Royal Van Lent

It was at the end of the 16th century that the Dutch invented pleasure boating, christening their little racing boats jachts. The Van Lent family’s shipyard, which dates back to 1849, is the heir to this tradition of mastering the seas. Its yachts were already winning speed contests in the 1920s and were the first to use steel and then aluminium. Specialized in the design and construction of high-quality vessels, Royal Van Lent combines ancestral savoir-faire with a deeply held spirit of innovation to meet the highest requirements in terms of performance, comfort and sailing pleasure. Sold under the brand name Feadship, its boats measuring 35 to 120 metres (115 to 393 feet) in length combine state-of-the-art technology and high-quality fittings. From generation to generation, the Van Lent family has teamed up with the best maritime architects and designers to create exceptional yachts. They are unique vessels and their owners are heavily involved their design.
