Royal Huisman proudly announced the transfer of the modern classic Aquarius 65m / 212ft Aquarius, for all detailed repairs, conversions, refits, rigging, to extensive trials since her hull was delivered in March last year.
This high performance ketch is the successor to the first Aquarius from Royal Huisman, delivered in 2018. The 56m / 184ft was described as "near perfect" by her experienced owners a couple who simply wanted a bigger yacht with even more impressive performance.
It really is a great compliment when owners value their yacht so much that the only hardware change they want is a larger version, built by the exact same team. The team behind the two Aquarius yachts includes the owners' project manager Godfrey Cray, Dykstra Naval Architects, interior designer Mark Whiteley and superyacht shipyard Royal Huisman.
Retaining the elegance of its predecessor, Aquarius boasts a 45% increase in volume, with larger social and crew spaces, improved integrated sail handling systems and a lifting fin keel for optimal performance. The yacht combines timeless style with cutting-edge technology and exceptional craftsmanship.
A key element of this project is the application of lessons learned from the first Aquarius and other previous builds. Royal Huisman constantly pushes the boundaries in the field of innovation, while improving processes based on its extensive experience in the field of projects. For example, the yacht's lightweight Alustar® aluminum construction allows Aquarius to offer high performance sailing and superior comfort. The use of semi-hybrid propulsion reflects the focus on sustainability, allowing for greater energy efficiency and a reduced environmental footprint.
Following Aquarius’s transport to Amsterdam, she will be prepared for the final stages of the project: launch, stepping of the carbon Rondal masts and booms, a series of sea trials, and her delivery.
