Engineering, translating a yacht design into a real yacht!
We are the core of the yacht building process of Damen Yachting. Whether it is a luxurious yacht, ruggedized expedition yacht or a multipurpose yacht support vessel, we engineer it all. Our team of 160 engineers work divided over four main disciplines: shipbuilding, mechanical, electrical and interior. All are passionate and dedicated, working closely together in project teams and creating a pleasant and personal working atmosphere. Together we engineer the yacht as a virtual ship, as the yacht will be a digital one before it will be built in real life. By using advanced 3D software we integrate increasingly standardized and modularized systems, for a fast and reliable delivery of our yachts to the highest quality and value. During this process we work closely together with our co-makers to incorporate the latest industry standards and technologies into our yachts. In order to create the highest standard of yachting experience for our customers.
