royal huisman sailboats for sale

IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, WE CAN BUILD IT

It has been our motto for many years, but remains as valid now as it was then. Royal Huisman has the confidence and capability to build any yacht for you – from classic to contemporary to cutting edge, from motor yacht to Bermudan rig to full-rigged schooner.

YACHTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Being entrusted by an owner to turn his or her dream into reality is a moment of great pride for Royal Huisman and its employees. It makes the shipyard’s team very aware that they have been asked to create something truly special – a yacht is a matter of the heart and not just a means of transportation.

DELIVERED YACHTS

The launch of a Royal Huisman custom yacht is always a moment of great pride, it is the beginning of a wonderful adventure for the owner, family, friends and crew. For the shipyard-team the same moment is however bittersweet, having to say farewell to a yacht which creation has been part of their daily lives, but at the same time knowing that the yacht is leaving to conquer the oceans.

The Royal Huisman team is never complacent about such success – they never forget that it only lasts until the next boat. Acknowledgements by independent expert juries help to provide an objective measure of achievement.

REGATTA SUCCESS

Some yachts are conceived 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”.

When the late Wolter Huisman was asked if the shipyard could build a certain type of yacht, his answer was immediate and very clear: „If you can dream it, we can build it“. Sometimes however, even dreams need a little inspiration.

YACHTS FOR SALE & CHARTER

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.

Royal Huisman Yachts for Sale

Royal Huisman epitomizes Dutch maritime craftsmanship with their custom luxury sailing and motor yachts. The shipyard was founded in 1884 by Jan Huisman and is still family-owned and operated. Early on, the yard built small wooden sailing and motor yachts, but in 1954 Royal Huisman switched its focus to steel, and aluminum yachts. With a focus on successful racing sailing yacht production and the custom superyacht market, Royal Huisman found a winning formula. Upon the shipyard’s 100th anniversary in 1984, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands gave Huisman the title “Royal”, and the firm was renamed, Royal Huisman. At this point, the yard was already established in the international racing circuit, building several honor-winning performance yachts such as SAUDADE, FLYER, and FLYER II. The yard builds and refits custom luxury sailing yachts and motor yachts at its shipyard in Vollenhove, Netherlands. Here they have Huisfit, which is the shipyard’s in-house refit and repair division that not only refits Huisman builds but also does builds such as Heesen, Lürssen, and Claasen.

NOTABLE ROYAL HUISMAN BUILDS

The largest Royal Huisman to date is the 266’ sailing yacht SEA EAGLE II. She is the world’s largest aluminum sailing yacht and is currently in the top 10 ranking of the world’s largest sailing yachts. Another notable build is the 260’ sailing yacht ATHENA, which was built in 2004. This triple-masted schooner was built by Jim Clarke, who at the time had a 155’ Huisman being built and decided that he wanted a larger Huisman as well. ATHENA can accommodate 12 guests and has many amenities that other sailing yachts did not at the time. This was a massive feat for the Royal Huisman and established the yard as a megayacht builder.

ROYAL HUISMAN TODAY

Today, Royal Huisman is working on Project 410, a massive 280’ megayacht that will be the world’s largest sloop, and Royal Huisman’s largest build. She will include a massive carbon mast, and a boom and integrated sailing system, which will be designed and produced by Royal Huisman’s sister company, Rondal. Project 410 will be a true sailor’s yacht, which will be ready to sail quickly and capable of sailing fast, in comfort, to make the most of that long waterline. She will be exciting to sail, even in light airs, with an impressive ability to build and increase apparent wind speed.  All in all, Project 410 will be a megayacht equipped to explore the world in a grand fashion. The project is also an eco-friendly one, with recyclability and green energy top of mind when building this yacht.

Another major focus is the Huisfit division, which is a dedicated division for refit, rebuild, and renewal. Huisfit offers an extensive range of benefits and services to all superyachts builds in the global fleet, which includes everything from classification-driven refit and maintenance work to the re-arrangement and refurbishment of interiors. With a dedication to their clients, services like Huisfit and the 24/7 service department can provide the service needed to make the user experience enjoyable in every phase of the yacht’s lifespan.

Finally, the builder has been investing substantially in research and development, creating Featherlight, which is their trademarked mix of aluminum and carbon composite. This will make the yard a formidable competition to existing carbon composite superyachts during regattas. Featherlight combines performance and comfort with no compromises. This type of innovation is in Royal Huisman’s DNA, as the yard strives to make their yachts as efficient as possible, whether it’s during a regatta, or exploring the seven seas.

