The Dutch yacht building company Wajer Yachts has announced their takeover of Zaadnoordijk Yachtbuilders. The two companies have previously worked together, with Zaadnoordijk Yachtbuilders supporting Wajer Yachts in various areas, with hull construction, and the launch of the Wajer 37, 38, 38S and 55. This strategic acquisition will give both Dutch companies the opportunity to guarantee continuity.

Jan Muller, owner and director of Zaadnoordijk Yachtbuilders said: “Twenty years ago I started working with Dorus Wajer. It is great that both companies have undergone a wonderful development and are now continuing under one flag.”

Wajer Yachts has recently experienced strong growth, with the Wajer 77 being produced at the yard in Lemmer and the 55 line being built at the yard in Heeg. Zaadnoordijk Yachtbuilders brings over 70 years of yacht building experience to the table, and will see the Wajer 38 series production continuing at Zaadnoordijk in Heerenveen.

Dries Wajer, director of Wajer Yachts added: “Jan Muller and his team have always been a great partner to us. The history we share creates a lot of trust, we are happy that we can join forces and continue in this way.”
