Have an aluminium boat built in Friesland

Are you looking for a custom aluminium boat in Friesland? From Drachten, Haverdesign designs and builds custom aluminium boats, fishing boats, tenders, workboats, and hulls.

Friesland is a province where boating plays a major role. From the Frisian Lakes and Lake Sneekermeer to Lake Tjeukemeer, Lake Heegermeer, Lake Fluessen, Lake Slotermeer, and Lake Pikmeer: every boating area and every application can place different demands on a boat.

From the initial idea and 3D design to technical elaboration and actual realization in aluminium: design and construction come together at Haverdesign.

Aluminium boat builder in Friesland

Haverdesign is based in Drachten, Friesland, and is run by a single designer and builder.

This means that the person who digitally designs your boat in 3D is also personally involved in the actual construction in aluminium.

As a result, construction, material usage, welding, assembly, and practical manufacturability are already taken into account during the design phase.

No handover between different departments, but one direct point of contact from design to realization.

Custom aluminum boat for the Frisian waters

An aluminium boat can be fully developed around the desired use and cruising area.

For relaxed cruising on the Frisian Lakes, comfort, seating space, and storage space can be important, for example, whereas other characteristics are central to a fishing boat or workboat.

Dimensions, hull shape, layout, seating, console, storage space, engine, and appearance can be part of the design from the start.

A custom-made boat does not have to be based on an existing model.

From an initial sketch or idea, Haverdesign can develop a new 3D design and subsequently technically elaborate it for production.

Have an aluminium fishing boat built in Friesland

With its many lakes, canals, and other waterways, Friesland is an interesting area for sport fishermen.

An aluminium fishing boat can be tailored to the water where you primarily want to sail and fish, such as the Sneekermeer, Tjeukemeer, Heegermeer, Fluessen, Slotermeer, or other Frisian waters.

With a custom-built fishing boat, free deck space, casting decks, rod storage, seating, console, electronics, battery compartment, storage space, and motorization can be taken into account.

The layout is first developed digitally in 3D, so that important choices can be made before the aluminium is cut and the actual construction begins.

Aluminum tender for the Frisian Lakes

You can also come to Haverdesign in Drachten for a custom-made aluminium tender.

A tender for recreational use on, for example, the Frisian Lakes can be developed with its own hull shape, layout, and appearance.

Dimensions, seating, console, storage space, engine configuration, and other components can be tailored to the desired application.

This does not result in a modified standard boat, but an aluminium tender that is designed from the start around the client's wishes.

Aluminum sloop for boating in Friesland

Friesland boasts an extensive network of lakes, canals, and waterways. An aluminium sloop can therefore be an interesting option for recreational use around Sneek, Grou, Heeg, Lemmer, Earnewâld, and other watersports areas.

The design can be tailored for comfortable sailing, sufficient seating space, storage space, and the desired engine.

Design and functionality are developed together from the first 3D design.

Aluminum boat for the IJsselmeer

From Friesland, the IJsselmeer is also an important sailing area.

When a boat is intended for larger and more open water, different design choices may become important than for use exclusively on smaller inland waters.

Therefore, for a custom project, the intended use and sailing area are considered before the design is technically elaborated.

Have an aluminium workboat built in Friesland

Aluminium workboats can also be designed for professional and practical use.

In addition to recreational boating, Friesland also has many water-related activities. Therefore, features such as free deck space, stability, accessibility, loading options, and specific equipment may be central to a workboat.

The design is tailored to the activities for which the vessel is used.

Have an aluminium hull built in Friesland

Do you want to finish building a boat yourself? Then Haverdesign can also supply a welded aluminium hull.

Haverdesign can handle the design and aluminium construction, after which you take care of the motorization, electrical installation, controls, interior, or further equipment yourself, for example.

The exact scope of delivery is determined in advance per project.

Have a boat designed in 3D in Friesland

At Haverdesign, a new design starts digitally.

With a 3D model, the shape, dimensions, layout, and construction of the boat can be developed before actual production begins.

This allows design choices and changes to be assessed in advance.

After the design phase, the digital model can be further developed into production drawings and CNC cutting files for construction.

From 3D design to aluminum boat

An important difference at Haverdesign is that design and construction are not separate.

The same person who develops the design also works on its actual realization.

As a result, a boat is not only digitally designed to look good, but the way parts are cut, shaped, assembled, and welded is taken into account from the very beginning.

The designer builds. The builder designs.

Which aluminium is used?

Marine-grade aluminium is used for the ship structures, including aluminium 5083.

This material is widely used in shipbuilding due to the combination of strength, relatively low weight, weldability, and resistance to corrosion in maritime conditions.

The required sheet thicknesses and construction are tailored to the specific design.

Aluminum boat building kit in Friesland

Build kits or cutting kits may also be available for selected Haverdesign designs.

Depending on the selected package, CNC cutting files, DXF files, production drawings, and additional construction information can be supplied, among other things.

This could be of interest to experienced homebuilders or professional companies that have the capabilities to assemble and weld the boat themselves.

Which aluminium boats does Haverdesign build?

Haverdesign does not focus exclusively on one type of boat.

In addition to fully custom work, Haverdesign develops, among other things, aluminium fishing boats, tenders and sloops, recreational boats, workboats, aluminium hulls, proprietary Haverdesign models, custom 3D designs, and build kits.

Own models include the Haverdesign 595 and Tug 42, among others.

Where in Friesland is Haverdesign located?

Haverdesign is based in Drachten, Friesland.

Drachten is centrally located in relation to various Frisian water sports areas. From Drachten, aluminium boats are designed and built for clients from Friesland and the rest of the Netherlands.

Whether you are looking for a boat for the Frisian Lakes, Lake Sneekermeer, Lake Tjeukemeer, Lake Heegermeer, Fluessen, Lake Slotermeer, Lake Pikmeer, Lake IJsselmeer, or another boating area: the design can be tailored to the desired application.

How much does a custom-made aluminum boat cost in Friesland?

The price of a custom-made aluminum boat depends on, among other things, the dimensions, design, materials used, engine, finish, and desired equipment.

For example, an aluminium hull for self-completion has a different price structure than a fully equipped fishing boat or tender.

Therefore, for custom work, the requirements, application, and intended use of the boat are considered first. Based on this, it can be determined which design and construction route best suits the project.
