No Limit Ships

ORIGIN & DEVELOPMENT

IT ALL STARTED WITH A DREAM!

The thrill of a dream coming true—yacht designer Evert Stel and builder Piet Wierenga knew it well. In 1996, a storm forced them to dock on Vlieland, where they spotted a KNRM rescue boat cutting through the rough Wadden Sea. One look was enough—their dream was born: to build an exceptionally seaworthy, durable, and safe vessel. After days aboard with the KNRM, the design and testing began. Confident their ship would find its owner, they founded No Limit Ships and set sail on their own adventure.

THE DREAM CAME TO LIFE!

A V-hull along the entire length of the hull and enough power for speed—no easy feat on a steel yacht. Three years of trial and error led to the launch of the demo model Meander. But once it hit the water, a buyer appeared faster than expected—from an unexpected sector. The company GasUnie tested Meander as a guard vessel on the Ems. When Rijkswaterstaat confirmed it was "the last boat to return in bad weather," No Limits quickly gained traction in the professional market, from Abu Dhabi to Siberia. This experience helped refine the model and allowed the yard to focus entirely on its original mission: building dream yachts for true adventurers.
