In 1695, the Dutch East India Company built the Vryburg in the city of Middelburg.
In those days it was quite common for a ship not to return from a voyage to the East. The Vryburg proved to be resilient. This ship was in service for 27 years, making many successful roundtrips.
In 2010, Vryburg Yachting started construction of the PB-58, inspired by the success of her predecessor. In 2014 we launched the PB-61.
Both yachts are real eyecatchers due to their tough looks and robust design. Stepping inside the saloon and cabins you will encounter a surprisingly light and luxurious interior with all the modern comforts one can wish for. The cutting-edge hull design ensures fuel economy, which, combination with the large fuel tanks, allows for Atlantic crossings.
At Vryburg Yachting our focus is on our 3 key values: Comfort, Safety and of course Happiness.
Comfort is everywhere on board of a Vryburg yacht. This starts with a spacious saloon, equipped with a host of amenities. Also the other cabins -and even in the engine room- our focus has been on comfort.
Safety is in our DNA and we focus on it from the first draft till the last screw. This starts with a, really seaworthy, round bilge hull design. Although many of the equipment is very advanced, we will only work with suppliers who have an excellent track record. On top off that we'll make sure that all the vital systems are redundant, preventing any single point of failures.
Happiness is the reason why people sail in the first place. Our yachts can be sailed with a crew of just 2 people which gives you a great deal of flexibility and freedom. Additionally, we make sure you can enjoy your trip in silence through extensive noise reduction measures.
With the Vryburg PB-61 we are setting a new standard in the yachting industry. It combines the comfort of a mega yacht with the freedom of being able to sail it with a small crew. This is a real mini-mega yacht. The beautiful and tough looks are designed by Pieter Beeldsnijder.
