Prestigious Dutch luxury yacht builder Jongert Shipyard is proud to announce two new orders for motor yachts, settled at the 2011 Monaco Yacht Show. One of them is a Jongert 44m Yacht and the other is a Jongert 43m superyacht. As well as these two new exciting yacht orders, Jongert has another LE 500 yacht under construction together with a 41-metre yacht, who’s construction started last year. The Jongert 44m superyacht with design by Dubois Naval Architects is intended for a customer in Ukraine. Both of the yachts are scheduled for delivery in 2013 and additional news will be unveiled in the coming months.
While Jongert was still looking for a clear direction at last year’s show, the two new orders ensured that the yard was well on course this time round, back where it belongs at the top of the superyacht industry. Everything was in place at the show, including interpreters, transport over the water for clients, refreshments and even a smart photo shoot.

Solid organisation
Peter Versluis, the director of the VeKa Group (the organisation to which Jongert Shipyard belongs) was also present in Monaco. His presence was very much appreciated, and many of our business relations took the opportunity to meet him. The fact that Jongert is part of a multinational maritime group offers our clients a guarantee of stability and reliability. The VeKa Group is active in virtually every maritime sector and has shipyards in the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Romania, the Ukraine, Bulgaria, China and Serbia. Thanks to mutual cooperation, we have virtually no limits. Semi-customized and fully customized yachts measuring up to 135 m [443 ft] in length can be built at one of the facilities.
New designs for 2011
Jongert Shipyard recently presented two new designs: the Jongert 500 LE Yacht, an exclusive motor yacht of 50 metres in length, and the 3000 M, a yacht of over thirty metres in length with exceptional sailing qualities. The initial reactions to the new designs were very positive. Of course, the existing designs remain available and have even been restyled. “We’ll do everything in our power to make our customers’ dreams come true”, says Eel Kant. “Jongert will continue to chart new courses well into the future.”
New branch in France
To provide even better service to its international clientele, Jongert International has established a branch in Antibes in the south of France. The office will be run by Niels Lensen, a Dutchman who has been living and working in France for a long time and is thoroughly familiar with the international yacht sector.
Fort Lauderdale
Jongert will have its own stand at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The event will take place from Thursday 27th to Monday 31st October at Fort Lauderdale in Florida. You can find Jongert in the Y&B tent at stand number 664.
