Refit of Exclusive 1600

In addition to new builds, maintenance and repair work, Van den Hoven is regularly asked to carry out refits. This was recently the case with a Van den Hoven Exclusive 1600, which was thoroughly revamped by Van den Hoven in 2025.

The new owner of the Exclusive 1600, which was originally launched way back in 2002, bought his motoryacht last year and was so enthusiastic about the vessel that he decided to have her completely adapted to his personal tastes and preferences. For example, the new owner has had new spud poles installed, the bathroom completely renovated, the interior given a fresher look, a new air conditioning system and new lithium batteries installed, and state-of-the-art Raymarine navigation screens installed.

Harry van den Berg on the entire process

“It was primarily the way Van den Hoven treats its clients that impressed me. I would particularly like to mention the excellent collaboration regarding creativity and the ability to seriously contribute ideas. But also how they were able to go along with the crazy ideas I sometimes have. Incidentally, I found the family DNA throughout the entire workplace in everyone who works there. Remarkable.”
