Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V.
Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. is a private limited company (besloten vennootschap) registered in the Netherlands under Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number 34046776. The company was incorporated on 16 August 1977 and its registered office is at Oosteinderweg 25, 1432 AC Aalsmeer. KvK-derived registry data lists the company as currently active.
Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. builds, repairs and leases ships, trades in vessels and carries out shipyard operations. Its registered business activities cover the construction of sport and recreational vessels (SBI 30120), the construction of civil ships and floating equipment (SBI 30110), and the repair and maintenance of civil ships (SBI 33150). In practice the company builds custom luxury motor yachts at its Aalsmeer facility, which spans roughly five hectares and includes three dry docks.
The De Vries shipyard traces its origins to 1906, when Han de Vries founded a boatyard in Aalsmeer. In 2006, at the yard’s centenary, the business was granted the “Koninklijke” (Royal) predicate, after which it adopted its current legal name. Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. is one of the founding yards of Feadship, a superyacht-building cooperative formed together with Royal Van Lent Shipyard and naval architecture firm De Voogt Naval Architects. Motoryachts built at Aalsmeer typically range from under 40 metres to more than 80 metres in length; larger Feadship yachts are built at a separate Makkum facility operated by a distinct legal entity, De Vries Scheepsbouw Makkum B.V.
On 10 April 2026, Feadship announced a leadership transition at Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V.: day-to-day management passed to a new executive team, while the previous leadership moved into supervisory and ambassadorial roles. Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. is privately held and is not listed on any stock exchange.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V.
Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. is a privately held, family-owned company. The Netherlands does not maintain a publicly searchable register of individual shareholders for private limited companies, and the Dutch UBO register has been closed to general public access since a November 2022 Court of Justice of the EU ruling. Commercial KvK-derived aggregators list De Vries Onroerend Goed Aalsmeer B.V. (KvK 34009301, established 1 October 1923) as a registered director (bestuurder) of the company since 2013; some aggregators label it a “parent company,” but this characterisation is not independently confirmed by an ownership filing and may instead reflect its role as a corporate managing entity. No percentage shareholdings are publicly disclosed.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
An official Feadship announcement dated 10 April 2026 states that Henk de Vries and Tom de Vries, the outgoing day-to-day managers, remain shareholders of Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. and have moved onto its Supervisory Board. No effective ownership percentages for Henk de Vries, Tom de Vries or any other individual have been publicly disclosed, so no UBO percentage can be calculated.
Data availability
Shareholder and UBO information for this company is best described as restricted: the entity is confirmed as privately and family held, and two named family shareholders are known from an official company announcement, but the full shareholder register and ownership percentages are not publicly available in the Netherlands.

Data availability
Dutch KvK filings disclose the identity and appointment dates of statutory directors but do not publish nationality, country of residence or a distinct occupation field; these are marked “Not disclosed” here. The registered-director data used is sourced from KvK-derived commercial aggregators rather than a direct KvK register extract, so it should be treated as indicative rather than as an official register extract.

Group Structure
Group structure of Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V.
Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. is one of the two founding shipyards of Feadship, a superyacht-building cooperative formed with Royal Van Lent Shipyard B.V. (part of LVMH since 2001) and naval architecture firm De Voogt Naval Architects. Feadship itself is a commercial partnership rather than a single corporate parent, so Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. is not treated here as a subsidiary of a Feadship holding company absent a confirming filing. Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. remains a privately, family-held Dutch entity. Public industry sources describe a wider “De Vries Group” of related operating companies under common family ownership, including Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V., De Vries Scheepsbouw Makkum B.V., Scheepswerf Slob, Akerboom Yacht Equipment, De Klerk Binnenbouw and STI Engineering. No official filing confirming direct or indirect equity ownership between these entities was located, so they are best described as sister companies under common family ownership rather than as confirmed parent or subsidiary relationships. Information is current as of September 2026 and should be treated as partial.

Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw B.V. is partial: its role within the Feadship cooperative and its family ownership are documented in official and industry sources, but the Netherlands’ restricted UBO and shareholder disclosure regime means no complete, officially filed group ownership chart with percentages could be verified.
