Milan-based studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a> has unveiled Project Velor, a 75-metre superyacht concept that “places the quality of the human experience at the heart of its design.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363577/image/large-3362695915409eb2f1e0f51b797e0208.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363577">According to the studio, Project&nbsp;Velor embodies a forward-thinking approach to spatial architecture and life at sea. Despite having only four decks, she offers the comfort and versatility of a five-deck vessel, thanks to a layout that optimises volume and circulation while balancing form and function. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363585/image/large-b2cf9d28c6917c27dfbd4a2ff7aee088.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363585">At a volume of 1,700 GT, the design features expansive open decks, see-through platforms and grand architectural staircases that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. These elements highlight the concept’s visual openness, allowing light and wind to flow freely and reinforcing a strong connection to the sea. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363628/image/large-f2454d2ec5f390724ae6704fd2f59f25.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363628">Project Velor’s exterior identity is marked by soft curves and crisp lines. Inside, her interiors are accentuated by a warm palette of natural teak and a thoughtful mix of geometric and organic forms. The vessel’s interiors are adaptable to all weather conditions throughout the day. From sea-facing areas to communal space and quiet hideaways, each space is carefully crafted with purpose.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363583/image/large-e9065f258380ef2fb8fad91cb363d55a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363583">“One of the defining qualities of Project Velor is its flexibility,” commented Guido Valtorta, Director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a>. “Every element of the design is intended to suit the many ways owners use their yachts - whether for family time, entertaining or quiet escape.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363581/image/large-d1dd9be664b37adf4d80835b978075f6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363581">At the core of the design’s spatial innovation is a single-tier engine room, developed in collaboration with naval architect Francesco Rogantin of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5926" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Name Studio (Company)">Studio Names</a>. By relocating it to the under-lower deck, the yacht achieves a more spacious and efficient internal layout. <img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/363586/image/large-1e0edda5d7c1e8a28a187d60344e20c6.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20250618%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20250618T130044Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=93ebd43b17721eeb243f4d55918673b69cfe0c3f58783a79e55344b3a95546e6" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363586">“It is about eight years we work on this technical solution and the result, on this project, is a multi-functional lounge suited for yoga, wellness, social gatherings, or peaceful solitude - all with uninterrupted views of the sea,” explained Martino Majno, Director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a>.&nbsp;One of the yacht’s distinctive flexible spaces is its open-air beach club or “water patio,” a bold alternative to traditional enclosed lounges or stepped terraces. Positioned aft on the lower deck, this area offers a refined entry point for guests arriving from the sea. Folding hull platforms on either side provide direct access to a multi-purpose space that can be fully open or enclosed, thanks to sliding glass panels that disappear from view when retracted. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363579/image/large-7a034ab1c0fe8590124a254b89487ac3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363579">Moreover, the aft platforms are outfitted with decks that appear to dissolve at their edges. This effect is enhanced by the slatted “brise-soleil” overhang system which casts shifting shadows and adds a sense of depth. The water patio transitions naturally into a dedicated spa and wellness zone, gently guiding guests toward the quiet sanctuary of the stateroom area. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363629/image/large-ebe366374b222879a26eec020c231725.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363629">Further examples of the yacht’s flexibility include the forward upper deck and the sundeck. These areas can serve as either private owner retreats or shared social zones. The sundeck is a multifunctional, convertible space design. It features a kid’s nest that can transform to suit different activities, from relaxing in the pool and lounging on cushions to peaceful stargazing under the night sky. &nbsp;In terms of performance, Project Velor is powered by a flexible diesel-electric propulsion system, comprising four generators, two rated at 1,000 kilowatts and two at 500 kilowatts. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363584/image/large-34991b148d0f6c6947a9721210b5baaa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363584">“At its core, this project is the manifesto of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta’s</a> calligraphy and of its application on a megayacht, incorporating several aspects of its design vision and identity: from the seamless inside-outside connection to the immersive blend with the natural environment achieved through a thoughtful use of clean, horizontal lines; from the meticulous attention to detail to &nbsp;the harmonious balance of forms, volumes and stylistic elements,” concluded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a>. &nbsp;&nbsp;“Essential and pleasant, Mediterranean in spirit, unexpected and transformable, this project fuses elegance with innovation, privacy with openness, and luxury with practicality.” &nbsp;

