What is the vessel's port of registry? Is it in The Netherlands? She should go to the consulate of the yacht's registered country and ask the consular staff to contact the maritime registry or the department of transportation to verify the info. The office of the commercial attaché might be of help too.
Seldom is a 50 meter yacht registered in The Netherlands, usually Barbados or other countries are used for taxation purposes. If that is the case, the process mentioned above might take longer. The 'owner' might not be listed personally; a firm just created for this purpose would be holding the yacht's title. It would be quite difficult to obtain any information since the company would be private.
Finally, because your girlfriend does not have a visa, she could be taken into custody for one day by the border police and sent back home the following day. A merchant marine credential might be an exception to her case, but if she is denied entry, it would be much harder for her to get a visa in the future. This would affect all the Schengen entries in Europe as their computers are linked. Remember, a non-official document is just supplementary info for official matters. I hope this was somewhat helpful.
