Can I visit several Dutch superyacht yards in one day with a driver?
Yes, if you group them by region: Feadship’s yards in Amsterdam, Aalsmeer and Kaag are all within about 35 km of RAI Amsterdam, so two or three visits fit in one day, while Makkum, Vollenhove, Alblasserdam and Oss are each 85–120 km away. A chauffeur held by the hour from Amsterdam is €65 an hour in Business Class (minimum 2 hours, 40 km included per hour), and the car waits at every yard.

Car and chauffeur by the hour, starting and ending in Amsterdam
| Option | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Business Class, held by the hour from Amsterdam | €65 / hour | per hour · minimum 2 hours · 40 km included per hour · E-Class, EQE, EQE SUV, BMW i5, BMW 5 Series · up to 3 passengers, 3 bags |

An hourly booking must start and end in the same city, so yard days are booked from and back to Amsterdam (your hotel or the RAI). Kilometers beyond the included 40 per hour are charged at the class’s per-kilometer rate. Prices are per car, not per person, with 9% Dutch VAT included, and the same day and night. Booked less than 12 hours before pickup: +10%. At Schiphol the first 60 minutes of waiting are free, elsewhere 15 minutes; after that waiting is charged per minute at the class's hourly rate (Business €65 an hour). Free cancellation up to 1 hour before pickup.

What is included in the price
- The same car and chauffeur all day; the car waits at each yard
- Bags, coats and paperwork stay in the car between visits
- Routing between yards planned by dispatch around your appointment times
- Black, unbadged cars; chauffeurs who don’t take photographs or discuss clients
How a yard day is arranged
- Fix the appointments with the yards. Visits run on the yards’ terms; send us the times and the gate or visitor entrance they give you.
- We size the booking. Hours to cover the driving plus your visits, and kilometers that fit inside the included allowance where possible.
- Pickup at your hotel or the RAI. The chauffeur waits on site at each yard and messages you if anything changes.
- Back in Amsterdam. In time for dinner or the next show day; the booking ends where it started.
Related questions
Which yards can I combine in one morning?
Feadship’s Aalsmeer and Kaag yards are about 24 km apart, and Aalsmeer is about 20 km from the RAI, so both fit in a morning; a 5-hour Business Class booking is €325 with 200 km included.
Can I do Makkum and Vollenhove on the same day?
Yes. The two northern yards are about 75 km apart by road, and the whole loop from the RAI and back is close to 290 km — a full working day that an 8-hour hire (€520 in Business Class) covers.
Can the driver start at Schiphol instead of Amsterdam?
For a one-way trip to a yard, yes, priced per kilometer and fixed at booking. For a day that returns to Schiphol, ask dispatch; hourly bookings are set up to start and end in the same city.
Do your chauffeurs know the yards?
Feadship’s Amsterdam and Aalsmeer yards are addresses our chauffeurs already drive to. For the others, we drive to the address and entrance the yard confirms to you.