History of Royal Huisman Yachts

Royal Huisman, a reputable Dutch superyacht builder, originated in the marine-rich region of Vollenhove, Holland in 1884. Shipwright Wolter Huisman commenced his career in establishing a small shipbuilding yard, tasked with manufacturing and repairing wooden fishing boats. With the advancement of technologies and shifts in market demands in the 20th century, Royal Huisman gradually pivoted towards building leisure crafts and yachts, thereby marking their place in the high-end sailing and motor-yacht industry. Notably, the company earned its 'Royal' prefix in 1984, as a mark of its centenary and remarkable contribution to the Dutch yachting industry.

In the early years, the initial projects of Royal Huisman revolved around custom sailing and motor yachts; fame truly reached them when they delivered the 47-foot sailing yacht, 'Flyer', which subsequently triumphed in the 1977-1978 Whitbread Round the World Race. Today, their portfolio spans an impressive range of aluminium and carbon composite superyachts, demonstrating their unrivalled expertise in blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technologies. It was under Wolter Huisman's son's (also named Wolter Huisman) guidance that the company rose to prominence, particularly amongst a clientele demanding uniqueness and top-end sailing performance.

Following the family tradition, Wolter Jr.'s daughter Alice Huisman continues to hold the helm of Royal Huisman, preserving the brand's heritage while steering it towards a promising future. Presently, the company operates from a sprawling 30,000sqm shipyard in Vollenhove, deploying its team of​ 280+ skilled employees dedicated to conceiving, designing, and crafting some of the world's most exceptional seafaring vessels. Royal Huisman's reputation for innovation, quality and reliability indeed reinforces the brand's mission statement - "If you can dream it, we can build it."

Dutch masterpieces - 8 Royal Huisman yachts for sale

The Huisman family's shipbuilding tradition dates back to 1884 when Jan Jans Huisman obtained official recognition as a shipwright and set up his yard at Ronduite in Holland. Between 1910 and 1940 over 500 vessels were launched, including around 50 fishing boats and 100 or so small pleasure sail boats, along with several motor cruisers.

His son, the legendary Wolter Huisman (1931-2004) joined the company at the age of 13. He had some ambitious ideas, which he honed during his years serving in the Dutch navy. One of Wolter's innovations was the introduction of construction in welded aluminium, with the later adoption of a special alloy called Alustar . In 1969 the yard moved to its current location at Vollenhove, on the banks of a canal where vessels with a draught of up to 3 metres could be launched. Running Tide , the first yacht built at Vollenhove, raced brilliantly until 1983. She returned to competition in 2004 as a vintage yacht, achieving equal success in many vintage regattas, winning the Malta-Syracuse 2004 and coming second in the Voiles du Vieux Port in Marseilles in 2009.

The yard has always called on the best designers and skippers, drawing on talent from around the world and the company's roster of clients has always included celebrity names like conductor Herbert von Karajan, who sailed in many races aboard He lisara, a nd the Rothschilds' 26 metre Gi tana VI. The early 1960s saw the launch of Huisman's subsidiary Rondal, a combination of 'Ronduite', the place where it began its operations, and 'aluminium'. In 1984 Queen Beatrice of the Netherlands granted Huisman the right to use the description 'Royal', reserved for companies that are especially important to the country.

Today, following launches of spectacular yachts like Athena and Twizzle , Royal Huisman occupies a special place among builders of sailing yachts, analogous to that of Feadship in the field of motor yacht builders.

Here we present eight very special yachts for sale from one of the world's premier yards.

Athena 2004 90m $95 million

At 90m and the fourth largest sailing yacht in the world, Athena represents four years of teamwork, combining the unique talents of Pieter Beeldsnijder for exterior and interior design with the naval architectural skills of Dykstra Naval Architcts . With these two talented legends and the shipyards' own group of dedicated craftspeople a 'dream team' was created and Athena will undoubtedly become part of yachting history.

For the interior Beeldsnijder selected a lightly stained mahogany to enrich an air of classic comfort. Appreciating that her sheer size could be overwhelming, Beeldsnijder cleverly divided accommodation and living areas into human size proportions thus creating a feeling of welcome and old world charm. Designing a reappearing scalloped corner detail Beeldsnijder fine-tuned these areas as he worked closely with Californian Rebecca Bradley, responsible for selecting soft furnishings and fabrics.

