Holland Jachtbouw opens dedicated refit centre

Holland Jachtbouw has announced the opening of the HJB Refit Centre. This separate division within the state-of-the-art yard close to Amsterdam will take a distinctive approach to major rebuilds that meets the unique requirements of this specialised work. And the needs of captains and crew residing in Holland during the project will be comprehensively met by HJB’s unique Crew Assist programme.

The decision to open the HJB Refit Centre follows the exceptionally positive reviews received for Holland Jachtbouw’s rebuild of the 42m motoryacht Life SAGA. “The success of during this 18-month project proved that HJB can compete at the highest end of the refit market as well as build premium superyachts,” explains HJB Managing Director Paul Dielemans. “The lessons learned with Life SAGA have been fully incorporated into our operations, adding to the experience gained on previous refits of sailyachts such as Aventura and Kim.

“While the HJB Refit Centre has access to the world-class facilities available at the yard, it has a distinctive organisation. Offering the highest Dutch standards of engineering and craftsmanship and a superb open-water location with unobstructed access to the North Sea, the Refit Centre is the ideal place for a comprehensive superyacht rebuild.”
