Nauticsale and Younique launch joint venture
Dutch tender manufacturer Younique Yachts has joined forces with Nauticsale, a specialist in maintenance, renewal, repair and advice in onboard systems, to form a new joint venture called Younique Yacht Systems.
The two firms say they will execute projects together going forward at their shared yard in Makkum, the Netherlands.
Younique Yacht Systems says it offers clients the installation of new and service/refit of yachting systems, including air conditioning, refrigerators and freezers, navigation and communication systems, electro, monitoring and control, energy and installations like drinking water systems, wastewater systems, fuel systems, ventilation systems and propulsion.
Younique Yachts builds motor and sailing yachts and superyacht tenders. The firm has its own carpeting, interior and exterior specialists and yacht painters. Through its engineering department, it can also provide installations and electrics on board.
The purchase and service of yachting systems through dealerships by Nauticsale are said to be complementary to Younique Yachts’ projects.
“By working together, we combine all of our experience in a specialised company,” says Egbert Wattel, one of the co-founders of Younique Yachts. “Younique Yachts delivers tailor-made solutions, always with our customers’ needs in mind. The comfort solutions, navigation and communication systems of Nauticsale are of great added extra value.”
“Our services combined make us stronger. You can see us as a full-service yachting company there to meet our clients’ needs,” says Jan de Graaff, the owner of Nauticsale. “Nauticsale is a certified installation company. We have knowledge of old and new systems and always implement the best solution on board that particular yacht. Everything to give our clients the comfort levels of their expectations.”
A new showroom is currently being installed in Makkum, to give clients the opportunity to view and test new systems.
