Chaser Yachts

Chaser Yachts is the build we ask for when a programme needs a 15-metre chase platform with genuine range, full customisation from the keel up, and the confidence of Dutch boatbuilding behind it. The yard is family-owned and operated, with its roots in the Landeweer family's long association with Garlington Landeweer - the Stuart, Florida sportfishing brand the family has been connected with since 1987. That heritage in high-performance, high-sea-state construction is carried directly into the Chaser range, which is designed and built in the Netherlands.

The current catalogue runs to three platforms: the 500R, the 500CC, and the 500HE. The 500R is a 15.3-metre aluminium-hulled maxi RIB - three Mercury Verado 400R outboards, 50 knots top speed, 2,650 litres of fuel aboard, and a CE Category B certification that permits offshore passages to 200 nautical miles. The 500CC is a GRP centre-console variant of the same footprint, pushing 55 knots on the same triple-outboard package. The 500HE is a styled chase boat developed in partnership with Harrison Eidsgaard, the London-based design studio, and targets the superyacht end of the market directly.

All three builds are fully custom in every meaningful sense - layout, finish standard, propulsion choice, and deck configuration are agreed per hull. The yard positions the range explicitly as superyacht tender and chase support craft: long enough to follow a mothership independently, shallow enough to run a beach landing, and robust enough to tow. We'd put it alongside the Dutch and Scandinavian performance-RIB builders for sea-state capability; the finish level and customisation depth is closer to the bespoke Italian and British tender yards.
