The world’s largest true sportfish yacht, 52m SPECIAL ONE - The owner’s goal for this yacht – his first custom order – was for the ultimate luxury sportfishing yacht.
The owner is a passionate fisherman who loves spending family time on the water. Now that his son and grandsons were taking fishing holidays with him, he had outgrown his US-built Viking 92 sportfish.
While giving up nothing in terms of fishability or the speed at which he could access fishing grounds, he wanted to be able to accommodate the entire family on long expeditions, offering them a superyacht environment.
His goal was to entertain larger numbers of people in comfort, especially for time aboard while the fishermen are not actually reeling in their catch…

The world’s largest true sportfish yacht, 52m SPECIAL ONE by Royal Huisman. Some names need no introduction. To anyone who ever genuinely considered acquiring a luxury super yacht, hearing the name “Royal Huisman” as the builder of those finest and most distinctive yachts in the regatta or marina will be a familiar experience.
When admiring the build quality and attention to design detail on a particular yacht, the reply from her owner or crew “It’s a Royal Huisman!” is virtually regarded as self-explanatory. Royal Huisman sailing and motoryachts are deemed unique in conception, quality and execution. Award-winning superyachts that are rare, beyond compare.
Royal Huisman CEO Jan Timmerman: “Special One reflects the commitment of the Royal Huisman team to never say ‘no’ to innovative and challenging motoryacht projects, which are well outside the comfort zone of many other yards.”

Special One by Royal Huisman: special from every angle. Her list of superlatives is long, but to take it from the top, at 52 meters, she is the world’s largest true sportfisherman and powers out to fishing grounds at 30+ knots.
She’s also a superyacht in every sense of the word with five staterooms for the owner’s party, including two stretching full beam. Beautiful walnut joinery, exotic stonework, and bespoke furnishings dominate the interior.
She features a unique, three-person pneumatic glass-enclosed elevator, and showcases the first yacht installation of a commercial grade 3D sonar fish finder. Designed for multi-generational living, Special One has indoor social spaces on three decks including…

The teams onboard Royal Huisman’s Sea Eagle and Sassafras having fun at the Millenium Cup 2025. The shipyard is pleased to return as a supporter of this event at the beautiful New Zealand cruising grounds.

Sailing a Royal Huisman yacht is an experience like no other, and the ultimate expression of personal freedom. 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.

The team of Royal Huisman is pleased to return as a supporter of the New Zealand Millenium Cup, 1-4 February 2025. The team is looking forward to seeing Sea Eagle and Sassafras race and have fun in the beautiful cruising grounds.
Royal Huisman’s super-sized Sea Eagle is a true sailing yacht. 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. Also, this contemporary flybridge schooner is a fine, attractive, and sustainable alternative to large motor yachts.
As you might know four of the world’s largest sailing yachts have been built by or are in the current order book of Royal Huisman: Athena, Sea Eagle, and current newbuild projects 410 and 411. Curious? royalhuisman.com > yachts

“Converting the famous race boat Mari-Cha IV to a performance cruiser while preserving and honoring her history was a project that required an owner with a singular vision.”
The article about this Huisfit project by Boat International continues: "As Mari-Cha IV, the schooner’s sole purpose was to set speed and distance records over offshore courses with all sails handled manually. Delivered in 2003 to her former owner, she accomplished her goal with such feats as breaking the transatlantic record right out of the box.”
“But fame is fleeting; this former superstar was sold. [...] And then, from an unlikely corner — classic cars to be precise — came an interested party with a singular vision. The boat’s history needed to be preserved and honored..."

Contemporary flybridge schooner SEA EAGLE sailing in Sydney Harbour.
Her captain: “The conditions were ideal, with a gentle 10-15 knot sea breeze, SEA EAGLE effortlessly sailed at speeds of up to 15 knots at times, demonstrating its impressive handling and performance. The yacht’s elegance on the water was unmatched, drawing the attention of plenty of onlookers...”
She is a true sailor’s yacht: practical, powerful, safe and easily managed. The advantages of super-sized sailing yachts compared to heavy, sail-assisted motor yachts are equally large: lightness, acceleration, strength and fuel-efficiency. And more…

Thanks to the owners of historical rebuild projects, these yachts will not become forgotten history. Nearly 94 years after her launch, Atlantide has reawakened fully renewed. @huisfit by Royal Huisman believes superyachts are built to last a legend.
Following her rebuild at Huisfit Atlantide sailed away with 40 per cent of her hull, deck and frames replaced, her interior fully reimagined and every onboard system except her original Gardner diesels fully overhauled or replaced. See more of Atlantide’s rebuild? huisfit.com/news

Aquarius, nowadays Apsara, is a stunning yacht of rare beauty: attention to detail, in every detail.
It is a great compliment when owners value the experience of their 56m / 184ftyacht so highly that the only material change, they wanted to build a larger version with the exact team. A new stunning 65m / 212ft big sister is nearing completion: Aquarius (II).

Experience the experience onboard the modern classic 65m / 212ft Aquarius: small but important details of design and construction reveal themselves over time and affirm value of engineering that is inherent in every Royal Huisman yacht.
Sailing a Royal Huisman yacht is an experience like no other, and the ultimate expression of personal freedom. Whether you’re the one at the wheel – benefitting from its performance, handling and balance in demanding conditions – or the one delighting in its finish and comfort at an idyllic anchorage.
This performance ketch is the successor to the first Aquarius by Royal Huisman, delivered in 2018. The 56m / 184ft world-cruising ketch was deemed “close to perfect” by her experienced owners: a husband-and-wife team who simply wanted a larger yacht with even more impressive performance — the stunning new big sister, Aquarius.

Four of the world’s ten largest sailing yachts are either built by or under construction at Royal Huisman: Athena, Sea Eagle, Project 410 and 411. And a number of breathtaking concept designs such as APEX 850, LOTUS and the ground-breaking concept WING100 are also eager to contribute to this list.

ROYAL HUISMAN IS HYDROGEN READY - Royal Huisman has received Approval-in-Principle (AiP) from Lloyd’s Register at the start of METSTRADE 2024 for its innovative and unique concept for the application of hydrogen onboard sailing superyachts.
The shipyard’s inhouse innovation team has been working on the concept for a hydrogen powered fuel cell system specifically for sailing yachts, which consists of a number of high-pressure hydrogen bottles and a fuel cell of about 100 kW. The generated energy will be sufficient to power the onboard hotel load: quietly, sustainably and emission-free.
