Ibis

This is Ibis
Feadship has always enjoyed repeat clients. The story of the 13.00-metre Ibis is a case in point. For years, Mr Van Holthe had enjoyed his motoryacht Robert Jan, built in 1933 in Aalsmeer. Now he wanted a larger yacht and had it designed by H.W. de Voogt. Van Holthe insisted that his yacht would not have too much draught and have sufficient seaworthiness to possibly cross the North Sea on a whim should he so choose. When launched in 1949 Ibis wrote history for the shipyard as the first steel motor yacht built to order after the World War I.
