History

The shipyard was established by Jan Jongert, Sr., in Medemblik in 1953 and produced sailing yachts between 20 m (66 ft) and 50 m (160 ft) in length. Between 1970 and 1994 the yard exported cumulatively in excess of half a billion guilders worth of yachts. [1] Most of the later vessels were designed by Tony Castro and built from steel or aluminium.

Jongert went bankrupt in 2009, then restarted under the ownership of VEKA. [2] In 2015 the company went bankrupt again. [3]

In 2016 the company is active. [4] [5]

On January 19, 2017, they announced they found a new investor, following the failed takeover of the yard by Acico. Together with the Vripack design studio they are working on a 47 m (154 ft) motor yacht project. [6]
