Today’s Royal Huisman is an extraordinary blend of twenty-first century technology and innovation, traditional craftsmanship and timeless values. Yet in 1884 the original Huisman yard was established to build small wooden working boats. Nearly 140 years later – and having been awarded the ‘Royal’ Warrant on its 100th anniversary – Royal Huisman builds awardwinning bespoke custom yachts that remain to this day unrivalled in many ways.
