World boating day

Where waters merge and worlds connect…

World Boating Day was created to open up the world of boating to a broader audience, not just as an industry, but as a space of innovation, passion, and connection to the water.

The team of Royal Huisman hosted the Kidsday: a unique behind-the-scenes experience for the children and grandchildren of colleagues.

A few days earlier, international yachting and non-yachting journalists were welcomed as part of a special journey through the Dutch yachting scene, hosted by seven world-renowned Dutch shipyards. Discover their special experience in Vollenhove: home to the world’s finest superyacht building:
