Royal Huisman occupies a singular position in the world of Dutch shipbuilding, defined by its "Royal" warrant and a legacy that stretches back to 1884. While many yards have shifted toward series production, this Vollenhove-based builder remains committed to the art of the blank sheet. Every yacht that leaves their sheds is a unique masterpiece, reflecting the personal ambitions of owners who value engineering depth and maritime heritage in equal measure.

The yard’s reputation is built on technical authority, particularly in the realm of high-performance aluminum construction and complex sailing rigs. Their facilities in Vollenhove and Amsterdam are centers of innovation where traditional craftsmanship meets advanced aerospace technology. From record-breaking schooners to the world’s largest sportfishing yachts, the builder consistently tackles projects that other yards might consider impossible, all while maintaining a disciplined focus on reliability.

For those who view yachting as an ultimate expression of freedom, Royal Huisman provides a highly collaborative journey. Their process is supported by dedicated internal divisions like Rondal and Huisfit, ensuring that every detail, from the carbon rigging to the final interior joinery, meets a singular standard of quality. Owners come here not just for a yacht, but to join a century-long tradition of Dutch excellence that preserves value for generations.
