Royal Huisman presents SKY, a rare opportunity for a visionary owner: a pedigree 81 meter / 264 feet sloop crowned by the world’s tallest mast. Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design (MMYD) developed the ambitious naval architecture and the contemporary, head-turning exterior styling. Winch Design created the elegant and inspiring interior of this super-sized sailing yacht. 

The carbon rig by Rondal will have an air draft of 93 meters / 305 feet, which equals the towering height of the Statue of Liberty from ground to torch. 

SKY is created for world cruising with strong sailing performance. Her long waterline, lift keel, full aluminum construction with optimized weight distribution, combined with a powerful Rondal rig, will make SKY a true XXL superyacht. She sails faster than the wind and faster than a similar length motoryacht. At the helm, the controls, integrated sailing system and twin carbon composite rudders will provide the maneuverability and simplicity of a performance sailing yacht under 50m / 164ft. 

The flybridge and various seating areas enable the versatility of both open-air living, superb visibility and protection from the sun. Owner and guests will experience a close connection to the water due to the aft beach deck with extendible swim platform, full-beam mid lazarette with folding platforms either side and cockpit with folding bulwarks.

The interior, which is inspired by nature, accommodates ten to twelve owners and guests. SKY’s interior styling will be an architectural sanctuary at sea, featuring clean, sculptural lines, natural textures and calm palettes refined with subtle luxury detailing. Blurring boundaries between inside and out, evoking coastal landscapes but through an elevated, architectural lens. 

The spacious owner’s full-beam stateroom gives direct access to the super large aft beach deck. It is already possible to imagine the floods of daylight which will enter the suite through the various extra-large hull windows. Onboard amenities and various distinguishing features for owners and guests include a midship wellness spa and a watersports center. 

SKY is resolved in design, naval architecture and engineering. Challenges have been identified, addressed and solved. And most importantly, the majority of production engineering is done. This groundwork saves significant development time and creates a unique opportunity for an owner who decides to proceed. The layout and style can be personalized, while still saving significant development time to the delivery of a bespoke and unique supersized sailing yacht made at Royal Huisman in Vollenhove, The Netherlands: home to the world’s finest superyachts.