This solid foundation allows designers to fully explore their creative vision while ensuring the concept can realistically be built.Aether takes its name from ancient Greek mythology, referring to the clear upper air the gods breathed. According to Ira Petromanolaki, the concept is rooted in the ethereal, aiming to evoke a sense of purity, balance and harmony both visually and experientially.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363104/image/large-21c2ad15181896ca978abc72f089afdc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363104">Geometry plays a central role in the design narrative. Inspired by the triangle as a symbol of equilibrium, Aether’s lines converge toward a notional vanishing point beyond the visible plane, suggesting infinite continuity. “We are referring to the concept of convergence in a fictional or imaginary space, as happens in more advanced geometry,” added Petromanolaki. “The lines seem to meet at a point that is impossible to see or pinpoint in our common plane, in the Aether.”The result is a sleek, sculptural form with flowing lines and a strong sense of motion. The yacht has been envisioned for owners who value exploration, elegance and timeless luxury. Aether is designed to be a personal sanctuary at sea for entertaining, unwinding, or connecting with nature.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363105/image/large-a9e0c33e92fa075fd9501e81abe5430a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363105">“We craft an experience,” explained Petromanolaki. “A personal sanctuary on water that reflects the owner’s essence, allowing them to truly call it home.” This owner-centric philosophy lies at the core of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2679" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IP.YD (Company)">IPYD</a>’s design process, with an emphasis on collaboration and emotional connection. Every element, from layout to materials, is selected to support the owner’s lifestyle and enhance their onboard journey.While Aether remains a concept, its foundation on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>’s Simply Custom technical platform ensures the design is ready to be built.

Throughout the interiors, several nooks can be found for calming solitude, while seating areas provide an avenue for socialising between guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360931/image/large-51486984a56cf757e475717cb31bf14d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360931">Furthermore, the indoors and outdoors are synthesised via the presence of expansive windows. Materials onboard include textured fabrics by Dedar, which are complemented by high-gloss finishes and Calacatta Gold and Dark Emperador marble in the guest ensuite bathrooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360932/image/large-19786654efb9041f1ec5cf196cc41e9f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360932">With functionality in mind, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a> chose to increase the number of coveted storage units across all levels of the vessel. This is demonstrated in the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/145" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Burger Boat Company (Company)">Burger</a> 180 yacht’s main saloon, where are both large picture windows and side cabinets for serviceware and essentials.&nbsp;As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a> Co-Creative Director Bart M.

The stateroom also offers far-reaching outdoor vistas, customisable artworks, objets d’art and dark American walnut joinery.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360925/image/large-72d666e81f9c595afe5ea2972ac6ca40.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360925">In addition, the set layout is paired by loose furniture provided by, among others, Poltrona Frau with Archibald armchairs and desk chairs in the guest staterooms. Meanwhile, a Poliform Westside coffee table is located in the main saloon. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/145" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Burger Boat Company (Company)">Burger</a> 180 yacht’s interiors also benefit from organic shades of brown, beige, cream and taupe for a touch of elegance. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360924/image/large-579c0e01e69ab78e072938c929598cb3.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360924">Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/63100" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="First look at the interiors of the second 55m in-build Burger 180 superyacht (2025-04-15 14:30:00 +0200)">First look at the interiors of the second 55m in-build Burger 180 superyacht</a>“A typical <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/145" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Burger Boat Company (Company)">Burger</a> owner seeks a custom-built vessel for personal use and enjoyment that is both practical, comfortable, and caters to their specific desires,” concluded Bouwhuis. “For us, the real measure of a successful interior design concept is one that brings tangible value to the owner from the moment they step on board, from the initial look and feel, down to the build quality, lighting plan and available storage. That’s the real marker of good taste.”

