Jongert is a shipyard specialized in the building of sailing yachts, located in Wieringerwerf, Netherlands.

History

The shipyard was established by Jan Jongert, Sr., in Medemblik in 1953 and produced sailing yachts between {{convert|20|m|ft|abbr=on}} and {{convert|50|m|ft|abbr=on}} in length. Between 1970 and 1994 the yard exported cumulatively in excess of half a billion guilders worth of yachts.{{citation|url=http://www.nrc.nl/handelsblad/1994/10/11/de-jongerts-bouwen-geen-boten-maar-schepen-7241640|publisher=NRC Handelsblad|author=Ben Greif|date=1994-10-11|title=De Jongerts bouwen geen boten, maar schepen}} Most of the later vessels were designed by Tony Castro and built from steel or aluminium.

Jongert went bankrupt in 2009, then restarted under the ownership of VEKA Group, led by director Peter Versluis, who acquired the shipyard as part of a consortium. The other partners in the consortium were not named at the time.{{cite web|url=https://megayachtnews.com/2009/06/jongert-veka-group/|title=Jongert Under New Ownership|first=Diane M.|last=Byrne|date=22 June 2009|publisher=Megayacht News|accessdate=16 May 2025}}{{cite web|url=http://www.rtvnoordkop.nl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15818:complex-jongert-verkocht&catid=18:nieuws&Itemid=5|title=Complex Jongert verkocht|first=Cor|last=Lont|date=1 May 2016|work=RTV Noordkop|accessdate=24 May 2016}} In 2015 the company went bankrupt again.{{cite news|url=http://fd.nl/ondernemen/1110739/roemruchte-jachtenbouwer-jongert-sluit-definitief-de-poorten|work=Het Financieele Dagblad|title=Roemruchte jachtenbouwer Jongert sluit definitief de poorten|first=Tjabel|last=Daling|date=9 July 2015|accessdate=24 May 2016}}
