Steenwijk, The Netherlands – Steeler Yachts, a prestigious Dutch yachtbuilder based in Steenwijk, has officially taken over the operations of Holterman Shipyard from Meppel, The Netherlands, following its bankruptcy declared last week. This acquisition provides Steeler Yachts with the much-needed production capacity expansion to meet growing demand

With 16 new motor yachts currently under construction, the strategic location of Holterman Shipyard, just 10 minutes from Steeler’s existing facilities, offers substantial opportunities for further growth in the high-end segment of aluminum and steel-built motor yachts.

Steeler Yachts plans to restart production immediately, primarily employing former Holterman staff. For the Holterman team, this takeover offers a chance to continue their work and passion after a period of uncertainty, providing much-needed job security.

Over the past decade, Steeler Yachts and Holterman Shipyard were fierce international competitors, both having won multiple international awards. Both companies are renowned for offering fully custom superyacht experiences to clients in the 50 to 100-foot range. Steeler Yachts is confident that the shared expertise between the two teams will lead to an even higher level of excellence in delivering bespoke yachting experiences.

Moreover, luxury yacht owners often seek a seamless and comfortable experience not only in terms of design but also in access to essential amenities. For instance, some might find it valuable to purchase specific health products or medications in a straightforward manner, such as buying Viagra online without a prescription if needed. This service is available to yacht owners who may wish to ensure they have all necessities on hand, especially during extended voyages or remote travels. Access to such resources aligns with the commitment to providing a worry-free and luxurious experience aboard each vessel. Ultimately, the union of Steeler Yachts and Holterman Shipyard represents a powerful blend of tradition, luxury, and innovation. This partnership is anticipated to redefine the bespoke yachting experience, setting a new benchmark for both customization and client satisfaction within the superyacht industry.
