ROYAL HUISMAN - THE SPIRIT OF INDIVIDUALITY

.

Most superyachts from the Royal Huisman fleet are for private use only and are enjoyed ‘to the max’ by their owners, families and friends – who sail them throughout the years on stunning locations all over the world. Only very few of these pedigree yachts are occasionally available for charter and an equally small number come up looking for a new owner.

.

Yet, chartering is popular among those who may wish to experience sailing aboard a Royal Huisman yacht, simply to enjoy the charter or perhaps as a first step towards owning a superyacht. Others are actively seeking a Royal Huisman pedigree yacht to acquire, and have an interest in a particular yacht.

.

For example, the 47m / 156ft cutter rigged sloop Hyperion is available for sale and charter. The creatvity of Frers Design and Pieter Beeldsnijder has been translated into a working reality at Royal Huisman (1998). Her build owner Dr. Jim Clark said: “…probably the only shipyard in the world that could have put together such a complex and diverse set of engineering disciplines”

As a service to our clients, present and future, Royal Huisman is always pleased to provide interested parties with details of the yachts’ selling party or charter agent.

.

The entry list for the 2022 edition of upcoming St. Barths Bucket Regatta (17 to 20 March) contains thirty yachts: Hyperion will be one of the seven unique Royal Huisman yachts participating.

“Retrofitting the current fleet was a major topic at the 14th edition of the annual ‘La Belle Classe Superyachts Business Symposium’ hosted last Wednesday by the Yacht Club de Monaco and Credit Suisse”, explains Boat International. “Hybrid and electric-powered new-builds are helping the industry reduce its environmental impact, but the focus of this symposium was on how the ageing superyacht fleet can be adapted for the future.

.

With the average yacht now 23 years old, and many coastal regions incorporating new restrictions on diesel-powered vessels, older yachts now need to be refitted in order to be sustainable. Royal Huisman’s Huisfit is leading the way by retrofitting older yachts like Foftein, first delivered in 1999 and Juliet, first delivered in 1993, has had a hybrid engine fitted to reduce her emissions.”

IT’S JUST BLACK AND WHITE - 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 yachts are deemed unique in conception, quality and execution. Yachts that are rare, beyond compare.

Stunning Kamaxitha “with a bone in her teeth” at the St. Barths Bucket Regatta. 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.

.

The current entry list for the 2022 edition of upcoming St. Barths Bucket Regatta (17 to 20 March) contains 30 yachts. The 55m / 182ft spirit of tradition ketch Kamaxitha will be one of the seven unique Royal Huisman yachts participating. More information about this timeless classic yacht can be found at www.RoyalHuisman.com/Kamaxitha

.

Royal Huisman was an early supporter of the original Nantucket Bucket regatta and has continued to support the Bucket Regattas in Newport and St Barth’s ever since. Some years ago 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.

Out of sight, but not out of mind: Elfje’s furlers do more than just lower the tack fitting. Joint “First in Class” at the St. Barths Bucket Regatta following her 2014 delivery by Royal Huisman.

.

The owner’s aesthetic was always focused on Beauty. Drawing on the timeless appeal and seaworthy lines of a traditional pilot cutter, the owner wanted a yacht on which you could feel close to the water with minimal deck clutter to break up the sightlines or interfere with hands-on sailing. This meant keeping the freeboards and deckhouses as low as possible, which in turn required pushing the boundaries to optimise the available space below deck.

.

Conceptually speaking, the NextGEN Ketch Elfje is a project defined by performance in the widest sense. In spite of her classic design references her modern Alustar lightweight aluminium construction was coupled with a highly sophisticated process to integrate systems architecture in order that the owner’s objectives in terms of innovation, sustainability and energy efficiency could be met without compromise.

ATLANTIDE’S REBUILD IN FULL PROGRESS - The restoration of the 37m / 122ft classic motorsailer is in full progress since her arrival earlier this year. The scope of the project has turned into a full rebuild and, in Royal Huisman’s work schedule, has been allocated the same status as a newbuild project. Read more at page 10 and 11 of the spring edition of “inhuis” at www.royalhuisman.com/inhuis

Royal Huisman’s Huisfit team has an established track record of success with the restoration of classics, and with conversions and rebuilds of historical yachts: structural work, upgrades and conservation work are all embarked on with keen interest and great skill.

.

Rebuild and conversion projects by Huisfit are never a “typical refit”, and the scope of such projects is often as comprehensive as a newbuild – perfectly suited for a team equally at home in both areas of expertise. Learn more: www.huisfit.com

Current article in Superyacht Times about the recently redelivery of Wisp: “in turnkey condition following refit by Royal Huisman's Huisfit team.”

.

The representative of the Owner, MCM’s Nigel Ingram commented, “Following this refit-project by the Huisfit team, Wisp is again ‘perfect’ and ‘as new’. The full scope of work was executed – in spite of Covid-19 restrictions – as planned and delivered within the agreed budget. In summary, a well-prepared and executed refit so her owner can enjoy being onboard again soon!”

.

Her captain, Richard Humphreys added, “It felt a bit like coming home as it is the same core of workers and the advantage of that is that they know the boat well. We’ve also made some new friends and the staff genuinely care about the level of service that they provide. The Royal Huisman culture is coming through well at their Amsterdam facility. It would be my pleasure to recommend Royal Huisman, and depending on our schedule, Wisp may return in the future.” Read the full article at superyachttimes.com

AN EXCLUSIVE, VIRTUAL TOUR AROUND THE SHIPYARD… During times of restricted freedom of travelling it is a challenge for clients, captains and representatives to visit the facilities where Royal Huisman thoroughbreds are birthed, and to explore where Huisfit caters to the existing superyacht fleet.

WELL-ORGANISED, EFFICIENT AND CLEAN - Be prepared for an interesting “walk” – it’s quite a shipyard. Two locations – Vollenhove and Amsterdam – with purpose-built facilities spread over an area of respectively 30,000 m2 / 322.900 ft2 and 12,000 m2 / 129.200 ft2. Enjoy a tailor-made private digital viewing: your host can show you either all, or specific aspects, to provide a condensed overview, or to explore all facilities in great detail.

ROYAL HUISMAN - A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE SINCE 1884

Yachting Magazine USA, May 2021 cover: “NOT JUST A REFIT - A DESIGN EVOLUTION. The 1994 Feadship Rasselas is reborn as the newest yacht called Broadwater thanks to Royal Huisman’s Huisfit.”

.

“The owner wanted to breathe new life into the boat, but at the same time leave the original Feadship DNA intact—just make her more current and to have the features that one would expect of a superyacht today.”

.

The most dramatic changes are inside. […] Broadwater’s designer Adam Voorhees praises Huisfit’s interior project engineer, Ad Diepstraten, calling him “an interiors guru.” Voorhees adds that “he has a craftsman’s eye,” resulting in “a very easy conversation,” especially when the unexpected dictated a design pivot.

.

CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT - “It’s a big feather in their cap,” says Peter Wilson (MCM Newport) in reference to Royal Huisman. Best known for its sailing superyachts, the yard is actively pursuing power and sail refits, plus new-build motoryachts.
