    Just came across this trailer for a new series.

    It's something I've thought of before when watching "American Chopper", "Deadliest Catch" and such on Discovery Channel. And now they did it...
    A reality show about (Dutch) superyacht construction.

    Or is this a fake trailer for a series that will never come?

    Hi,

    It will be good if it is a real series albeit a little dated already.

    Not sure who did the series research though, I would say that the biggest are built some way to the North East of Holland in Germany.

    Hi,

    It may have been earlier than that, the 92m yacht they show docking in the trailer is EOS.

    She was finished and in Norway this last summer when she caught fire, she is back there now but suts alongside outside.

    ICON itself is just a shell, there are very few if any permanent employees left and the upcoming workbook looks ominously empty
