FOFTEIN

FOFTEIN — Stewardship of a Royal Huisman legacy

FOFTEIN is far more than a proven bluewater yacht: she is a Royal Huisman to be entrusted rather than simply owned. Originally commissioned by a passionate global explorer and experienced sailor, she was built to deliver world-class sailing performance, understated luxury and true ocean-going capability.

Launched in 1999 by the legendary Royal Huisman shipyard, this 30m aluminium sloop was designed by Germán Frers, with exterior and interior styling by Pieter Beeldsnijder. Like the finest collector cars or haute horlogerie pieces, FOFTEIN belongs to a category of craftsmanship and rarity that is increasingly difficult — and extraordinarily costly — to replicate today.

One of her most distinctive features is the private aft owner’s cockpit, offering a rare sense of privacy and ownership on board. It creates a dedicated owner’s domain, distinct from guest areas, and can also be transformed into a fully enclosed sleeping area with mosquito nets. The result is a uniquely intimate space that brings the owner closer to the sea and the surrounding nature.

Under the care of just two owners, FOFTEIN has been lovingly maintained and continuously upgraded throughout her life, including an extensive refit of exceptional scope. Beautifully preserved and ready to sail away with her next custodian, she reflects a rare continuity of care and attention.

Her state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion and energy system is a discreet enhancement that brings greater silence, comfort and efficiency to life on board, ensuring a quiet and effortless cruising experience under way, without changing her identity as a timeless, capable and highly individual Royal Huisman.

The moment one steps on board, FOFTEIN reveals her exceptional craftsmanship, enduring value and stewardship appeal, with a quiet authority, unmistakable presence and refinement that immediately distinguish her from other superyachts.
