Jongert Yachts: Navigating Excellence Since 1953

From its humble beginnings in Opperdoes, the Jongert legacy was born out of Jan Jongert Senior's passion, a celebrated speed skater turned remarkable shipbuilder. His initial foray into creating robust farmers boats and small motor boats soon evolved, steering Jongert towards becoming a beacon of luxury yachting excellence. Moving to Medemblik marked a pivotal expansion, allowing Jongert to delve into larger motorboats and eventually sailing yachts, defining the yard's mastery in versatile yacht construction.

Pioneering Yacht Craftsmanship

The years between 1963 and 1967 heralded Jongert's definitive breakthrough. Captivating the nautical world with the Zwalkers and Trewes classes, designed in collaboration with Van der Meer and Willem de Vries Lentsch, Jongert solidified its reputation for pioneering innovation and superior build quality. The introduction of the Jongert Traditional Line (T-Line) in the late '70s further underscored this, blending comfort, timeless appeal, and classic nautical aesthetics into vessels of unmatched quality.

Innovation at Full Sail

As the decades unfolded, Jongert's horizon expanded with the addition of the C- and M-Lines—testaments to the shipyard's relentless pursuit of innovation, speed, and performance. Internationally acclaimed designs and technological marvels, such as yachts with folding keels and aluminium hulls, set Jongert apart, garnering global recognition and prestigious awards.

The Modern Era: Tradition Meets Innovation

The transformation under new ownership has not steered Jongert away from its roots but rather, strengthened its commitment to quality and sustainability. Today, Jongert continues to enthral the yachting community, merging traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to create yachts that offer unparalleled sailing experiences.
