Bringing the new Wajer 55 to life: One milestone at a time

One of the most defining moments in the build of any Wajer is the merging of the hull and deck. This is when the yacht truly begins to take shape.

Up untill now, both components were built and finished separately. The hull is constructed and faired in minute detail, while the deck is prepared with all necessary openings and reinforcements.

When two parts become one

Once both elements are ready, the alignment process begins: A delicate operation where every millimeter matters. At our shipyard in Heeg, the marriage is done with meticulous care. The two parts are brought together in a seamless connection. From that moment, the iconic silhouette of the yacht becomes visible for the first time, and what was once a technical assembly becomes something recognisably Wajer.

But that’s just one milestone in a longer journey. Once the hull and deck are joined together, our team continues with the next steps: the installation of systems, the interior fit-out, paintwork, finishing touches, and ultimately, the launching of the yacht into the water.

Maneuvering the yacht from the yard to her new outside habitat is a delicate process that requires precision, coordination, and expertise. It’s a true team effort, with many hands working together to guide the Wajer 55 safely into position. Moments like these highlight the real craftsmanship behind every Wajer: from engineers to detailers and logistics crew, each plays a role in making this happen.

While this launch marks a major step, the yacht is not yet finished. Over the coming weeks, final touches will be added both inside and out, from systems calibration to interior detailing. But for the first time, she’s afloat. And that means sea trials are just around the corner.
