Classic wooden yacht at sea

Historic yachts.
Brought back to life.

Original plans. Craftsmanship. Wood. Passion.
Committed to the original

History
becomes reality
again.

We are fascinated by yachts whose lines were first drawn on paper more than a century ago. We restore historic wooden boats and bring original plans back to life – with respect for the original and a determination to understand every detail.

Historic photographs and original documents are not decoration to us. They are our starting point and our benchmark.
Our approach
Some things have no shortcut.To do justice to the original, you have to be prepared to go all the way.

The craft

Wood. Time.
Precision.

The original takes shape in the details.Historic constructions demand an understanding of material, lines and the thinking of their original designers. Much is decided not at first glance, but in the details.
Once the fascination takes hold, time no longer matters.
Projects

From the drawing
to the yacht.

Historic yachts carry their history in every line. On our projects page, we present selected work – with a few images and the story behind each boat.

Small enough
for every detail.

Our work is not defined by the number of projects, but by the attention each one receives.

Anyone entrusting us with a historic boat should know who is working on it, how decisions are made and why originality matters so much to us.
