Yachtwerft Meyer

Quality made in Germany
We believe that successful projects are based on mutual
trust, built on enduring business relationships, and
shaped by teams who are prepared to give their best.
Our challenge is to realize workable solutions even for
our customers’ most demanding requirements.
We achieve this by working closely with owners and/or
their representatives. The design and construction of our
tenders benefit from our expertise and innovation in all
areas of production.
Our main focus in the engineering of our tenders is not
just their design, but also their ease of handling in everyday use, which is so important for the crew and owner.
Our use of only the highest quality materials, our
company’s many years of experience in megayacht
construction and the diverse technical facilities at our
yard allow us to meet the very highest quality demands.
We are proud that a megayacht carrying a Yachtwerft
Meyer tender or equipment can now be found in nearly
every port on the planet. The many satisfied owners and
crews are our biggest endorsement and our motivation for
continuing to make unique ‘made in Germany’ products in
the future.

Innovation made in Germany
Equipment
Lightweight and innovative
Fiber Composite Technology is the key
technology in modern manufacturing
processes. Its main advantage is that it
reduces weight, whilst maintaining high
strength. The engineering of innovative
composite parts involves construction
drawings and strength calculations
(FE-Analysis).
In close cooperation with our partner
company Fibretech Composites, which
shares our site, Yachtwerft Meyer offers
these services to all our customers, as
well as investigation and development
of new production technologies, which
are not restricted solely to yacht and
ship building.
The results are innovative products and
technologies for maritime use such as
hulls, masts, equipment racks, furniture
and passerelles, along with products for
the security, aviation, space and wind
industries. Together with our partner
Fibretech Composites and the University
of Dortmund, we have developed and
patented a carbon fiber mold heater
system.
In 2010, the yard was honored with the
International Composite JEC Award, and
in 2011 it won the Seifriz Prize, the Technology Transfer Prize for German craftsmanship, for its patented Fibretemp process for manufacturing heatable plastic
extrusion dies.
Equipment parts –
Lightweight and innovative carbon
masts, furniture, equipment racks, bathing platforms, fender poles, gangways,
etc. Design and construction of all types
of lightweight deck equipment built to
individual specification.

Statements & References
“[…] I am very happy with the quality of the
tender and we have had no warranty issues to
speak of but the warranty department is of a
high standard and we felt well supported. It
was a pleasure dealing with the yard during
the whole build process as they were positively
enthusiastic, friendly and helpful.
The end result is a beautifully designed, very
high quality luxury Limo which I am extremely
happy with.”
Julian Cox, Captain MY Sea Rhapsody
“Dear Jan, Michaela and Jonas,
I hope all is well and that work is not too
hectic! I wanted to let you know that I visited
the owner and was able to see the Limo
tender nestling in her garage, I hope to see
her in the water next month… She looked really
first class and I wanted to thank you for all
your hard work, the end result is a superb
Limo echoing the mother ship perfectly!
I hope we will have some very impressive
pictures next month. Many thanks for all
your efforts.”

your tenders onboard Aquarius.

us in every way. Thank you”

“Hi Guys,
I’ve just been looking through Craigs pictures
of the tenders that you built for Grace E and
listening to reports of how good they were.
