Balk Shipyard
Seven generations of experience
A family-run yard since the 1700s, Balk shipyard has enormous historical pedigree to back up its 21st-century facilities. Today Balk offers the world’s most modern and efficient refit and rebuild operation for superyachts. The yard’s design and logistics reflect the fact that major refits are Balk’s core business.
World’s finest refit facilities
Opened in 2007 after a multi-million refurbishment, our construction halls and workshops are state of the art. The ongoing investments recently included a brand-new paint spraying cabin, which offers an unprecedented degree of excellence. Uniquely for this part of the world, the slipway installation lifts vessels of up to 1200 tons out of the water. Balk Shipyard is less than a one-hour drive from Amsterdam. Owners say they enjoy having their boat overhauled with us because of the unique price quality ratio. And captains speak highly of their time spent here in historical Urk.
Premium Dutch quality
All Balk employees have rich experience in the superyacht industry and are used to taking a project-based approach. Working with some of the finest comakers in Holland, Balk also has dedicated in-house departments for metalwork, carpentry, painting and other keynote disciplines. Almost every aspect of your refit/rebuild can be handled in-house. From extending the superstructure to relaying the deck, from repairing navigation equipment to decorating a cabin, from installing the latest systems to complete engine overhauls, we have the expertise you require.
Construction and maintenance
Balk also builds major aluminium superstructure parts for leading superyacht yards and offers a full range of repair and maintenance services.
