Aquatec Industries, based in Friesland, is the Netherlands’ leading builder of launches. With the modern Antaris, the exclusive Makma and the classic Maril, Aquatec Industries has something to suit every sailor. All of its boats can be viewed in a 1,500 m² indoor showroom in Woudsend, where Aquatec Industries stages its own, attractive, in-water boat show all year round.

485Anyone in search of a genuine Dutch launch or cruiser has come to the right place. Dutch yachtbuilders are known for producing the highest quality and Aquatec Industries shows why. The Antaris, Makma and Maril launches are entirely designed and constructed in the Netherlands. Even the GRP for the hulls is manufactured in this small country. To provide watersport enthusiasts with a good impression of its range, Aquatec Industries has the most impressive showroom in the Netherlands. All models can be viewed in their natural habitat, in the water, allowing interested visitors to step onboard at once and take a test sail through the idyllic Woudsend landscape.

If the launch feels comfortable and stable but needs a few small adjustments to fully meet its prospective owner’s wishes, the yard can make all necessary alterations on site. In fact, all launches can be built according to the client’s specifi c requirements. If you enjoy sailing in the Netherlands and its neighbouring countries, you also need look no further for maintenance, service and winter storage. Aquatec Industries and its dealers offer the total package. Alongside a large dealer network in the Netherlands, Aquatec is also represented in Germany, England and Sweden.

The innovative Antaris481
Antaris launches are the epitome of style and design. This colourful and fashionable range always features a comprehensive set of equipment. For this reason, Antaris launches have been considered top of the range for more than 20 years. You can relax comfortably on an Antaris or cruise at speed, enjoying the wind in your hair and the power that the boat delivers.

Antaris launches are also well known for their excellent sailing properties and stability. The GRP hull ensures that you experience optimal sailing pleasure with no concerns about maintenance. In addition, each Antaris offers plenty of legroom and maximum seating comfort for longer journeys. In short, the Antaris stands for comfortable and carefree sailing.

Innovation is one of the highest priorities in the Antaris series and this is highly appreciated by owners: the Antaris Sixty6 and Fifty5, both introduced by Aquatec Industries in recent years, are incredibly popular. In November 2014, an Antaris Seventy7 was added to the series. This is slightly bigger than the previous models and, yet again, a pioneer in terms of trends and design. The Antaris Seventy7 comes in two versions, with cabin and without (sport version).

The exclusive Makma483
The Makma series proves that launches can also distinguish themselves on the water. This series of high-end launches strives for perfection. They are notable for their luxurious appearance and high quality of workmanship. Anyone who sails a Makma does so in exclusive style.

There are also plenty of options from which to choose within the Makma range. The series includes various models; the Lounge Vlet, the Tender Vlet and the Caribbean 31 and 36 cabin cruisers. The Makma Lounge Vlet is ideal for relaxing while the Tender Vlet is a launch with as much power as you could wish for, providing the ultimate feeling of freedom. The Makma Caribbeans started the trend for XL weekend launches and remain unsurpassed.

Each Makma model has its own identity but remains unmistakeably a Makma. Indeed, each launch offers exclusivity, spaciousness, comfort, stability, reliability and character. With a Makma you experience pure enjoyment!

The practical Maril484
With its fine sailing properties, comfort, safety and quality, the Maril has been a highly desirable launch for the past 20 years. Just as with the Antaris and Makma, a passion for watersports is evident in each and every Maril launch and that makes for good sailing.

The most characteristic Maril launch is the classic series, which is instantly recognisable, even from afar, and timeless. The layout is practical and each launch incorporates ample storage space. High backrests provide plenty of seating comfort and these launches once again demonstrate that their builders are masters in the field of stable launches with high-quality workmanship.

482The wide assortment available within the Maril range includes the 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 series, offering the ideal launch for any intended use. The 5 series comprises the smallest models but still offers a surprising amount of space and comfort, despite its modest measurements. A handy between-size can be found in the Maril 6.25,
which is one of the most popular and best-selling models in the Netherlands. Anyone planning to spend several days in a row on the water can choose from the larger models with a cabin. These offer a full range of equipment for sailing during the day and overnight comfort. In short, a balanced assortment that offers plenty of freedom of choice.
