|Royal Huisman | 65M | "Aquarius II"/Project 408 | 2024 |

One of the latest builds at this yard is the 65-meter "Aquarius II". Perhaps it is being built for the owner of the 2018-built sailing yacht "Aquarius". The aluminium and superstructures are expected to start build in earnest this summer. We do not know the timeline for this vessel. The design is a collaborative effort between Dykstra Naval Architects and interiors from Mark Whiteley Design. The last Aquarius build was 56-meters with an internal volume worth 298 GT. The new vessel is to be 65-meters and feature a carbon rig with sail-handling work by Rondal.

Here is a look at the previous "Aquarius" which was always heavily involved in racing regatas.
