Pushing the Boundaries of Design & Innovation
Designed and built by Van Dam. Naval Architecture by Michael Peters.
Our most recent project, 5-Star, kicked off in March 2022 and was launched in June 2024. The boat’s owner encouraged us to push the boundaries of creativity, design, and engineering, and we thoroughly enjoyed the challenge! This Van Dam Custom Boat showcased our most detailed build to date. Key features include an aviation-inspired cockpit chair, custom LED navigation lights, intricate metalwork on the cutwater, exhaust, and gauge cluster, fiber optic lighting, a wake-adaptive rudder system, a patent-pending push-button engine start button, and many other details. The more time spent with this boat, the more remarkable details you will discover. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
