Jongert is a shipyard specialized in the building of sailing yachts, located in Wieringerwerf, Netherlands.

History

The shipyard was established by Jan Jongert, Sr., in Medemblik in 1953 and produced sailing yachts between 20 m (66 ft) and 50 m (160 ft) in length. Between 1970 and 1994 the yard exported cumulatively in excess of half a billion guilders worth of yachts.[1] Most of the later vessels were designed by Tony Castro and built from steel or aluminium.

Jongert went bankrupt in 2009, then restarted under the ownership of VEKA.[2] In 2015 the company went bankrupt again.[3]

In 2016 the shipyard in Wieringerwerf was sold.[4] In 2016 the company is active.[5][6]
