Heritage

Today Wajer Yachts continues to be driven by innovation and a desire to offer owners an impeccable sailing performance.

Family-owned
As a family-owned business, Wajer Yachts is renowned for its customer focused approach, high standard of service and premium Dutch quality. Company founder Dorus Wajer has spent most of his life on the water. Being a perfectionist, he often used to come up with ways to improve the boats he saw. Following his heart, Dorus started building his own launches on the lakes near Amsterdam in 1992. The Captain’s Launch, still famous for its quality, craftsmanship and iconic lines, dates from this period.
Thanks to a constant emphasis on product development, Wajer Yachts went from strength to strength over the years. In 2010, Dorus’ son Dries, who shares his father’s vision, perfectionism and passion for watersports, joined the company. Together they have further developed the Wajer models and enhanced the company’s professionalism.
A new standard
One of Dorus’ career highlights is the introduction of the new Wajer 55 in the summer of 2016. Using innovative lightweight materials and state-of-the-art production methods, the Wajer craftsmen have excelled themselves to provide a perfect balance of dynamic sailing and extraordinary comfort. The Wajer 55 blends all the characteristics that have made the Wajer brand, including an excellent performance, first-class quality, eye for detail and elegant design. Dorus, Dries and the yard that bears their name will again set a new benchmark for this class of motorboat.
NeKo Yacht Supply - member of the HISWA Holland Yachting Group, is attending the MYBA Charter Show - to be held at OneOcean Port Vell in Barcelona. The show will take place from Monday 23rd to Thursday 26th April 2018. Being the 30th edition next year, the Show will also be a celebration of three decades of existence and promises to be an unforgettable event.
NeKo is a worldwide yacht supplier providing the finest food, professional technique equipment and tailor-made services. They supply all yachts which appreciate a supplier who arrange everything after receiving the order. This to save time and prevent stress. They are truly the worldwide choice for mega yacht owners, captains, chefs and crew.
In addition to building custom superyachts, Moonen also has a thriving refit department that serves yachts up to 50 metres. The first-class engineering expertise found at their yard in Den Bosch is increasingly being put to good use in partnership with neighbours DMS, a company renowned for its patented antiroll stabilizers and MagnusMaster roll damping system.
One of the current projects involves a 21.5-metre Stentor Luxe, designed by Vripack. “This fine motoryacht was not originally fitted with a fin stabilizer system because the owners felt nothing available on the market when she was built in 2006 was suitable,” explains Patrick Noor from DMS. “Twelve years later, however, our in-house-developed MagnusMaster roll damping system meets all their criteria. Another key requirement from the clients was that their yacht have the new system installed at a top Dutch yard… So Moonen was the obvious choice.”
Patrick says that his clients are always pleased to have work done at Moonen. “The yard has an excellent reputation for building yachts of exceptional quality and people looking to refit their much-loved yacht know she’ll be in good hands with Moonen.”
Another reason why the cooperation between Moonen and DMS is so successful is that both companies are forward-thinking innovators. “We share the same commitment to ensuring that people have the most pleasurable experience when sailing,” adds Patrick. “Comfort when underway is enhanced by stabilizers and the DMS systems are popular as they are retractable. Moreover, a prime benefit for refits is that the systems can be placed anywhere on board. Add in the superb quality of Moonen’s refitting department and you have the ideal stabilisation solution for refits.”
