Akerboom featured in Onboard Magazine

Akerboom Yacht Equipment is featured in the Spring 2026 edition of Onboard Magazine, highlighting how the company combines engineering, craftsmanship and service throughout the lifecycle of a yacht.

Akerboom has been developing onboard yacht equipment since 1986, focused on systems that simply work. Often unnoticed in use, but essential to the safe and reliable operation of a yacht.

Today, Akerboom systems are in operation on a global fleet of more than 180 yachts. This position is built on long-term collaboration with shipyards, captains, engineers and crew, both during new build projects and in service afterwards.

A key part of the story is Akerboom’s close involvement after delivery. Through its Global Service Network, the team stays connected to yachts worldwide and gathers feedback from daily operations. These insights are used directly in engineering and product development.

The article also features the development of Akerboom’s remote control with integrated display. This gives operators clear, real-time feedback when using equipment such as gangways, cranes and mooring platforms, making operation more intuitive and predictable.

Combined with the company’s frequency-driven hydraulic systems, known for their smooth and quiet performance, clear feedback becomes even more important during operation.

With a team of around 120 specialists, Akerboom continues to develop solutions that fit naturally within modern yacht design and support reliable operation throughout a yacht’s lifecycle.
