150 years of craftsmanship - and the story continues
Memories have the property of becoming brighter over time. The past often seems brighter, sunnier and grander than the present - with brighter colors, sweeter tastes and greater adventures. At De Klerk Binnenbouw , it's no different. We look back with pride on our rich history, full of milestones, successes and achievements. But despite a legacy that spans 150 years, we choose to look forward. Our 150th anniversary in 2023 was not only a celebration of the past, but also of the exciting future ahead.

From first yacht to fleet
De Klerk Binnenbouw has been a trusted partner for Feadship since 1978, contributing to the interiors of countless custom-built superyachts.
