The Story
Built byCraftsmen, Sailedby Enthusiasts
In 2009, the COOPERYACHT brand was founded with the launch of the classic COOPER745. Following the success of this model, the COOPER800 was introduced soon after and grew to become a true favourite among COOPER customers.
In 2019, the COOPER680 came to market and was immediately named 'Boat of the Year 2020' the following year, having been chosen as the most ideal yacht for Dutch waters. Easy to handle, elegant lines and a true family boat.
For COOPER owners who wanted a greater range with more onboard comfort, a multiday cruiser was developed — the COOPER1000.
Since its founding, the company in the Netherlands has grown from two to 15 people, and a service and maintenance department was established for its customers in the Netherlands. At our shipyard in Cambodia, more than 60 people now work, having built all our beautiful boats.
Over the years, more than 750 COOPERs have been built and can be found on various (international) waters.
