DISCOVER 20 FACTS ABOUT WAJER'S LUXURY YACHTS
Wajer Yachts in the Netherlands has grown over the past 25 years from a one-man business to a renowned player in the international world of luxury yachts. Although the Wajer that started it all – the Captain’s Launch – is still built today, the company is best known for its powerful, luxurious seaworthy open day yachts.
20 Facts About Wajer Yachts
- The Wajer story started in 1992 when Dorus Wajer was looking to buy a launch that would be ideal for Dutch waters
- Dries Wajer, son of Dorus, joined Wajer Yachts eight years ago at the age of 21, focusing on the sales and marketing aspects of the business
- The first launch was the highly innovative Wajer Captain’s Launch, which included features that were unique at the time such as underfloor heating
- There are some 40 Wajers with their home berths on the French Côte d’Azur alone
- Wajer Yachts representatives can be found in the Netherlands, France, Spain, the UAE and the United States
- In 2013, the yard introduced the Wajer 38, a renewed version of the Wajer 37 featuring modern materials and more space for sunbathing
- The 38 S introduced in 2015 is a sportier version of the Wajer 38: lighter, faster and with additional room for toys such as Seabobs, SUP boards and water skis
- The yard uses the best materials and quality is its first priority
- A ‘titanium look’ is an option for fittings (one of 123 options), whereby vacuum oxidation is deployed to ensure a functional and attractive finish with optimal protection against seawater
- Wooden elements are covered in 20 layers of varnish
- No Wajer yacht contains any 90-degree angles
- Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design is Wajer’s design partner
- Every Wajer has powerful engines. The 38 has two 435 hp engines and the Volvo IPS system for joystick manoeuvring
- The engines, IPS system and use of lightweight materials result in favourable fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, low noise levels, a substantial range, a high top speed and superior ease-of-operation
- Every Wajer features an adjustable and well-organised steering position
- All Wajers can be operated and berthed single-handedly and excellent stability is assured by a dedicated computer system
- The 55 has a height-adjustable cockpit floor
- From underfloor heating in the first Captain’s Launch to the patented fender system on the 55, every Wajer includes innovative features
- ‘Without a worry’ is Wajer’s pay-off, meaning clients can rely on the highest level of service before, during and after their purchase
- No less than 396 Wajers are now cruising the world’s waters from Ibiza to Hong Kong
