Silver Sponsors Royal Huisman, No Ordinary Shipyard and Paint Professionals Jotun

Silver sponsors Royal Huisman, sticklers for flawlessly executed custom superyachts, are currently involved with various new build and refit projects. At the moment taking centre stage is the Dubois designed 58m high performance, edgy and innovative sloop Ngoni. Following is a beautiful 56m classic ketch designed by Dykstra Naval Architects and a very elegant 65ft Sparkman and Stevens designed cutter rigged sloop. Also noteworthy on the new build front is the Royal Huisman 43 by Germán Frers. In a ready-to-go format she's available to meet a client's brief -no other yacht of these dimensions can be built today that so effectively brings together luxury, amenity and optimised accommodations.

Huisfit, the shipyard's refit, repair and renewal program, continues to impress through their recently delivered projects, such as the 70m Lürssen Skat, long-serving Superyacht Cup competitor Hyperion, the 40m Antares, and the converted 42m Samurai, (ex-Mari Cha IV). The 55m Vitters ketch Adèle is currently at the shipyard for a major Huisfit overhaul.

Almost every single year has seen a Royal Huisman-built beauty at full bore in the bay. Our 2007 edition saw no less than eight yachts which came from the acclaimed Dutch yard. Additionally they've brought forward a whole fleet of winners like the cutter rigged classic sloop Maria Cattiva, the multi award-winning 47m Hyperion, and the 34m Germán Frers designed performance sloop Unfurled, now re-named Spiip by her new owner.
