DEFINING A DECADE: SALOON BOAT ‘PROOST VAN SINT JAN’

Originally built in 1886, saloon boat ‘Proost van Sint Jan’ is a treasured part of Dutch maritime heritage. In 2022, she came to VMG Yachtbuilders for a comprehensive refit that respected her historical character while preparing her for years of future use.

The work included a complete overhaul of her technical systems, repainting of the hull and superstructure, and a new antifouling treatment below the waterline. The interior was also refreshed with new soft furnishings and practical updates to improve comfort on board.

Now fully restored, ‘Proost van Sint Jan’ is once again ready to cruise the canals and harbours of the Netherlands with the same timeless grace she has shown for over a century.
