The Sunday Drive Club: An Exclusive Visit to Balk Shipyard

On Sunday, March 30th, The Sunday Drive Club set off on a memorable journey to Balk Shipyard in Urk. With a history dating back to 1798, Balk Shipyard is a leader in superyacht refits and rebuilds, combining tradition with innovation.

The day started at LeClub with coffee and good company before we embarked on a scenic drive to Urk. Upon arrival, we enjoyed an insightful presentation on the shipyard’s history, expertise, and standout projects, deepening our appreciation for their craftsmanship.

Next, we toured the impressive facilities, stepping aboard a large aluminum sailing yacht under construction and learning about Balk’s advanced boat lift system. Their unique approach to yacht refits and cutting-edge techniques set them apart in the industry.

We concluded the visit with drinks and great conversations before heading back on another picturesque drive. It was a day filled with automotive passion, craftsmanship, and new connections—another unforgettable chapter for The Sunday Drive Club.
