Example Project: M/Y Aphrodite
An example of the yard's work is the 31m motor yacht Aphrodite, built in 1994. This custom yacht was designed both inside and out by De Vries Lentsch, showcasing their capability to provide a complete, in-house design-and-build service. Built with a steel hull and superstructure, she was designed to comfortably accommodate up to 24 guests in 12 cabins. Her shallow draft makes her suitable for accessing shallow areas and cruising close to shorelines, reflecting a design philosophy that combines social comfort with practical exploration.
