Project 406, world's largest sportsfisher, ready to make a splash
It's been a few years in the making, but Project 406 is ready to take to the waterProject 406, the six-level, 52.0-metre gamefishing motor yacht being built by Royal Huisman, is finally ready to hit the water.
The Dutch shipbuilder has released a fresh set of images of the as-yet-unnamed luxury motor yacht – Project 406 is the build number – showing it being transported from the yard at Vollenhove where it has been built, to Amsterdam where it will officially be launched.
Royal Huisman says Project 406 is the “largest, but also the most luxurious and individual true sportsfish yacht in the world”.
“Project 406 is designed for an experienced owner who is passionate about fishing. She is a unique vessel in so many respects,” it said in a release accompanying the images.
“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 specialised fishing.
“Apart from its practical function, the tower also offers a superb viewing platform for guests who can follow all the action below.
“Project 406 effortlessly blends the ultimate sports fishing experience with genuine superyacht scale, comfort and refinement,” it said.
Project 406 is built from high-grade Alustar marine aluminium, and was designed by Vripack Yacht Design, the group behind boats such as Project Thunderball, a custom 70.0-metre superyacht, and Futura, a long and low 66.0-metre superyacht featuring a glass cocoon for a bridge deck.
No date has been set for the official launch of Project 406.
