Hartman Marine Group, an Urk-based maritime builder, is looking to attract clients for its two new ranges of “no-nonsense” yachts by promising “excellent value and substantial time savings”, it said in its announcement. The company has created a new brand for its leisure marine activities, Hartman Yachts, with the tagline “Explore in Confidence”.
Although Hartman Yachts will be offering fully-custom superyachts as an option for owners with specific requirements, it has marked its announcement with the release of designs for two semi-custom superyacht lines, ranging from 24 to 42 metres in length. The Livingstone and Amundsen lines offer two distinct types of yacht that would suit different kinds of cruising.
The first unit from the Livingstone range (pictured above and below) has been delivered to her owner. With the exterior hallmarks of a classic luxury yacht from the first half of the 20th century, the Livingstone also provides all the mod cons expected of a high-tech 21st century superyacht. It has been named after Scottish missionary and explorer Dr David Livingstone.
