Royal Huisman was founded by Jan Huisman and began operations in 1884 as a manufacturer of small wooden boats and yachts for leisure and fishing. Consistent demand led to the company's growth and expansion of its product range.

Seventy years later, under the leadership of Wolter Huisman, the company shifted its focus to building racing sailing and motor yachts, while also transitioning to steel and aluminum as the primary materials for new models' hulls.

By the time of its 100th anniversary, the company was granted the title "Royal" by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, in recognition of its impeccable reputation.

Royal Huisman operates production facilities in Vollenhove, Netherlands, where its headquarters are also located, as well as in Emden, Germany, and Amsterdam. These facilities cover a total area of over 42,000 square meters and employ more than 350 skilled specialists.

The Royal Huisman fleet consists of premium sailing and motor superyachts ranging from 30 to 81 meters, each with a unique design and style.

Currently under construction are:

• PROJECT 406: A 52-meter sportfisher set to become the world's largest yacht for fishing.
• PROJECT 408: The 65-meter sailing ketch M/Y AQUARIUS II.
• PROJECT 410: The 85-meter sloop M/Y NEW WORLD.
