DISCOVER
For discerning individuals with a dream to realize, Royal Huisman gives expression to their dream, by creating a yacht that is unique in conception, quality and execution, celebrating the Spirit of Individuality.
THE SHIPYARD
Royal Huisman employs a team of nearly 300 highly motivated and skilled people, from skilled craftsmen to expert concept designers, with extraordinarily diverse experience and capabilities, working in Vollenhove at a custom-build shipyard on a premises of more than 30,000sqm. The shipyard facilities are extended to the Amsterdam region. This second location serves as an addition to the existing shipyard both for newbuilds and for Huisfit projects.
OUR HERITAGE
THE PATH TO PERFECTION
Founded in 1884 Royal Huisman has evolved from ‘local builder of wooden workboats’ to the multiple award-winning creator of some of the finest superyachts in the world. A journey through hard times as well as good: here is a brief overview…
INNOVATION
The family-operated Huisman yard built all kinds of wooden workboats when it was founded in 1884. Fit for purpose and value for money. But in the 135 years since, another aspect to boat-building gained importance: innovation. Some innovations were relatively small-scale; others were industry-trendsetters…
AT YOUR SERVICE
Owners welcome the reassurance that the Royal Huisman team believes firmly in standing behind its work, providing expert advice, service and support worldwide, twenty-four hours a day, not only throughout the warranty period but far into the future.
STAYING HUISFIT
Every yacht requires refitting and refurbishment from time to time. Huisfit, Royal Huisman’s dedicated refit department, offers everything from cosmetic repairs to hull and interior modifications, as well as machinery, systems and rig overhauls, the updating of electronics, and more. Including the necessary in-house design to support these services. A Huisfit-refit carries with it the assurance of a “better than new” result.
AT A GLANCE
With two main shipyards – Amsterdam and Vollenhove – and various flexible locations at its disposal, Huisfit can accommodate any motor or sailing yacht, classic or modern, 24m / 78ft or 100+m / 330+ft. Both state-of-the-art locations have clean, modern workspaces with stores and workshops and also offer high quality office facilities and personal amenities.
