For decades, Akerboom has delivered reliable wireless remote controls for superyacht equipment—robust, waterproof, and capable of operating up to four components simultaneously. But in environments where timing and feedback are critical, even robust performance must be paired with clear communication.
Fifteen years after her delivery, the Feadship M.Y. Kahalani continues to exemplify the enduring quality of Dutch craftsmanship — both in design and performance. Akerboom Yacht Equipment, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, is proud to have played a role in that legacy from the beginning, supplying key systems including the gangway, transom hatch, and shaft line.
Among our valued clients is MY Mirage, Feadship build number 621—a vessel that holds a special place in Akerboom’s history. This yacht represents a significant milestone: it was the first project where Akerboom, after decades of crafting water-lubricated propeller shaft installations for working vessels, introduced an oil bath shaft system.
The 2024/2025 season is now in full swing. As Akerboom GSN looks back on the first part of the service season, we can conclude that it has been a busy period. We have been servicing or upgrading our clients' equipment to prepare them for the next sailing season. So far, we have visited more than 10 countries and carried out 93 projects at various locations, ranging from minor adjustments to major overhauls and equipment upgrades, such as extending gangways and upgrading hydraulic systems and controls to the latest standards.
At Akerboom, innovation drives everything we do. This commitment extends beyond our cutting-edge equipment and solutions—it’s embedded in how we approach service, testing, and problem-solving. By combining advanced techniques with our team's expertise, we continuously push boundaries to deliver excellence.
Sam is a vital part of our assembly team, bringing expertise to equipment installations at local shipyards and managing maintenance, repairs, and refits globally.
