Royal Huisman, Special One is ready to set sail

Royal Huisman proudly announces the successful delivery of milestone Project 406, "Special One." This extraordinary and bespoke motor yacht is set to depart from the shipyard in the Netherlands on her maiden voyage, marking a new milestone in superyacht building.

"Special One" is an exceptional Alustar aluminum motor yacht that represents, without compromise, the pinnacle of custom superyacht engineering and construction. She features six decks of the highest standards of luxury and comfort, combined with technological advancements and a performance to sail at 30+ knots during recent extensive testing and trials on the North Sea. Measuring 52m / 171ft, "Special One" is the world’s largest true sportfish yacht and a unique vessel in many respects. She is tailored to meet the specific brief of her experienced owner, who has a deep passion for sportfishing.

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 specialized fishing. Apart from its practical function, the tower also offers a superb viewing platform for guests, who can follow all the action below.