On deck her custom array of Rondal deck hardware is set against an expanse of varnished teak cabin tops and seating areas. Again Beeldsnijder elected to provide intimate proportions to these otherwise expansive areas while maintaining a high regard for Dijkstra's requirements for sail plan, deck layout and classically inspired design influences.

The three-mast schooner rig by Rondal provides some 2,500 square metres of sail power and is complete with in-mast furling for the topsails and in-boom furling for the carbon fibre gaffs. Some 55 Rondal captive and drum winches allow lightning fast tacks under full sail whilst sails can be set and stowed at the press of a button or two.

Using 'Alustar' plate mast construction the tallest of her three masts fits snugly, at low tide, through Panama's controlling bridge height of 62m. And to give a sense of scale to all this, a trip up one of her hydraulically operated crow's nests gives the adventuresome a bird's eye view over an expanse of teak decking as Athena displays herself a resurrection of the golden age of sail.

Gerard Dijkstra comments: '_Athena_, Jim Clark's latest Royal Huisman can sail and manoeuvre under sail in light airs. The detailed attention given to all aspects of this yacht's construction is incredible with her superb engineering, state-of-the-art sail-handling equipment and the highest quality finish of interior joinery, she combines the best in sail with the luxury and interior space only thought possible in motor yachts.'

Meteor 2007 51.59m 25 million

The 51.59 metre sailing yacht Meteor was launched in May 2007, to the delight of her owners who had set a demanding brief for the yard and for Dykstra Naval Architects in collaboration with John G Alden .

During her maiden voyage Meteor, who is now for sale , behaved outstandingly in the English Channel with winds averaging 35 to 40 knots and gusting up to 65 knots. At the 2007 Palma Superyacht Cup she was able to show her performance potential again. Her elegant flag-blue hull and white sail plan created a striking image as she sailed, close hauled, at an easy 15 knots.

For her design, the naval architects maintained the tradition of a full keel underbody to ensure a sea-kindly motion, complemented above the waterline by graceful sheer and a fine clipper bow and bowsprit. The tall schooner rig and sail plan are also traditional in appearance, but refer more to contemporary race technology with Rondal Carbon spars, carbon standing rigging by Southern Composites, high-performance sails from North Sails and a functional ergonomic deck layout.

The interior, created by John Munford , affords Meteor a gracious, comfortable ambiance. Swetania mahogany throughout the owners' and guests' accommodation provides a warm, nostalgic glow, complemented by elegant soft furnishings and a collection of artwork. In the main saloon, a beautifully crafted wood-fired fireplace is the centrepiece of the library. Aft of this area is the full-width master cabin and forward are two mirror-image guest cabins. Crew accommodation, also in fine finished mahogany, is generous with seven well-appointed cabins.

On deck, there are two beautifully varnished deckhouses finished in teak and connected by a large, twin-tabled cockpit. The main deckhouse provides a comfortable refuge with leather upholstered furniture arranged around a large table. In the aft port corner a cleverly concealed wet bar is situated, complete with sink, fridge and stowage.

Elsewhere on deck, numerous classic styling references can be found including unusually wide centre teak deck planks, harmoniously designed deck hardware and winches. Even the gaff-rigged carbon masts and booms were finished to support the aesthetic integrity of Meteor , thanks to the expertise and ingenuity of the yard's sister company Rondal.

Her broker, William Bishop, at Yachting Partners International , says, '_Meteor_ arrived in Palma in early June and is available for sea trials. A St Barth's Bucket winner, she also won an unprecedented three awards at the 2008 World Superyacht Awards.'

Cyclos III 1990 42.35m 3.5 million

Built in 1990, the 42.4 metre sailing yacht Cyclos III truly broke the mould of yacht building at the time.

Ron Holland, the exterior stylist, took up the challenge from the owner an experienced yachtsman to produce a yacht that was not only comfortable but sailed well. 'I want a yacht that has spectacular sailing performance. Downwind sailing is boring any yacht can do it. Sailing upwind is where the excitement truly lies,' the owner said. Below deck, he wanted a chic contemporary interior that had a minimalist feel to it without the use of wood that was so common on yachts at that time.

Cyclos III is for sale at Yachting Partners International where William Bishop comments, '_Cyclos III_ was undoubtedly the ground breaking yacht of her generation, and a ketch that truly set the benchmark in terms of performance and technology. She's currently located at the Royal Huisman shipyard, where she is ready for a comprehensive refit and she represents a rare opportunity to secure a yacht of outstanding pedigree.'

