DESIGN by DAMEN • Damen is an international shipyard group but at its heart, they are still a family company. They operate in every niche market where they see an opportunity to improve, innovate or invest. In everything they develop, they always aim for what their customers need and what they wish for. That counts for their building activities as well as services. They listen carefully to customers and they invest a great deal in innovation, research and development. That’s why they build better boats.
