Frederik (Frits) de Voogt

(Haarlem, 21 augustus 1927 – aldaar, 20 december 2023)

The former Feadship director, naval architect and yacht designer had a decades-long career that followed in the footsteps of his father, Henri de Voogt, who died in 1958 and left the studio in the hands of his son.

Mr de Voogt was the grand master of De Voogt Naval Architects for decades. Together with his team, he shaped the dreams of demanding Feadship customers.

The designs were unique and are still the basis of today's Feadship yachts. Even after his retirement, he remained involved and interested in yacht building, always astute and always modest.

Frits de Voogt retired in 1995 and went on to win a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Showboat Design Awards in 2016.

Thank's to You, There are yachts and there are Feadships...

My sincere condolences to family, friends, and colleagues,

Rest in Power !
