In my years leading Van Berge Henegouwen (VBH), I’ve always believed that luxury is not just about what you see—it’s about how you feel in a space.

Technology, when done right, should enhance that feeling without ever becoming intrusive. That philosophy is at the heart of what we do at VBH, and it’s why we’ve developed our Digital Integration line of products.

Digital Integration is more than just connecting devices—it’s about creating an experience where technology becomes an almost invisible part of daily life onboard, always present but never disruptive. Our goal is to blend technology seamlessly with the elegance of superyacht design, elevating both functionality and the onboard lifestyle. This approach ensures that every system we design is intuitive, user-friendly, and aesthetically aligned with the luxury environment.

In a market where many focus solely on the technical "how," we focus on the "why" and "how it feels" for the end-user. We ensure that our technology doesn’t just work—it transforms. Holistic Digital Integration allows us to deliver solutions that elevate the quality of life onboard, creating a connected, effortless luxury experience for yacht owners and guests.

Reducing Our Footprint Through Smarter Technology
As much as we focus on luxury and innovation, we’re also driven by a strong sense of responsibility. The world is changing, and the expectations around sustainability are growing. We at Van Berge Henegouwen (VBH) believe that luxury and sustainability can coexist. That’s why we’ve designed our Digital Integration solutions to reduce the hardware footprint as much as possible.
Our solutions are primarily software-based, meaning they can adapt to any existing infrastructure, reducing the need for excessive hardware installations. This also allows us to resolve most technical issues remotely, minimizing the need for technicians to fly across the world. In turn, this reduces our carbon footprint and aligns with our commitment to sustainability.
Our Pitstop approach is another example of how we minimize environmental impact. By providing regular, incremental updates and maintenance, we avoid the need for lengthy technical visits or disruptive downtime. This not only keeps our clients' yachts performing at their best but also reduces the environmental strain caused by unnecessary travel.

Our Commitment to the Future
As CEO of VBH, my vision is to create technology solutions that enhance the onboard experience in every possible way. Digital Integration is a reflection of this vision. It’s about making technology a natural extension of life onboard—always there, always connected, but never overwhelming. We will continue to push the boundaries of luxury technology, delivering solutions that not only function but transform the way we live on superyachts.
