Contest Yachts

Contest Yachts designs and builds luxury, semi-custom, performance sailing cruisers. A third-generation, family firm now more than 60 years old, our shipyard is on the edge of the Ijsselmeer in Medemblik, NL, and each yacht leaving the yard is fully certified by Lloyd’s Register, the world’s leading classification and compliance society.

All yachts in our 13- to 26-metre range are built to individual commission and are equally suited to coastal, offshore and bluewater exploration. Using the very best of materials, handcrafting and innovative technology, we work closely with every owner to design, build and deliver well-sorted, strong, light, sea-kindly, easily handled yachts that exactly meet personal requirements.
