Building superyachts together

The hiring company

De Vlijt was founded in 2018 as part of Group Royal De Vries Shipbuilding. We have since become the hiring company for both the De Vries companies and the Royal Van Lent Shipyard yards. Together, these two groups of companies build the most beautiful and innovative superyachts in the world: Feadships.

All hands on deck

The construction process of a single yacht is complex. Organizing the work for multiple yachts being built simultaneously requires "all hands on deck. Temporary, professional reinforcement can really make a difference. At the right time, in the right place and sometimes for very specific work. In total, De Vlijt hires more than 1,100 temporary workers, subcontractors and freelancers in all kinds of positions for all its member companies every year. Of course we go for the best. For them, we also put our best foot forward.

Being a good employer

The name 'De Vlijt' does not come out of the blue; it stands for quality and continuity. Here's the thing. About a hundred years ago the second generation De Vries called their yard in Aalsmeer 'De Vlijt' for a while. People worked at this yard with pleasure and craftsmanship. Successive generations shared their passion for 'building boats' with the craftsmen who made something beautiful with them. With a personal relationship to each yacht: 'Look, that window, that piece of deck I built'. It is the link that connects the customer and the builders. Today's De Vlijt refers to quality and continuity, and to that human value. It is the backbone of our business. Together we are proud of every yacht that sails out. Being a good employer goes without saying. Also for the people who temporarily work for and with us. In addition, De Vlijt guarantees proper compliance with laws and regulations.
