The De Vries Group consists of the two Koninklijke De Vries yards in Aalsmeer and Makkum plus subsidiary companies Slob, Akerboom, STI Engineering and ITS. As managing director Tom de Vries is ultimately responsible for production and quality, while CEO Henk de Vries will oversee sales and other business areas. Both gentlemen have decades of experience and a reputation for their hands-on mentality, and will serve as a first directorship contact point for all the De Vries Group concerns.
As there are limited options to expand the Dutch yard into the immediate vicinity, the interesting decision was made to expand Royal Van Lent down, underground to accommodate the construction of larger vessels.
Royal Van Lent will also see widening the locks in the nearby city of Gouda from 12 to 14 meters. The bridges in the towns of Oude and Nieuwe Wetering will also be extended to the same width, with an expected completion date of 2012.
Built by Royal Van Lent, the 44.65 m (146’ 6”) motor yacht Sirius epitomizes the benefits of the new custom concept. The exterior yacht design of Siius was developed by De Voogt Naval Architects with Sinot Design Associates, the mature and contemporary exterior profile is combined with the unmistakable timeless lines and well-defined curves of a Feadship. Among the many sophisticated details is the way the knuckle goes ‘through’ the large main deck windows to enhance the nautical feel.
On the main deck of the Feadship Motoryacht Lady Christine one can find the formal lounge, the bar and the dining room seating twelve guest in total, and last but not least an impressive cinema.

Winner: PEGASUS
Superyacht charters in Alaska can be a wild and breathtaking vacation experience in the wilderness.
By the end of 2010 the worldwide superyacht fleet is going to have changed quite markedly. The number, size and design advancements of luxury yachts to be launched (and already launched) this year has changed. This bulge in production began last year in 2009 and will continue into 2011. Some experts have suggested that we will never again see such a proliferation of new yachts being launched. It is certainly exciting times for the superyacht industry. There has been plenty of action for yacht designers, builders, managers, but also luxury yacht charters and yacht sales. Superyacht supply is for once keeping up with – and in many cases outstripping – superyacht owner demand.
With new soft goods and interior the yacht Never Enough also provides a full compliment of water toys, diving, and Spa Pool pool on deck.
