Builder DutchCraft

Company history

DutchCraft Shipyards opened in 2019 as a subsidiary of the shipyard. Zeelander Yachtswhich has been successfully operating since 2002. The idea of the new brand came from the shipbuilder and yachtsman Sietse Koopmans on another voyage on a superyacht, after visiting 46 countries and travelling more than one hundred thousand nautical miles.

Coopmans has created a new brand based on the Zeelander experience and customer needs. He understood that a modern yacht must meet the rapidly changing needs of customers. DutchCraft's priorities were versatility, yacht safety, easy operation and a high level of comfort.

Model range

The first model of the brand was DutchCraft 56, a 17-meter yacht built using composite materials.

«While travelling, I asked myself what I wanted to get from the yacht in return for the money spent. In the end I chose three main parameters: the possibility to invite large groups of friends on board, to use the maximum of options for relaxation and to spend a minimum of effort and money on maintenance. This inspired me to create the perfect all-purpose yacht for DutchCraft 56. You can fish, relax, dive, have fun, travel, and store a lot of water gadgets»on it," said Seats Coopmans.

The basic principle of DutchCraft yachts is universality. The shipyard's founders have chosen the phrase «Ocean of Opportunity» as a slogan and seem to be committed to it.
