Third generation boat builders
B-Craft guarantees craftsmanship thanks to our generation-overlapping experience and passion, from our partners Vennekens and CMDL, experts in the area of custom boat bulding.
B-Craft is the realisation of our dream. This first model is the Akoya named after a Japanese pearl. These Japanese pearls translate to 'children of the sea' and are known for their beautiful champagne undertone and their perfectly round shape.
B-Craft Akoya combines the power and versitility of a ski-/wakeboat with the luxury and comfort of a yacht and offers you the best of these worlds. You will find the latest technologies on board with ultimate automation and durable materials. Did we mention we are the first European builder to offer the Volvo Penta Forward Drive?

Sustainable

Pure freedom
No need to have your water holiday in the same place all the time. The B-Craft is fit for trailers and is perfectly seaworthy. This means you can get anywhere, anytime you want to. Tow it behind your car or store it in your superyacht garage. Where are you taking your B-Craft Akoya first?
Boats in the harbor are safe, but that is not what they are meant for.

Passion.
The secret ingredient of B-Craft is undoubtedly passion. A passion for water. A passion for flowing lines. A passion for building floating master pieces.
A passion for perfection.
The profile hides the power that lives inside the B-Craft Akoya. She radiates times of opulence, opportunity and riviera lifestyle & fashion with an elegant, yet broad-shouldered stance. As soon as she starts to move, the soft lines suddenly change into bolts of action. The silence becomes the storm. And no storm ever felt so good.
The character of the B-Craft lurks in her rest, as well as her action. Form and function perfectly blended together.
A blank canvas... has unlimited possibilities.

With the B-Craft Akoya, we offer you a semi-custom platform: we provide a base, our character, while you take care of the finishing touches. How you do that, is completely up to you. We gather your input and go to work with it. There are no limits, only challenges and opportunities. Do you want a different lay-out, other specs or even another size? It is all possible.
We're open to wild ideas, such as:
- Underwater LEDs
- Underwater Cameras
- Rocket launchers (for fishing poles)
- Personalised harpoon set
- …
Together with your inspiration, we get to work on your customised B-Craft Akoya. We will always try to this in the most durable way. With that promise, we would work with resin containing recycled plastic bottles, or consider engine choices that benefit the goal for a better environment.
We can produce everything to your specific wants and needs, because we have the latest technologies at our disposal. We can even 3D print the furniture.
The only limit is your own imagination.
