André Heiligers’s passion for yachting began to develop while sailing with friends in Hamburg back in 1995. He wanted to know everything about boats – design, construction, engineering, operations.

After completing his education Ship Building, Oceanography and Yacht Design, André took on a project engineering position with Meyer Neptun, and then worked on upgrading and refitting boats throughout Italy, France, Monaco and Spain.

In 2013 he moved to the Unites States, signing for an engineering position at the shipyard. A few years after, he launched Rendevous Yachts – which has quickly developed a reputation for transparency, integrity, stability and excellence and continues to expand its operations worldwide.
