Starting a New Build Project
Turning a concept into a working yacht requires coordination, planning and the right team around the project.
A new build brings together designers, engineers, shipyards, project managers and specialists — all moving at different speeds. My role is to help owners structure the process so each stage develops properly and decisions are made with the right information in front of them.
From linking you with exceptional naval architects and designers to overseeing crucial stages like design, construction, crew recruitment, and delivery, JJ is committed to guiding you every step of the way.

"Jan‑Jaap knows the complexity of yacht building and can translate this to his clients in a very straight and clear way. That makes him a valuable partner in any new build project and a great friend to work together for the benefit of the yacht construction and the customer."

Hakvoort Yachts
Shipyard
"As a designer I have been working with Jan‑Jaap on numerous new‑build and refit projects. His knowledge of yacht design combined with his experience of yacht building is excellent. JJ’s trademark is to always tell the truth, even if it’s unpleasant at some point – it will protect some of us from doing a dangerously quick deal! Together with his relaxed manners in dealing with his client makes him someone whom I can recommend to any future new‑build project."
Cor D. de Rover
Yacht Designer
"JJ is one of the rare ones. Honest, steady, and genuinely committed to his clients. After years of working together, I can say with confidence he’s one of the best brokers out there."
