From the first pen stroke to the first sea trial, building a Wajer is a journey defined by precision, craftsmanship, and innovation. Each phase brings its own set of milestones, moments that mark real progress in transforming an idea into a real-life Wajer.

One of the most defining moments in the build of any Wajer is the merging of the hull and deck. This is when the yacht truly begins to take shape.

Up untill now, both components were built and finished separately. The hull is constructed and faired in minute detail, while the deck is prepared with all necessary openings and reinforcements.

When two parts become one

Once both elements are ready, the alignment process begins: A delicate operation where every millimeter matters. At our shipyard in Heeg, the marriage is done with meticulous care. The two parts are brought together in a seamless connection. From that moment, the iconic silhouette of the yacht becomes visible for the first time, and what was once a technical assembly becomes something recognisably Wajer.

The merging of the deck and the hull

But that’s just one milestone in a longer journey. Once the hull and deck are joined together, our team continues with the next steps: the installation of systems, the interior fit-out, paintwork, finishing touches and ultimately, extensive testing.
