History
The shipyard was established by Jan Jongert, Sr., in Medemblik in 1953 and produced sailing yachts between 20 m (66 ft) and 50 m (160 ft) in length. Between 1970 and 1994 the yard exported cumulatively in excess of half a billion guilders worth of yachts. Most of the later vessels were designed by Tony Castro and built from steel or aluminium.
Jongert went bankrupt in 2009, then restarted under the ownership of VEKA. In 2015 the company went bankrupt again.
In 2016 the shipyard in Wieringerwerf was sold. In 2016 the company is active.
On January 19th 2017 they announced they found a new invester, following the failed takeover of the yard by Acico. Together with the Vripack design studio they are working on a 47 m (154 ft) motor yacht project.
