FOFTEIN - ROYAL HUISMAN
Description
Built by the iconic Royal Huisman shipyard in 1999 and designed by Germán Frers, FOFTEIN is a 30-meter aluminium sloop that blends classic pedigree with modern innovation. Her refined interior and exterior, styled by Pieter Beeldsnijder, reflect timeless craftsmanship, offering a warm and sophisticated atmosphere throughout.
Commissioned by a passionate marine photographer, FOFTEIN was purpose-built for serious bluewater cruising, with proven global range including Arctic and Red Sea voyages. In 2020, she underwent a transformative hybrid propulsion and systems upgrade by Huisfit (Royal Huisman’s elite refit division), making her one of the first classic sailing yachts to cruise silently, regenerate energy under sail, and comply with the world’s most advanced environmental standards.
With only two owners since launch, she has been maintained to the highest standard and continuously upgraded. Today, FOFTEIN stands out as a rare opportunity: a vessel of exceptional capability, sustainable engineering, and enduring beauty.
