About Us

Dehler is a well-established name in Germany and throughout the rest of the world. The name stands for safety, speed, absolute quality, high resale-value and especially innovation.

The Dehler factory is located in Meschede-Freienohl (Sauerland, Germany) and has been a builder of fast, secure sailing yachts for more than 40 years. The performance of our yachts is truly remarkable, as witnessed by our numerous regatta victories all over the world.

All of our yachts are produced fully in the factory. However, we have dealers in 21 different countries providing a truly fantastic network of after-sales service for all our owners.

Our vision revolves around "When Passion meets Reason". This means creating boats that are both exhilarating to sail but that are also safe and functional. We aim to be the leading manufacturer and marketer of luxurious regatta cruisers worldwide.

We truly believe that our customers are the most important people, and hence everything we do aims to improve the experience for all Dehler owners.

We also value our workers and hold them as our most important asset. It is the skill, hard-work and determination of all our staff that makes a Dehler yacht what it is.

Get carried away... Cast off, leave it all behind and feel freedom pulsing under your skin…That is the life for our seafarers. Following the course they have set, however strong the wind blows, and sailing, sailing, sailing… They know that their boat matches up. It is like an extension of their body, overcoming wind and tide. They dominate the elements because their passion for sailing is all that can beat the power of the sea. Challenges turn into promises, hopes into triumphs, wishes into real experiences. Dehler, your sailing companion, lets you enjoy speed with the greatest of safety. No sea can stand in your way. There is no destination you cannot reach. Prestige does not come about by chance.

Dehler has spent more than 40 years offering yachts of only the highest performance, thanks to its constant innovation and unparalleled production quality. This German brand has won many awards all over the world for its technical features aimed at every kind of sailor: those who enjoy sailing with the family and those who want to grapple with the challenges of speed.

Since December 2004, the ownership and management of the Dehler group was taken over by Wilan van den Berg. As a fanatic yachtsman he was impressed by the Dehler Yachts, brand, as well as philosophy. This, together with his broad international marketing, finance and general management experience in multi-national companies, made him decide to make Dehler his future.

Wilan van den Berg : "I liked the yachts that much, that I decided to buy the company".
