Jongert is a distinguished Dutch luxury yacht builder with a history rooted in craftsmanship and thoughtful engineering. Since its founding in 1953 by Jan Jongert Sr., the yard has evolved from building small motorboats to producing bespoke sailing and motor yachts admired for their timeless lines and robust performance. Through the latter half of the twentieth century, Jongert established a reputation for quality that resonated with experienced blue-water cruisers across the globe.

Situated in Wieringerwerf on the North Sea coast of the Netherlands, Jongert’s facilities support semi-custom and custom builds primarily in steel and aluminium. This choice of materials reflects a design philosophy that values structural integrity and seaworthiness above fleeting trends. The yard’s portfolio spans elegant sailing yachts and refined motor yachts, many of which continue to perform exceptionally well on resale markets decades after launch.

Today’s Jongert blends heritage with forward-thinking ambition. Under new ownership announced in 2026, the brand is setting its sights on flagship projects that honour its legacy while embracing modern yacht owner expectations. Owners who choose Jongert yachts often seek a yacht that serves as both a capable global cruiser and a timeless expression of nautical refinement.
