THE SHIPYARD 

HOME TO THE WORLD’S FINEST SUPERYACHT BUILDING

Royal Huisman employs a team of over 350 highly motivated and competent people, from skilled craftsmen to expert concept designers, with extraordinarily diverse experience and capabilities, working at facilities for custom builds in Vollenhove.

For some years now, the shipyard facilities have been extended to the Amsterdam region. This second location serves as an addition to the existing shipyard, with a focus on Huisfit projects.

STOPOVER IN AMSTERDAM

The Baltic, Norwegian Seas, and Scotland offer diverse deep-water ports and cruising grounds, rich in history, natural beauty, warm temperatures, steady winds, and long daylight hours. Amsterdam is ideal for a summer cruise stopover, especially with Huisfit support. The facilities provide an integrated refit-and-cruise plan for this maritime magnificence. More information, examples as well as introductory cruising options can be found at huisfit.com [link opens a new tab].

THE PERFECT COMBINATION

Taking delivery of a custom superyacht and sailing to your dream destinations is immensely fulfilling. The building process can be equally enjoyable with the right shipyard and purpose-built superyacht construction and refit facilities. Both locations, near Schiphol Airport, offer picturesque surroundings. The Netherlands’ rich and diverse cultural attractions, along with an industry-leading superyacht shipyard, make for a perfect combination.

EXCELLENCE

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima represent a blend of royal tradition and modernity. They succeeded Queen Beatrix in 2013, who granted the “Royal” title to Huisman shipyard in 1984, recognizing 100 years of excellence — a tradition that continues today.
