In the world of luxury yachting, where opulence knows no bounds and innovation reigns supreme, one shipyard stands out for its unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible: Royal Huisman. With a motto that boldly declares “we have the confidence and capability to build any yacht for you,” this Dutch shipyard has earned a reputation as a leader in the industry, consistently delivering record-breaking vessels to discerning owners around the globe.
The latest testament to Royal Huisman’s ingenuity and expertise is Project 411, internally known as Noir – a majestic sailing yacht poised to shatter records and redefine luxury on the open seas. At an impressive 93 meters (305 feet) in length, Noir will boast a sloop rig that towers above the competition, securing its place as the tallest sailing yacht in its class. Surpassing the current record holder by a significant margin of 4 meters (14 feet), Noir is set to make waves in the yachting world like never before.
True to its name, Noir will exude an air of sophistication and elegance, with an all-black hull and superstructure complemented by matching black windows. Designed in collaboration with the owner, whose vision was inspired by “the pleasure of sailing with loved ones and closest friends,” Noir represents the ultimate expression of personal freedom and luxury at sea. With meticulous attention to detail and unparalleled craftsmanship, Royal Huisman is bringing this vision to life, ensuring that every aspect of Noir reflects the owner’s discerning taste and uncompromising standards.
But Noir isn’t just about style – it’s also a powerhouse of performance and innovation. Constructed from lightweight aluminum, Noir will deliver impressive speed, agility, and handling, making it a true force to be reckoned with on the water. Designed for seamless entertaining, the yacht will feature expansive outdoor living spaces on the flying bridge, providing the perfect backdrop for unforgettable gatherings and celebrations.
Behind the scenes, Noir will be equipped with cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art amenities, including electric drives for auxiliary power and a sophisticated sailing system courtesy of Rondal. The interior, meticulously crafted by renowned design firm GCA Architects, will blend luxurious finishes with natural materials to create a relaxed yet sumptuous atmosphere that’s sure to impress even the most discerning guests.
As construction of Noir progresses, Royal Huisman remains tight-lipped about the owner’s identity and the yacht’s delivery timeline, opting to let the vessel speak for itself. However, one thing is certain: when Noir finally takes to the seas, it will be a sight to behold – a symbol of excellence, innovation, and the boundless possibilities of luxury yachting.
In a world where records are made to be broken, Royal Huisman continues to set the standard for excellence, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and redefining the art of luxury yachting one masterpiece at a time. With Noir, the world’s tallest sailing yacht, the journey to new heights has only just begun.
