Authentic Dutch class on the water – the Dolman cruiser

The name Dolman cruiser does not stand for just any boat, but for a piece of floating heritage. These classic Dutch motor yachts originate from the Dolman Brothers, who brought their craftsmanship to life at Yachtwerf 'IJsselmeer' in Muiden.

Even before and shortly after the Second World War, characterful steel cruisers were built here: robust, elegant and designed with a timeless line that still evokes admiration today. Think of foredeck cruisers, tenders and saloon boats – each with its own appearance, but all with the same recognisable Dolman signature.

What truly makes these boats special is their unique character. There is no such thing as a standard Dolman cruiser. Every boat tells its own story, often adapted and refined over the years. That makes every Dolman not just a vessel, but a personal possession with history and soul.

Why choose a Dolman cruiser?

  • Authentic Dutch craftsmanship
  • Timeless classic design
  • Steel build quality that lasts for generations
  • Unique character – no two ships are the same

A Dolman cruiser is not a mass product, but an investment in style, history and experience on the water.

In short:
Dolman cruisers are built in the Netherlands by the Dolman Brothers at Yachtwerf 'IJsselmeer' in Muiden – and today are a beloved choice for enthusiasts of classic motor yachts.
