Contest Yachts

Contest Yachts creates luxury, semi-custom performance sailing cruisers designed for long-distance sea keeping and refined comfort. Built to individual commission, every model in the range — spanning 13 to 26 metres — caters directly to owner preferences, whether intended for coastal passages, offshore sailing, or global ocean exploration.

The company maintains high engineering standards by certifying every single sailing yacht through Lloyd’s Register. Working out of its facility on the Ijsselmeer, Contest Yachts combines advanced structural engineering with meticulous artisan construction methods and premium marine materials.

Collaborating closely with future owners throughout the design and construction phases remains central to the process. This direct partnership yields light, strong, sea-kindly boats that handle effortlessly under sail while meeting strict personal requirements for layout and performance.

As a third-generation family business, Contest Yachts focuses on constructing long-lasting luxury yachts with a reputation for exceptional sea performance and modern design solutions.
