Saffier Yachts

Saffier Maritiem BV is a family business of the Hennevanger Brothers. Richard, the father, owned a shipyard in Australia, sold the company and returned to the Netherlands to build a yacht for himself. With this yacht, the family Hennevanger sailed around the world for eight years. Back in the Netherlands, Richard found a job in boat construction. For the first few years he worked mainly in shipping and fishery. In the late1980s he shifted his activities increasingly towards the construction of yachts. His sons, Dennis and Dean, took over the company in the mid-90s. In the meantime, Saffier Maritiem had developed into a full-fledged shipyard.
