From the late 1960s until the early 1980s the Huisman yard was close to the epicentre of an increasingly active and competitive ocean racing scene, building more than 100 custom race boats from Admiral’s Cuppers, through an OSTAR (Single-Handed Trans-Atlantic Race) entry and Ton classes, to full-blown Maxis.
.
The names of the yachts built at Huisman – Pinta, Saudade, Sabina, Prospect of Whitby, Noryema, Gitana, Revolution, Winsome, Spirit of Delft, Helisara and Flyer to name a few – were as famous in their time as Wild Oats, Alinghi, Comanche in the modern era.
.
Founded in 1884 Royal Huisman has evolved from “local builder of wooden workboats” to being the multiple award-winning creator of some of the finest superyachts in the world.

SEA EAGLE II is a true sailor’s yacht: practical, powerful, safe and easily managed. This 81m / 266ft contemporary schooner is currently the world’s largest aluminum sailing yacht.
.
Royal Huisman Project 410, the revolutionary 85m / 250ft New World Sloop will take over this title on delivery. Nearly 60 years of aluminum yacht-building experience have provided the shipyard with a level of expertise in constructing hulls of this material that few shipyards can match.
.
This is especially true for sailing yachts of this size. The advantages are equally large: lightness, acceleration, strength and fuel-efficiency being just a few characteristics of a true sailing yacht versus a heavy, sail-assisted motor yacht.

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.

The contemporary flybridge schooner, SEA EAGLE II, is a true sailing yacht.
.
This 81m / 266ft beauty immediately earned her place alongside the shipyard’s Athena in the elite club of the world’s 10 largest sailing yachts. Delivered in 2020 under the shadow of the pandemic, SEA EAGLE II’s arrival on the superyacht scene was inevitably low-key.
.
Following her extensive world exploration, and with over 45,000 nm under her keel, Royal Huisman is pleased to set matters right and place this magnificent schooner in the spotlight she deserves. Curious? Find the announcement ‘The sea eagle soars’ at royalhuisman.com/news

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.

Royal Huisman project 406 – a magnificent 52m / 171ft six-deck, true sportfish superyacht, is set to become the world’s largest. Most observers have seen the ‘rods’ that project from either side of sport fishing boats but are less clear how they are used. In fact these are not rods, but outriggers.
.
Also, many yachties will be familiar with the excitement of landing a large ocean-going fish when on passage. The ‘what have we got?’ moment when the rod tip bends and line is dragged off the reel, the intake of breath as the fish breaks the surface to reveal its type and size, the tense thrill as it is carefully manoeuvred aboard (or the anti-climax as it breaks away!) and, finally, the anticipation of the wonders the chef will create tonight with the sea’s finest fresh offering.
.
For sportfishing enthusiasts, the emotions are similar – only much, much more passionate! Learn more about ‘The theatre of the ocean’ and Project 406 at royalhuisman.com/inhuis

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

Pedigree yachts during previous editions of the St. Barths Bucket Regatta: Aquarius, Hanuman, Elfje and Twizzle. Sailing a Royal Huisman yacht is an experience like no other, whether you’re the one delighting in its finish and comfort at an idyllic anchorage or the one at the wheel – benefitting from its performance, handling and balance in demanding conditions.
.
Small but important details of design and construction reveal themselves over time and affirm value of engineering that is inherent in every yacht built in Vollenhove, The Netherlands: home to the world’s finest superyacht building.
.
Some yachts are developed with the strong desire for fast passages and podium places. Royal Huisman is no stranger to delivering the lightest, most luxurious and reliable yachts, with fast and efficient sail handling systems to suit the individual owner’s brief. Regatta results and sea-kindly ocean cruises – proving time and time again that you can, “have your cake and eat it”.