Hanuman 2009 42.1m $18 million

Following the 42.1 metre Hyperion in 1999 and the classic 90 metre schoon_er Athena_ in 2004, the yachts' owner reaffirmed his confidence in Royal Huisman engineering by placing a third, highly distinctive order with the yard, the 42.1 metre Hanuman , delivered in 2009

Dykstra Naval Architects  oversaw the build of her hull in Alustar, with spars and rig in carbon composite to create an outstanding J Class yacht. To further this ambition, Royal Huisman worked with the independent Carew Group, master sailmakers North Sails and spar makers Rondal to create the optimum mast and sail configuration as, in effect, a single wing unit.

Below decks, by contrast, interior designer Pieter Beeldsnijder drew upon fine traditional materials such as hand-polished French walnut and period design references to create all the warmth and ambiance of a bygone era, sensitively fused with the high amenity standards of a modern superyacht.

In a review of Hanuman , Boat International said, '_Hanuman_ is a masterful marriage of the best of the style and majesty of the 1930s J Class era with 21st century technology. The matte finished deck hardware resembles the galvanized metals of a bygone era, yet handles extreme loads with the push of a button.'

William Tai 1997 40.68m 9.99 million

Delivered in 1997 as Surama, the interior of William Tai is light with an open and modern styling incorporating the sweeping curves and bi-level sightlines we have come to expect from the drawing board of Andrew Winch .

Following a shakedown cruise to Norway in the early spring following her launch, this Ted Hood -designed 41 metre ketch encountered gale force winds on her approach to the Mediterranean before an extensive summer-long cruising programme.

A very happy owner reported excellent turns of speed and total satisfaction with a yacht that required his attending only six construction meetings. She returned to Holland for minor fine-tuning before setting out on a worldwide cruise, initially via Cuba, Florida, the Pacific and New Zealand.

Jonathan Syrett at Camper & Nicholsons has William Tai for sale and says, 'Upgraded extensively in 2009 and 2011 by the shipyard, she was conceived as a world cruiser and no expense or detail was spared in her creation. She offers an ideal layout with a centreboard allowing for shallow draught destinations and good performance in Superyacht Cup/Bucket type regattas. She boasts a huge owner's cabin with private cockpit access.'

Camelot 1985 37.5m $1,795,000

Built in aluminium in 1985, the 37.5 metre motor yacht Camelot sleeps 10 guests in five en suite cabins including a main deck owner's suite. Twin 1,050hp MTU engines give her a range of 2,150 nautical miles. Camelot underwent a $1.2 million refit in 2008/2009 which saw all her major equipment rebuilt.

Listed for sale at Bradford Marine Yacht Sales , her broker, Whit Kirtland says of Camelot , 'This timeless design is a proven world cruiser, ready to take her new owner anywhere around the world in safety, style and comfort. A rare opportunity to obtain a proven world cruiser of this pedigree, at an outstanding value.'

Diamond For Ever 1987 36.24m 8 million

Diamond For Ever is a 36.24 metre cutter-rigged sailing yacht launched in 1987 to a design by Ron Holland . Jon Bannenberg was responsible for her exterior styling and interior design accommodating six guests in three cabins and berths for five crew. She was last refitted in 2002.

'In the past 17 years,' says her central agent, Herbert Dahm at dahm international , 'Diamond For Ever has had only one owner, which has ensured her immaculate condition today, with periodic refits and technical upgrades. She is a proven seaworthy, safe and steady circumnavigator with ample open-air entertainment areas and luxurious accommodation.'

Cyclos II 1984 28.33m 1.95 million

Built in 1984 as a world cruiser to a design by Sparkman & Stephens , Cyclos II had an extensive refit in 2003. A refined interior by Pieter Beeldsnijder in blonde teak, high quality upholstery and fine fabrics accommodates up to six guests in three cabins.

With a range of 1,700 nautical miles at eight knots when under power, Cyclos II has proved her worth at cruising the world with minimal crew.

She is jointly listed for sale at Ocean Independence by Rainer Wilhelm and Marc Haendle who says, 'Cyclos II offers unparalleled versatility being a real offshore world cruising yacht. Through Arctic waters or to Polynesia, she will always be a safe and ultra-reliable yacht which can be operated with a small crew in all kinds of conditions.'
