WHAT MAKES A GOOD SAILMAKER?
Sailmaker De Vries Maritiem is not the only sailmaker in the Netherlands, but it is the oldest! Our good name lives on for almost 2 centuries. We are well known in the water sports towns of Lemmer, Makkum and Sneek and the rest of the Netherlands. But what makes a good sailmaker?
In our opinion, first of all, passion for water sports is very important. If you don't know why people go out on the water, if you've never been in a boat, it's hard to imagine why water sports enthusiasts value high-quality materials, excellent functionality and beautiful designs so much.
Delivering high quality and support in making choices for each boat, we can do that like no other. This makes our sail making facility the best sail making facility in the Netherlands. We have an extensive choice of different materials, so we can always make a good proposal for the requirements and associated budget.
Craft and skills are another important element. There is no training for sail making. Setting up and running a sailmaking shop is a real craft.
Finally, we believe that being able to listen well to customers and translate wishes into a strong design is one of the most important skills of a good sailmaker. Our customers ensure the survival of our company. Without satisfied customers, we cannot exist for 200 years. Our sail making company has the customer's interest at heart.
WE GO THROUGH ALL KINDS OF THINGS

RICH HISTORY OF SAIL MAKING IN FRIESLAND
In our history the merger in 2013 was an important step. Two renowned Dutch sail making companies, Zeilmakerij de Vries and Maritiem Sails, decided that working together and innovating was better suited to these times than competing with each other. A remarkable step, which has turned out very well.
Sailmaker De Vries Maritime is still located in Lemmer, currently at Vuurtorenweg 1. Here we have our own harbor next to our building. Our connection with the water is present everywhere!
