Founder LEKKER Boats

LEKKER Boats is a Dutch boat manufacturer specializing in high-performance, easy-handling handcrafted aluminum vessels. Founded by Meindert Wolfraad, the brand is known for its functional design and seamless blend of speed, durability, and comfort.

Lightweight. Comfortable. Super fast

Each LEKKER boat is built in the Netherlands using only aluminum, ensuring exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, low maintenance, and long-lasting durability. This allows for high speeds, precise handling, and a smooth ride—making LEKKER boats ideal for both exhilarating performance and relaxed cruising.

The fleet includes models like the LEKKER 45, LEKKER 38, Damsko 1000, and Damsko 750, designed to accommodate up to 25 passengers. With powerful engines capable of reaching speeds up to 57 knots (106 km/h), these boats are not only perfect for leisure but also serve as ideal yacht tenders or the perfect chase boat for larger vessels.

Combining Dutch craftsmanship with innovative design, LEKKER Boats has gained international recognition, with over 230 boats sailing in waters from Sydney to Miami Beach and the Mediterranean. Whether for exploring coastal waters, island-hopping, or supporting superyachts, LEKKER Boats delivers an unmatched experience—allowing people worldwide to enjoy the water “the Amsterdam way.”

Benefits of aluminium

Lightweight: Aluminium boats are significantly lighter than their fibreglass or steel counterparts. This makes them easier to transport and manoeuvre both on land and in the water. It also means better fuel efficiency and lower running costs.

Durable: Aluminium is highly resistant to corrosion, making it a durable choice for boats.

Low in maintenance, high in pleasure. Compared to other materials like polyester, aluminium boats require minimal maintenance.

Strong: Aluminium is a strong material that provides structural integrity to the boat. This strength allows aluminium boats to handle rough waters and impacts better than some other materials.

Recyclable: Aluminium is highly recyclable, which makes it a more environmentally friendly choice. An aluminium boat can be recycled instead of ending up in a landfill.

Custom design: Aluminium boats can be easily customized to suit the owner’s preferences.
