9315694537fb50071ca2e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/229110"> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)"><sup style='box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 10.2px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;'>Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a><sup style='box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 10.2px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;'>&nbsp;was involved in the design of the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1484" href="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/news#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" style='box-sizing: inherit; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 52, 94); font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; user-select: auto; font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;' target="_blank" title="Wajer Yachts (Company)">Wajer</a><sup style='box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 10.2px; line-height: 0; position: relative; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;'>&nbsp;77 from A through to Z.
