Jongert, one of the world's leading yacht builders, has a rich history rooted in innovation and excellence. The Jongert family initially began building small motorboats, but quickly recognized the growing demand for technologically advanced vessels. In 1960, the yard launched its first luxury motor yacht, which was followed by two classes of sailing yachts a year later. These yachts, created in collaboration with Van der Meer and Willem de Vries Lentsch, catapulted Jongert into the global spotlight as a pioneering yard.
In 1969, Jongert started working with Herbert Dahm, marking the beginning of numerous successes. It was during this time that the renowned slogan, "The impossible we can do today. miracles may take a little while longer," emerged. This commitment to pushing boundaries and offering unrivaled comfort, privacy, luxury, and cutting-edge technologies still holds true today.
Continuing its tradition of innovation, Jongert has collaborated with esteemed architects and designers like Doug Peterson, Tony Castro, and André Hoek. As a result, the Jongert brand has become synonymous with superyachts of the highest quality.
Today, Jongert is privately owned by an experienced yachtsman who leads multinational maritime companies, ensuring a continued focus on quality, innovation, and sustainability.
