YYACHTS EXPANDS IN THE US

17 February 2025 | Company

YYachts GmbH is proud to announce a new partnership with Rodgers Yacht Sales LLC, solidifying their presence in the U.S. market. Led by Bob Rodgers, Rodgers Yacht Sales LLC has been a trusted name in the yacht industry since 1987, representing prestigious brands such as X-Yachts of Denmark, Latitude 46 of France, and Baltic Yachts from Finland. Now, Rodgers Yacht Sales will be the exclusive U.S. representative for YYachts, bringing the German brand’s high-performance luxury yachts to American sailors.

Bob Rodgers expressed his enthusiasm for this collaboration: “We are incredibly excited about this new partnership with YYachts. Their portfolio perfectly aligns with our loyal customer base, who are consistently looking to upgrade to larger, higher-quality vessels. YYachts’ exceptional engineering, premium craftsmanship, and outstanding sailing performance make them an ideal choice for American sailors seeking their next step in yachting.”

Tijl Hetterschijt, Managing Director of YYachts, shared his optimism about this strategic expansion: “We are thrilled to welcome Bob and his team to represent YYachts in the U.S. Over the past few years, we have sold several yachts to American clients, and we are confident this partnership will lead to significant growth in the region. Our production capacity has steadily increased, with seven to nine yachts being built annually, depending on size. While the majority of our sales are currently in Europe, we are seeing rising demand from the U.S. market. With Bob’s expertise and team, we are convinced this collaboration will be a great success.”

In addition to sales, Rodgers Yacht Sales will provide service and support for existing and new YYachts owners through their network of locations across the U.S. The partnership will also strengthen YYachts’ longstanding collaboration with Bill Tripp, who remains actively involved in sales and as a lead designer for several YYachts models.

YYachts looks forward to a prosperous relationship with Rodgers Yacht Sales and warmly welcomes Bob Rodgers and his team to the family. Together, they are committed to delivering world-class yachts and exceptional service to American clients.
