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…

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).

From the team of Royal Huisman: Season’s Greetings and our best wishes for 2025.
ROYAL HUISMAN – THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF PERSONAL FREEDOM
#royalhuisman #since1884 #seasonsgreetings #2025 #bespoke
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.

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.

Nearly 94 years after her launch, Atlantide has reawakened fully renewed. HUISFIT by Royal Huisman: refit, rebuild, renew. We believe 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.
Restoration of classics and rebuilds of historical yachts. Huisfit has an established track record of success with such projects. Although rebuild projects by Huisfit are never a “typical refit”, the scope of such projects is widely regarded as a newbuild, both by those involved at the shipyard and by outside observers.
Thanks to the owners of historical rebuild projects, these yachts will not become forgotten history. Could HUISFIT be the smart choice for your project too? huisfit.com or meet the team at METSTRADE 2024 in Amsterdam, 19 - 21 November, stand 09.105

You know Royal Huisman for its reputation built upon hundreds highest quality sailing yachts. Being able to handle the complexities of lightweight construction while assuring the strength needed to cross oceans is taking this 140-year Dutch shipyard on a new tack – bespoke motoryachts by Royal Huisman.
In 2021 and again in 2024, Royal Huisman delivered groundbreaking aluminum motoryachts that other builders said could not be built. That kind of challenge has always been in the shipyard’s wheelhouse.
The spectacular Special One, a record-breaking 171ft sportfish yacht is the largest of its kind in the world and capable of 30+ knots. The individual construction challenge of this Royal Huisman project was well outside the comfort zone of many other yards.

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. When the 47m / 156ft sloop Hyperion was delivered by Royal Huisman in 1998, she was one of the most famous yachts in the world and possibly the most technologically advanced sailing yacht of her era,
Hyperion represented a milestone in yachting history. Her groundbreaking computer systems are complimented by a classic mahogany interior and exceptional sailing performance. See the full video? royalhuisman.com/hyperion
