REPUTATION Shipyards with a good reputation often acknowledge that history has played a major role in their modern day success servicing superyachts. One prime example
would be the Balk Shipyard. Ever since the shipyard was founded in 1798 by Sijbrand Balk it has been run by a member of the Balk family. Generation after generation, the yard has been passed on from father to son. Now, 222 years and 7 generations later, Daan Balk is at the helm of the yard on the island of Urk in the Netherlands. Over the years, the family has built up and maintained some great connections between Balk Staff and owners, managers, captains and crew and like to think that mouth to mouth advertising between for example the captain of one yacht to another contributes to the gaining of new customers.