Tony Castro Yacht Design unveils 62m performance sailing yacht concept

The details and renderings of Edge, a 50-metre motor yacht concept developed in collaboration by young designers Marco Belvedere, Giacomo Giorgetti and Fabio Peduzzi (FPYD), have been released. According to FPYD, Edge is defined by her “fluid, asymmetric layout inspired by the flow of wind and water, which challenges the conventional way of living the yacht.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359151/image/large-bdd7a7f43e2b48d34f8681a2335d9b76.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359151">“We began with a simple yet powerful idea: if the hull is shaped by the water, why shouldn’t the wind sculpt the superstructures? This concept led us to explore new ways of living and experiencing a yacht,” Fabio Peduzzi continued. “The wind thus becomes a central and generative force, informing not only the formal language of the design but also the creation of evocative, fluid spaces. These environments offer multiple levels of sensory engagement, inspired by the natural processes of erosion and transformation.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359153/image/large-b7525474920b1de92d0dc60f4a1dd0f8.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359153"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359144/image/large-9037b50abfbb9a8ec65ea4f42b03f094.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359144">As well as drawing inspiration from the flow of wind and water, Edge’s name refers to her integration between the indoors and outdoors. A standout amidships beach area is complete with fold-down bulwarks or terraces for enhanced immersion with the surrounding maritime environment. In addition, the inclusion of an internal half-deck paves the way for a double-height effect, amounting to over four-metres of vertical volume in Edge’s main saloon.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359146/image/large-feb5e8eec83c195a6aeaa6087d047c32.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359146">At the forefront of Edge’s design is a reimagining of a classic “deck”. As opposed to displaying traditionally divided levels, such as a main, upper and sundeck, the yacht is organised into different zones that revolve around the compass rose at her centre. This consists of a north, east, south and west deck, making for a sense of fluidity throughout the living space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359147/image/large-7c1f2de0882e29cae3e8ecaf73e0293d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359147">At the uppermost level is the sky deck, which offers multiple purposes, such as a touch-and-go helipad. On the west deck, an alfresco dining area flanked by sea views can be found. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359149/image/large-17fb681b95d9c185fdfc1d217f986dd3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359149">Sporting what her designer calls a “deliberate asymmetry”, Edge has a transversal and rebalanced composition instead of a typical vertical division, wherein each unique area allows for a different relationship with the surrounding environment and between those onboard. a truly unique character, generating entirely new spaces. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359150/image/large-0c0d0ec9e4b71f87f02c6eda905b06bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359150">At an estimated volume of 495 GT, the superyacht is capable of hosting as many as 12 guests across a six stateroom layout, comprising an owner’s suite, a VIP suite and four guest staterooms, all of which are located on the lower deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359148/image/large-6d24ca00afd74b6c11e77338a2f70097.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359148"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359152/image/large-acfa045bd7afbbd260ca970aef9160b0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359152">Where her propulsion is concerned, Edge is powered by a hybrid propulsion system using <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> IPS 40 units, reaching a cruising speed of 16 knots and a top speed of 18 knots.

Turkish shipbuilding continues to command increasing global recognition for its artisanal craftsmanship, yet few shipyards have propelled the nation’s reputation forward with the same conviction as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin Yachts</a>.

At the heart of this momentum is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin</a>, fast becoming one of the most prolific builders of 50-metre-plus yachts globally.The shipyard operates across five purpose-built facilities that span more than 79,450 square metres, including a dedicated marine furniture factory, metal works department, and a custom outfitting space in Antalya. The yard's facility in Yalova has the capacity to construct yachts up to 120-metres and reflects the company's future capability. At this time the 86-metre Bilgin 282 is under construction at the facility and features enhanced design elements, such as increased glazing on the forward bulwarks and significantly larger windows throughout, bringing more natural light into the interior spaces. At 2,200 GT, she is approximately 40% larger than the 80-metre series and represents a major step forward in both volume and design sophistication. The flagship superyacht is due for delivery in 2028 and is a testament to Bilgin's capacity to construct large scale superyacht projects.This infrastructure ensures full control over the build process and supports an in-house team of over 900 highly skilled craftsmen, alongside a trusted network of collaborators.

