CONTEST YACHTS – A PASSION FOR YACHT BUILDING
Contest Yachts has been led by three generations of the Conijn family over the past half-century and more. The past decade has been marked by increasing innovation, including the delivery of the first mini-superyacht Contest 72CS. The company continues to meet client demands, while consistently retaining the image of quality and craftsmanship that has given the yard such global renown.
“Our current company philosophy is based on the key values Life. Style. Sailing,” says Director Arjen Conijn. “Performance and design have become vital focal points, while considerable attention is also paid to branding. While the quality of our product will always be our number one priority, brand association is increasingly important and we have addressed this issue head on. Good examples are the Contest Cup in Medemblik, Zeeland and Mallorca, events that are organised for Contest sailors each year.”
