More than 320 steel and aluminum sailing yachts and motorsailers have left Jongert's yard in Wieringerwerf on the IJsselmeer in the Netherlands since 1953. New construction has been rare since the yard hit financial trouble in 2009, and most Jongerts trade today as brokerage boats, though a new owner announced plans in 2026 to build again.
The yard and its boats
Jongert works in steel and aluminum on a 44,000 square meter site with three construction halls, each 60 meters long and extendable to 100 meters when a project demands it. Models such as the Jongert 2000S and the Jongert Trewes 53 still change hands regularly on the used market.
Ownership changes and the 2026 restart
The Jongert family gave up control in 2009, when financial difficulties pushed the yard to the VEKA Group. Acico Yachts took over in 2015 and kept the brand going. In 2026 the Dutch investor Hans Kortlevers acquired the shipyard through Lmey Investments and announced two projects intended to return Jongert to new construction: a 55 meter aluminum ketch designed by Iddes Yachts, with a lifting keel and battery propulsion, and a motor catamaran under 500 gross tons.
Jongert on the used market
A Jongert today is almost always a used boat, often decades old and often refitted along the way. Buyers should weigh refit history as heavily as the original build. GetBoat lists Jongert sailing yachts for sale and for charter.