Francesca Webster sits down with Hans Webbink, founder and CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>, in this exclusive interview about his entrepreneurial journey.Since its founding in 2010, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a> has carved out a distinct identity in the yachting world – one defined by full customisation, innovative design, and a deeply personal approach to craftsmanship. In this interview, founder Hans Webbink reflects on his career, the shipyard’s unconventional journey, the challenges of scaling a boutique brand, and how recent milestones – including the acquisition of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman Shipyard</a> – are setting the stage for the next chapter in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler’s</a> evolution.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364027/image/large-66a4df2871dadae0fd868913bfc1b85f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364027">You had a varied corporate career before establishing&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>, can you share a bit of your story?I began competitive sailing as an Optimist at the age of four, and from that moment, boats and watersports became a central part of my life. While studying Business Economics at Groningen University, I was part of the Dutch Olympic team in the Flying Dutchman class. To support my sailing, I began trading sailboats.After university, I joined Shell as an oil trader, living and working across Europe, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Sailing became a weekend pursuit. Following the Gulf War – during which I spent five months as a ‘guest’ of Saddam Hussein while serving as GM of Shell Kuwait – I left Shell and took on a global marketing and sales role at Philips. However, the constant relocations began to wear thin. By forty, I realised my true passion lay in boats.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/333483/image/large-d34e2731df7d8e20bfd64885082905cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/333483">In 2001, I left the corporate world and launched Antaris, a yard specialising in fibreglass dayboats and cruisers. Focused on functionality through innovation, we became market leader in the Netherlands by 2008, producing 300 boats annually. After merging with Maril and Makma to form Aquatec Industries – which captured over 50% market share – I sold the company in search of a new challenge, and founded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>.The vision was bold: steel yachts that were twice as fast, twice as elegant, and fully custom-built. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a> launched strongly in 2010, but the financial crisis soon hit, shrinking the steel yacht market by 60%. We pivoted, aiming to compete with leading producers of fast fibreglass yachts. In collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a>, we introduced the NG43 Offshore – our first aluminium planing motoryacht. This highly efficient, custom-built vessel won the 2016 European Powerboat of the Year award, making <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a> the first Dutch yard to triumph in this competitive category.When you founded&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>&nbsp;in 2010, what gap in the market were you aiming to fill and how has that vision evolved?At the time, steel motoryachts had a poor reputation – slow, boxy, and standardised, often likened to “caravans on the water.” Buyers had little room for personalisation, which felt entirely at odds with the investment required.Steeler was created to change that. From the outset, our philosophy was simple: we don’t sell yachts – we build exactly what each client needs. Full customisation became our cornerstone. Working with designer Martin Bekebrede, we launched the NG series – a platform combining timeless design with exceptional space utilisation. No two builds are alike, and we’ve delivered 110 unique motoryachts to date.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289732/image/large-f411ceaa0c583f40202a4fd04ed2fab5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289732">We also challenged performance expectations. Instead of limiting clients to inland cruising speeds, we designed yachts capable of 10 to 15 knots – ideal for both rivers and coastal waters. As the market responded, recognition followed, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a> receiving awards and nominations almost every year since 2011. In 2013, we collaborated with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> to develop our first aluminium planing yacht, the NG43 Offshore. Its exceptional efficiency and handling won the European Powerboat of the Year award in 2016 – the first Dutch yard to do so in the production-dominated category.Our move into aluminium planing yachts expanded the concept further. Aluminium offered strength, efficiency, and stability – a compelling alternative to mass-produced fibreglass yachts. Though more costly to build, the result was a better yacht.While our client-first approach mirrors that of Dutch superyacht builders, it’s rare in the 50 to 100-foot segment. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a> now attracts owners seeking a more private, lower-maintenance alternative to larger yachts – without compromising on quality. Many describe us as a “barn find” in the market.With the acquisition of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman Shipyard</a> and sixteen yachts currently in build – a record for us – we’re focused on growing global recognition for a boutique shipyard offering a superyacht experience on a smaller scale.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364028/image/large-0e792fcc12257b4de507d414c7f5749a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364028">What were some of the biggest challenges in scaling a brand that prioritises bespoke craftsmanship?The main challenges have been twofold. First, limited resources for global marketing have made it difficult to reach our niche audience – highly discerning clients who often don’t know about us until they “discover” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a>. Fortunately, once they do, our 99% customer loyalty since 2010 speaks volumes.Second, inflation presents risks during our typical two-year build cycle. This requires a foundation of trust and transparency with clients to navigate unexpected cost fluctuations together.What sets&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>&nbsp;apart in a highly competitive industry?In the 50 to 100-foot segment, our proposition is unique: full customisation, innovative design, personal service, and top-tier craftsmanship. While we lack economies of scale, this is precisely why our clients choose us – for our boutique approach and relentless focus on exceeding expectations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296260/image/large-4bbf4f4afa92522d93f1c06411993556.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296260">What led to the decision to acquire&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman</a>&nbsp;– and why now?A surge in orders for our Ocean Explorer, Enigma, Ace 59, Supersport, and S-lines created a capacity bottleneck at our yard in Steenwijk. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman</a>, just ten minutes away, had the space, skilled team, and shared values – many of their staff even had previous ties to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler</a>.Although the bankruptcy was traumatic for the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4784" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Holterman Shipyard (Company)">Holterman</a> team, the transition was smooth. Production in Meppel, the Netherlands has resumed at full strength, with both teams now working seamlessly together. Initially, there was natural rivalry – we had been competitors for years. But through open dialogue, shared vision, and simply working side-by-side, that tension quickly turned into mutual respect. Today, there’s a strong sense of collaboration and learning between both teams.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296259/image/large-753fbd78f9740bc1d8004334be3441b6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296259">What’s your vision for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5726" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steeler Yachts (Company)">Steeler Yachts</a>&nbsp;over the next five years?With added capacity, we aim to deliver at least ten yachts per year without compromising our boutique identity.
