Athos wins prestigious “Best refitted yacht” award at the World Superyacht Awards 2023. The team of Huisfit - Royal Huisman’s dedicated refit division - is very happy and excited with this important recognition. Warm congratulations to the owner of Athos, his team and all involved.

The 62m / 203ft classic schooner was converted – outside and inside – and optimized at her birthplace in Amsterdam. Learn more?huisfit.com/news

The 56m / 184ft world cruising ketch Aquarius is ‘close to perfect’: her owners simply want a larger yacht – and even more impressive performance. It is a great compliment when owners value the experience of their yacht so highly that the only material change they want is to build a larger version, with exactly the same team.
.
Yet that is the story behind the decision of the experienced husband and wife owners of the world cruising ketch Aquarius (Royal Huisman, 2018) to create a stunning new 65m / 212ft ‘big sister’, Aquarius II. Please find a Q&A with the owner’s project manager, Godfrey Cray, in the article “Aquarius II – answers and insights” at: royalhuisman.com/inhuis

Christening celebrations at Het Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam: Nilaya will be a blissful home on the sea.
.
The Dutch are a nation of seafarers whose culture has been profoundly shaped by the ocean over the past five centuries. They even invented yachting as a pastime and came up with the word jacht to describe a pleasure boat.
.
So it is hardly surprising that the country takes immense pride in institutions such as Het Scheepvaartmuseum (National Maritime Museum), which house extensive collections of maritime art and artefacts illustrating this bond with all things nautical.

A SPECIAL MOMENT: today’s hull turning of Royal Huisman project 408, Aquarius II.
.
Godfrey Cray is the owner’s project manager on his third Royal Huisman build after 58m / 190ft Ngoni, 56m / 184ft Aquarius and now 65m / 212ft Aquarius II. Inhuis asked for his responses to various questions because, while not all readers will see ‘a larger version of the same yacht’ as the most exciting story, we believe they will find much to interest them in these aspects of the project.

Wisp at the St. Barths Bucket Regatta 2023
.
More and more superyacht owners have come to recognize that the thrill of the regatta circuit coupled with the relaxed social ambiance they can enjoy ashore with fellow owners, guests and crew at a regatta makes the perfect complement to their ocean cruising itineraries.
.
Royal Huisman was an early supporter of the original Bucket regatta and has continued to support this event ever since. In 2014 Royal Huisman teamed up with regular supporters to acquire the Bucket Regattas and so to secure the relaxed, owner-focused culture of these special “industry supported” events for the long term.
.
In the spirit of the bucket we are all winners. Be safe and have fun! Curious to learn more? www.royalhuisman.com/stbarthsbucket

Farewell event - The launch of a yacht is a time of great pride for owner and shipyard alike: it is the beginning of a great adventure for the owner, family, friends and crew – and of the shipyard’s new role as a provider of services.
.
Today’s Royal Huisman is an extraordinary blend of twenty-first century technology and innovation, traditional craftsmanship and timeless values, yet in 1884 the original yard was established to build small wooden working boats.
.
Nearly 140 years later – and having been awarded the ‘Royal’ Warrant on its 100th anniversary – Royal Huisman builds awardwinning luxury custom yachts that remain to this day unrivalled in many ways. Discover and learn more? royalhuisman.com
