Holld presents its first carbon cat project. The Zwartsluis-based shipyard combines superyacht expertise with composite technology and plans to deliver its flagship Holld 74 in 2026.

The Dutch boat builders are celebrating their global debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival from 9 to 14 September 2025. The Zwartsluis-based company will be presenting its brand philosophy and its flagship: Holld 74.

The Holld shipyard combines decades of experience in the processing of carbon composites for the superyacht industry and is now focussing on the development of semi-custom cats. These are intended to combine advanced technology, customised design and Dutch craftsmanship.

Carbon technology for performance and comfort

The Holld 74 is currently under construction and is scheduled for delivery in 2026. The 22.5 metre long cat demonstrates the shipyard's commitment to lightweight construction and offers modular design flexibility as well as a high-quality interior in accordance with Dutch quality standards. Other concepts in the portfolio include the Holld 74 Fly and the Holld 82 and 82 Fly.

"We didn't want to build just another production multihull. We set out to redevelop the category from the ground up, with carbon and epoxy infusion, digital construction processes and an obsessive focus on precision, durability and performance with a superyacht finish," explains founder Guido Achtelik.

Holld stands for Dutch building tradition

Each catamaran is equipped with stable, lightweight hulls and on-board systems with digital controls. This combination enables high performance with greater efficiency and improved control when sailing.

"At Holld, we believe that owners shouldn't have to choose between performance and uncompromising comfort," emphasises founder Mo Ouass. "Every yacht is designed and built to reflect the owner's vision."

World premiere in Cannes

The shipyard will present itself during the Cannes Yachting Festival in Port Canto, Rosaraie /SAIL142, and invites owners, brokers, designers and media representatives to get to know its design-to-deliver philosophy. Interested parties can arrange private appointments.

Holld was founded in Zwartsluis, a region known for its shipbuilding excellence. The company brings together a multidisciplinary team of engineers, designers and carbon specialists.
