Passenger Vessels that look like Yachts
The world-famous yacht designers at judel/vrolijk & Co can actually also design commercial ships – as demonstrated by some unusual passenger ships that have been styled by the yacht designers from Germany.
The design office of judel/vrolijk & Co is above all else known for the fast and successful racing yachts that have been created here, over decades, ranging from Admiral’s Cup yachts to the America’s Cup – one of the company’s founders, Rolf Vrolijk, also was principal designer for Team Alinghi over several years. Then, more and more superyachts were designed here, also some motor yachts. Less known is the fact that this versatile firm also designs commercial vessels, such as passenger ships for inland lakes, as recently presented on the trade fair “SMM” (Shipping, Engines and Marine Technology) in Hamburg.
