About us

VMG Yachtbuilders, based in Enkhuizen, specialises in building high-end custom and semi-custom yachts. Together with owners, designers, and professionals, we create one-of-a-kind sailing and motor yachts — as unique as the people who sail them.

Many special yachts also come to our yard for refits and restorations. That’s no coincidence: Enkhuizen has a long-standing yacht building tradition passed down through generations. This heritage is reflected in the craftsmanship we apply — both in modern and traditional projects.

We are proud Dutch yacht builders with a passion for perfection, turning dreams into reality — yachts that make history. Are you ready to be part of that?
