History of Jongert Yachts

Founded in 1953, Jongert began by building small motorboats, and in 1960 launched its first luxury motoryacht. This was followed with two classes of sailing yachts – the Zwalkers and the Trewes –through a partnership with marine engineering firm Van der Meer and yacht architect Willem de Vries Lentsch.
