Bestevaer Yachts
Custom aluminium sailing and motor yachts by KM Yachtbuilders in the Netherlands.
Bestevaer Yachts is the yacht programme presented by KM Yachtbuilders in Makkum, the Netherlands. The brand describes custom-built aluminium sailing and motor yachts and identifies sailing, motor and custom work as the principal parts of the offer. It also separates a 36–53 ft model range from larger Grand projects above 53 ft. The range therefore combines aluminium sailing and motor formats with a separate route for larger or more individual custom work.
The current fleet navigation lists sailing models 36 S/Y, 42 S/Y, 45 S/Y, 49 S/Y and 53 S/Y, and motor models 49 M/Y, 53 M/Y and 63 M/Y. The website attributes the brand to KM Yachtbuilders and refers to cooperation with Dykstra Naval Architects in its sustainability presentation. It describes the ability to tailor layout, interior, exterior, rigging and finish.
The 14.97 m to 20.50 m examples offer different amounts of accommodation and storage while retaining the builder’s aluminium construction and custom approach.
Bestevaer, built by KM Yachtbuilders, offers custom aluminium yachts in both sailing and motor formats. The 36-to-53-foot range and larger Grand projects suggest different scales of owner involvement and life aboard.
The owner should decide first whether the brief is shaped by sailing or motor cruising, then by route, crew and required self-sufficiency. Aluminium construction is a shared starting point; the design, deck arrangement and technical systems of a specific yacht determine whether it serves that brief well. Custom work should be discussed early enough to influence both the hull arrangement and the systems it must carry.
