It is not just because they are massive in size or cost several fortunes, but because they are crafted with such precision and a desire to last for hundreds of years that they become more than just a boat they become something people can be passionate about.

Among the items on that list, they generally include a few yachts and sailboats which eclipse all others of the same type.
These boats are those which have become icons boats upon which all other standards of yachting perfection are measured against.

It is common knowledge that the Dutch have a rich history with the ocean. After all, The Netherlands used to be mostly underwater until they began pushing back the sea little by little.
In a town just outside Amsterdam, there is a small, but internationally known yacht crafting firm known as Holland Jachtbouw which specializes in making some of the best sailboats in the world.
Ranging in size from around eighty to one hundred and fifty feet, the custom craft constructed at Holland Jachtbouw is impressive both to the eyes and the hands.
They are designed from only the finest materials and are perfect for that millionaire who has just about everything else he or she could ever want.
While their specialty is custom boat manufacture, they will also gladly reconstruct old boats and repair any large vessels you send their way.
Founded in 1816, Hodgdon Shipbuilding is another company that specializes in crafting sailboats that are astoundingly amazing.
Even though they choose to focus their efforts on creating yachts that remind us of the old, classic days of sailing when the boats were constructed of rock-solid materials like wood and steel, their boats are absolutely incredible to set eyes on.
Having built boats for both consumers and the American government during wartime, Hodgdon is able to combine the superior technology of government sailing vessels with the classic comfort and style that is expected from a consumer yacht.
