Out to launch

The groundbreaking big fisher, Royal Huisman’s Project 406, is in transit from the shipyard’s inland new-build facilities in Vollenhove, gearing up for the anticipated final stage – her launch in Amsterdam.

The powerful hull of this unique vessel measures 52 metres (171 feet) overall, and her towering profile accommodates six decks. These remarkable features not only make her the largest but also the most luxurious and individual true sportfish yacht in the world, according to her designers.

Project 406 is designed for an experienced owner passionate about fishing, and she’s a unique vessel in so many respects. Vripack Yacht Design is responsible for the exterior and interior design and naval architecture of this highly prestigious project. Her design is extremely 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 specialised fishing. Apart from its practical function, the tower also offers a superb viewing platform for guests.
