Royal Huisman’s Project 406 was scheduled to leave the shipyard’s new-build facilities in Vollenhove, the Netherlands, in November for installation of her upper deck, sun awning hardtop and radar mast. The Alustar® aluminum vessel is the world’s largest true sportfish yacht, with her towering profile accommodating six decks and her powerful hull measuring 52m/171ft overall. She is fitted out without compromise for both high end sportfishing and luxurious living.

Project 406 is unique in many respects. Interior and exterior design and naval architecture come courtesy of the Vripack Yacht Design Studio. Her design is distinctive with a long bow and high bulwarks sweeping through a clear sheer to a low and uncluttered cockpit aft. The high tower offers outstanding views with a downward angle on the water for specialized fishing. Apart from its practical function, the tower also offers a superb viewing platform for guests, who can follow all the action below.

Not only is she the largest but, without doubt, the most bespoke, finely appointed, meticulously engineered and most impressive true sportfish yacht anywhere in the world—with all the amenities expected of a superyacht. Royal Huisman is viewed to be the only shipyard in the world capable of delivering such an individual and bespoke motoryacht project.
