Royal Huisman has earned a prestigious accolade: the 65-meter performance ketch Aquarius was named Sailing Yacht of the Year at the 2026 World Superyacht Awards in Venice. In addition, the yacht won the Sailing Yachts 40m and Larger category. The jury praised the refined design, advanced engineering, and exceptional sailing performance of the aluminum-hulled Aquarius. For O2 Capital Partners, this double honor underscores what Royal Huisman has stood for for 140 years: the combination of craftsmanship, innovation, and expertise at the highest level. We congratulate the entire team in Vollenhove on this outstanding achievement.
