Can a driver take me from RAI Amsterdam to the Feadship yard in Makkum and back in one day?
Yes. Feadship’s Makkum yard (Strânwei 6, in Friesland) is about 114 km by road from RAI Amsterdam — roughly an hour and a half each way on an empty road — so a return trip with a visit fits comfortably in a day. Book the car by the hour from Amsterdam: 7 hours in Business Class is €455 and includes 280 km, enough for the roughly 230 km round trip, with the car waiting at the yard.

Related questions
How long does it take to drive from Amsterdam to Makkum?
About 114 km from the RAI. A routing engine puts it at roughly an hour and a half on an empty road; morning traffic out of Amsterdam adds to that. We will publish measured times for this route when we have enough of our own rides to do so.
Can I combine Makkum with Royal Huisman in Vollenhove?
Yes, as a long day: about 290 km in total from the RAI. Book at least 8 hours (€520 in Business Class, 320 km included). See several yards in one day.
Is a one-way ride cheaper?
One way from the RAI is about €390 in Business Class, but the car does not wait and you need a way back. For a visit and return, the hourly day at €65 an hour is usually the better deal.
