A hatch that doesn’t open all the way. A lift system that blocks service access. A sliding door that interferes with cable trays. These issues don’t stem from bad luck, they come from treating mechanical systems as add-ons, instead of designing them as integral parts of the yacht. In yacht building, there is no plug-and-play. [...]

In yacht building, there’s little room for delay. Projects demand immediate deployment the moment they’re approved. That’s why it’s smart to involve the right engineering partner early. HOFF • Partners in Engineering is ready to integrate seamlessly into your workflows and systems. Tailored Support Sometimes you need a full engineering package, sometimes just a few [...]
You’ve landed the contract. Great project. Solid team. Planning is in place, design team is rolling. And yet, you can already feel it coming: the phase where everything needs to happen all at once. Interior layout clashes with piping. The steel construction lacks input from electrical. Fire protection don’t match escape routes. You’re in the [...]
We’re seeing it more and more: shipyards involving us earlier in their projects. Not just because it helps spread the workload, but because it simply works better. Less hassle. Fewer surprises. More predictability. The way you approach the basic engineering phase often determines how much control you’ll have over everything that comes after. That’s exactly [...]
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 [...]
Being prepared today means delivering excellence tomorrow In 2024, we worked closely with our clients, delivering impactful projects in both yacht building, maritime (wet) infrastructure and naval architecture. As we enter 2025, we’re ready to provide the same reliable support, with the loyalty and flexibility you can always count on. Build on our expertise, 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 [...]
