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 specific drawings or calculations. We adapt. Our involvement is as extensive or limited as required and always aligned with your way of working and your tools.

You can count on us as an extension of your engineering team or organization. From our office in Papendrecht, we work with a small band specialized team and a large network of suppliers across various yacht and shipbuilding projects.

We’re hands-on, and our engineers keep you personally updated on progress.

Practical and Results-Oriented

Efficiency is key, it saves time and avoids errors. We ask the right questions, provide practical input, and deliver clear, buildable designs. Even after the work is done, we remain available so you can move forward quickly if updates or adjustments are needed later on.

Our Way of Working

We follow a clear structure so everyone knows what to expect:

  1. Intake and planning
  2. Kick-off and alignment
  3. Engineering phase
  4. Regular updates
  5. Initial delivery
  6. Joint review
  7. Final delivery
  8. Post-project support

Our Capabilities

We’re strong in basic engineering, but our support goes further:

  • Detail engineering: turning concepts into execution-ready designs
  • Naval architecture: structural calculations and technical validation
  • Technical consultancy: clear, targeted reports
  • Project coordination: managing interfaces between all stakeholders

We’re used to coordinating with shipyards, suppliers, and design teams. We make sure things keep moving, and we use our broad network to find the right solution for your project. Our multidisciplinary expertise is your biggest asset.

Why Partner-up Early?

Once a project starts, things need to move fast. You don’t want to lose time looking for resources or ramping up. By connecting with us now, you ensure we’re ready to go when the time comes.

We know the industry, speak your language, and understand exactly where we can add value.
