History

edit

The shipyard was established by Jan Vitters in 1990 to build mega yacht hulls. Soon after Louis Hamming joined Vitters, they began building sailing yachts, which resulted in the first yacht being delivered in 1993, Aphrodite I. [1][2]

In 2010 Vitters expanded when they acquired Green Marine which is based in Lymington, UK. Green Marine specializes in advanced composite projects. [3]

Vitters expanded again in 2016 through a partnership with fellow Dutch shipyard, Claasen Shipyards based in Zaandam. Both shipyards will keep their own identities, but will work together on a management level. [4]
