In an era of mass production and throw-away values, Royal Huisman is a shipyard that is determined to hold the torch for the finest custom engineering and craftsmanship. Its mission is to create exceptional individual yachts for individuals with exceptional vision and discriminating standards. The shipyard was established in 1884. The award of the “Royal” warrant in 1984 gave recognition to 100 years of quality and excellence – a highly prized accolade and one that is earned neither rapidly nor easily. This long heritage of Dutch maritime engineering has invested the shipyard with a culture of perfectionism that applies itself as much to leading-edge technologies as it does to traditional practices.
