Our founder has always had a deep affinity with watersports, inspiring a lifetime of passion dedicated to life at sea. Bas brings unparalleled expertise to Stratos, having served 40 years delivering extraordinary yachts with exceptional service as CEO of the renowned Lengers Yachts. It is Bas’s leadership that ensures strong relationships with every customer, with the ability to turn purchases into lifelong, family-like bonds with clients.
His unmatched grip on the industry is demonstrated by his phenomenal sales ability: he has consistently proven to be one of the world’s top sellers for leading brands like Sanlorenzo, Prestige and Sacs. Pursuing a lifelong dream to develop his own yachting brand, Bas saw the perfect opportunity to bring this vision to life when he identified a clear gap in the market. To create a resiliently tough vessel that combined robust strength with unmatched seaworthiness: luxury yachts built on a superyacht level. And thus Stratos was born: luxury yachts that Bas can say with immense pride are the most seaworthy vessels in their class.
“We only choose partners who excel in their profession on a superyacht level, ensuring a perfect match. At Stratos, time is not of the essence — we build the yacht to perfection, down to the finest details. That’s why Stratos is not for everyone, as we build a limited number of vessels each year, so we ensure that we provide no less than the very finest yachts in their class”.
Bernd draws on his extensive cross-sector knowledge to push design boundaries that delight clients. Having always had a deep devotion to all aspects of design, from architecture to automotive, he mastered his skills to perfection in Italy, before establishing his own independent design studio in 2013 specialising in custom yacht design for motor yachts.
Bernd has built an impressive portfolio having worked among the most prestigious professionals in the yachting industry and loves to inspire the client through direct involvement in the process, providing authentic hand-drawn sketches of their dream vessel, which are then developed into high-quality 3D surface models.
“Stratos is undoubtedly one of the projects I’m most proud of. It was a thrill to work closely alongside the highly accomplished and innovative Stratos team, as we could easily bounce off new and unique design ideas with one another. We also all strived towards a common goal: of never compromising on producing the very best possible design solution for this remarkable vessel”.
Jeroen’s fascination with yachting became clear from a young age: at just 10 years old he was already helping to wash boats. This soon turned into studying shipbuilding at university, and now Jeroen is an acclaimed naval architect for Stratos Yachts, making masterpieces of innovation with the dedicated team.
Jeroen is also the co-founder of Amsterdam-based naval architect company Sea Level B.V. and has more than 24 years of experience specialising in high-performance boats, composite engineering and feature integration for superyachts. He boasts an impressive portfolio of clients too, including Feadship and Heesen Yachts.
“Stratos is a particularly special project for me, as the engineering and detailing often go further than the superyacht standards. Every decision is based on what is the best possible result, not the best possible price. We’ve built up a committed team with a shared dedication to creating this wonderful vessel, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it”.
For Production Manager Erwin, yachting has been a big part of his life from a young age, having been born into a family passionate about yachting — even with a harbour at home! Prior to joining Stratos, Erwin honed his craft for 10 years as an engineer at Lengers Yachts, working with many renowned international brands on a technical level.
“In my years of expertise, I’ve noticed that the most beautifully designed vessels are often lacking on a technical level, which is detrimental to their sailing characteristics and ease of use. This is dramatically different at Stratos, where there are no limits. Down to even the smallest of details we go above and beyond what is expected, ensuring the ultimate level of freedom at sea for our clients. Dutch yacht building truly excels and we aim to rise above superyacht standards with Stratos.”
