Vitters

Founded 30 years ago, Vitters is a family-owned-and-managed shipyard. The in-house team works closely with specialist subcontractors and suppliers. Vitters’ operation comprises some 80 skilled and dedicated employees, including engineers, craftsmen, a foremen and project managers backed up by support departments. 

The business model relies on subcontracting larger parts of the yacht. Subcontractors’ work is treated as an integral part of the Vitters’ responsibility. Having the opportunity to match a specific job with the right supplier, gives Vitters the opportunity to pick the best specialist for the project, at precisely the time when it is needed, giving an efficient, optimum overall result. 

When they pioneered this way of working in the early nineties, it was quite revolutionary. Today, it has become the industry norm.
