building dreams together
63CS
Together, we make boating ambitions a reality so that you can embrace your own personal dream.
Working closely with owners, every single Contest yacht, both motor and sail, is designed and detailed to match individual desires.
Together with you we begin with meticulous preparation, involving specialists and suppliers for every aspect and element of your yacht's specification and build.
Founded in 1959, and with the stability of the third generation of the same boatbuilding family, we run our shipyard in Medemblik, the Netherlands with a highly skilled team of accomplished, caring craftspeople to hand-build extensively personalised yachts.
All our yachts are properly Lloyd's Register certified and bring pride in performance and confidence in the roughest of conditions. Together, the ideal combination. So, the new Contest 63CS now presents another perfect expression of building dreams together.

IT ALL BEGAN 60 AND MORE YEARS AGO
Our yachts are naturally very different to those of six decades ago but the founding principles of finely built craft, perfectly set for purpose still guide all that we do.
The nine-model Contest range of performance bluewater sailing yachts spans 42ft to 85ft (13m to 26m) suiting all activities from leisurely sailing to regattas, coastal and offshore cruising and world circling. All in safe comfort engineered for your peace of mind.
Our construction is to the highest Dutch standards with each yacht combining hand-finished craftsmanship with modern technologies, including advanced, Lloyd's Register approved vacuum resin infusion of cored composite hull, deck and keel structure.
Combined, this assures accuracy, consistency and optimised integrity for a stronger, lighter, more durable yacht. And every yacht leaving this family-owned yard does so with individual, valued endorsement of full Lloyd's Register certification.
That’s all excellent news for safety, longevity and residual values, which together means peace of mind and safe investment.
