Every yacht tells a story, of voyages, ownership, and creation.
At Balk Shipyard, we preserve that story and shape its next chapter.
We don’t just restore, we recraft. Rebuilding, refining, and reimagining every detail with Royal precision.
Each yacht leaves our shipyard stronger, more beautiful, and ready for decades to come.
It is faster, smarter, more sustainable, and more cost efficient than building new. It saves materials, preserves heritage, and extends a yacht’s life without compromise on quality or performance.
Every recrafted yacht is updated to today’s technical standards, equipped with modern systems, optimized hull design, and smarter energy use.
It delivers lower operational costs, with improved fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance. New technologies mean smaller environmental footprints and better performance at sea.
Through Recrafting, each yacht regains full compliance with the latest safety and environmental regulations, ensuring reliability for decades to come.
And because excellence endures, a recrafted yacht holds and even increases its resale value. A true investment in longevity.
But recrafting also demands more: more skill, more experience, more respect.
That is why we call it ReCraftsmanship. The highest form of craft, reserved for those who can make something already exceptional even better.
Recrafting is not just restoration.
It’s renewal with purpose: technical, emotional, and timeless.
Each one a creation of vision, craftsmanship, and legacy. Balk works with the highest respect for the great builders of our time, both in the Netherlands and beyond.
Sharing the same soil as the Dutch masters of yachtbuilding, we understand their standards, their precision, and their pride.
Our role is to protect their vision and extend it with the same dedication and mastery, ensuring every masterpiece continues to live, sail, and inspire.
In our Royal facility in Urk, centuries of craftsmanship meet modern engineering. Each project begins with deep research into a yacht’s history and design.
From dismantling to rebuilding, every stage is guided by skilled hands. Designers, welders, engineers, carpenters, mechanics, fitters, painters and artisans all united by one purpose:
to recraft perfection into permanence.
