Martin De Jager Yacht Design Review

Martin de Jager Yacht Design is not a builder of yachts but a yacht design office that specializes in the design of modern yachts.

The design team consists of naval architects, interior designers and maritime designers that utilize modern techniques and equipment to produce some of the industry’s best yacht designs.

De Jager is a full service office that will see the project through to the end with hands on management of yacht builds world-wide in addition to restoration of vintage and classic yachts. Since 1992 there have been more than 500 yachts and small vessels built using Martin de Jager designs.

There have been many notable Martin de Jager designs over the years. A few of the more visible designs by de Jager include the Watertaxi in Rotterdam and the Holland American Line rescue tenders. There have also been many smaller boats that were designed for use along Holland’s inland waterways. These boats were designed to be built in either aluminum or steel with teak finishing.

Since this company specializes in design only and does not actually build the yachts, there are no used models for purchase. The price for designs and consultancy are for just that and the boat must be built by a reputable boat manufacturer.
