When Jelmer de Jong started his graduation internship at HOFF, he took a fresh look at a familiar process. The basic structure of a yacht hull has been designed in much the same way for decades. But in a sector where speed, reliability and adaptability are essential, Jelmer saw room for smarter design. Not a [...]
Toen Jelmer de Jong zijn afstudeerstage bij HOFF begon, keek hij met frisse blik naar een bekend proces. De basisstructuur van een jacht ontwerpen gebeurt al decennia min of meer op dezelfde manier. Maar in een sector waar snelheid, betrouwbaarheid en flexibiliteit cruciaal zijn, zag Jelmer ruimte voor vernieuwing. Geen revolutie, maar wel een slimme [...]
Trots laat Scott van Hagen een scherm vol simulaties zien. Voor een ongetraind oog lijken alle rompen vrijwel identiek. Maar in elke curve, elke hoek, elke kleine afwijking zit uren van proberen, bijstellen en soms opnieuw beginnen. Subtiele details maken het verschil tussen weerstand en efficiëntie. Scott rondde onlangs zijn afstudeerproject af bij HOFF, een [...]
How collaboration with you as a supplier strengthens engineering for yacht builders In yacht building, the end result is often spectacular, but the road to get there is complex. Every project demands precision, collaboration, and continuous coordination across multiple disciplines. At HOFF, we are fully embedded in that reality. Our core lies in Basic Engineering, [...]
How HOFF’s engineering power keeps your project on budget and maximizes shipyard profitability. As a shipyard or supplier, you know that efficiency and predictability are critical in shipbuilding. The better a project is prepared, the lower the risk of delays, costly rework, and last-minute improvisation on the yard. Yet, we often see avoidable costs and [...]

By Lars Hofman - Founding Partner We know, when it comes to building yachts, risks are inevitable. From budget overruns to construction delays, each project brings its own set of challenges. Effectively managing these risks is essential to ensure a successful and seamless construction experience. In this blog, we explore how HOFF Partners in [...]
As self-driving cars and unmanned vehicles dominate headlines, why shouldn't yachts take the wheel themselves? Is it a thing? Or are we just getting carried away? And what would it mean for the future of yachting? We, as engineers, are already feeling the excitement tingling. But let's dream for a moment – what benefits could [...]
Technological advancements never cease. Fortunately! But they also bring risks. In the world of luxury yachting, where sophistication and performance meet, safety remains a non-negotiable priority. Yachts are increasingly equipped with more electronics, such as storing high-powered jet skis with strong lithium batteries, large cinema screens, and powerful sound systems. Yachts will increasingly use [...]
