Royal Huisman is proud to announce its latest commission Project 412, a super-sized sailing yacht for a returning owner.

Upon delivery, she will rank among the largest yachts ever built by the shipyard, reaffirming Royal Huisman's leadership in the creation of next generation XXL true-sailing superyachts.

While specific details about her appearance remain confidential, it is confirmed that Project 412 exceeds 80 meters / 262 feet in length and features a sleek, full-aluminum construction. Designed to deliver a truly authentic sailing experience for world circumnavigation, the yacht will be equipped with a state-of-the-art carbon rig supplied by Rondal, showcasing the latest in performance, sail-handling comfort, and innovation.

Project 412 exemplifies Royal Huisman's enduring commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and a true performance sailing experience. She will join the elite ranks of the world's largest sailing yachts, all either built by or currently under construction at Royal Huisman's renowned shipyards in The Netherlands.

Jan Timmerman, CEO of Royal Huisman, shares his enthusiasm: "We are honored to embark on this new super-sized sailing yacht project for a returning owner. Every yacht we create, reflects the depth of experience and dedication we have cultivated over the past 140 years. Project 412 is no exception. With her impressive scale and advanced design, it promises a true sailing experience while offering a distinctive and sustainable alternative to large powerboats."
