History and Heritage of Boarncruiser Yachts

Boarncruiser Yachts has a rich history that spans over six decades. Established in 1964, this family-owned shipyard has grown to become a world leader in metal construction yachts. The pride and quality of Dutch shipbuilding are evident in every yacht they produce. Boarncruiser is known for its innovative designs and commitment to pushing the boundaries of yacht construction.

The shipyard's success is built on a foundation of skilled craftsmanship and a relentless pursuit of excellence. As a family business, Boarncruiser places a high degree of emphasis on customer satisfaction. Their dedication to building solid and lasting relationships with their clients is reflected in the loyalty and trust they have earned over the years.

When selecting a yacht, especially for trawlers and exploration yachts under 80 feet, opting for metal construction—either steel or aluminum—offers significant advantages over traditional fiberglass.

Strength and Durability: Both steel and aluminum are far more durable than fiberglass. Steel provides unmatched robustness and can withstand harsh marine environments and impacts, ensuring a longer lifespan and greater safety in rough seas​. Aluminum, while lighter, still offers excellent strength and is particularly resistant to corrosion in saltwater environments, further enhancing its durability​.

Maintenance and Repair: Metal yachts are easier to maintain and repair than fiberglass yachts. Steel, in particular, is widely available and easier to repair globally due to the abundance of skilled labor and materials. This accessibility reduces downtime and maintenance costs, ensuring your yacht remains seaworthy. Aluminum requires specific maintenance to prevent galvanic corrosion, but its resistance to rust makes it a low-maintenance option overall​​.

Performance and Efficiency: Aluminum's lightweight nature enhances fuel efficiency and allows for higher speeds, making it ideal for performance-oriented yachts. Steel, due to its heavier weight, provides greater stability and a smoother ride, which is beneficial for long-distance cruising​.

Customization Flexibility: Metal construction allows for greater customization due to the fewer structural bulkheads required than fiberglass. This flexibility enables you to design and tailor the yacht to your unique specifications, creating unique layouts and features that suit your personal preferences and cruising needs​.

Safety: Metal yachts, particularly those made of steel, offer enhanced safety features due to their robust construction. Steel's superior impact resistance provides excellent protection in the event of a collision or grounding, which is crucial for long-distance exploration​.

Choosing metal construction for your Boarncruiser yacht ensures a durable, safe, and customizable vessel that meets the highest performance and efficiency standards. Whether you prioritize steel's strength and stability or aluminum's lightweight efficiency, metal construction offers significant benefits over traditional fiberglass, making it the superior choice for discerning yacht owners.
