FOFTEIN - ROYAL HUISMAN

FOFTEIN – A full hybrid sailing yacht of timeless elegance

The Royal Huisman 30m FOFTEIN represents a rare fusion of classic yacht craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. A forward-thinking upgrade carried out by Huisfit, the renowned refit division of Royal Huisman, introduced a state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion system coupled with advanced lithium-ion battery banks. The result? Emission-free cruising, energy regeneration under sail, and 24-hour silent hotel operation without a generator—setting a new benchmark for sustainability at sea.

This transformation delivers more than just technological prowess. FOFTEIN now offers true autonomy, capable of cruising in near silence for 5–6 hours at approximately 6 knots. Her systems operate seamlessly and efficiently, ensuring a peaceful onboard experience that aligns with the most rigorous environmental standards—without compromising performance or comfort.

Launched in 1999 by the legendary Royal Huisman shipyard, this 30-meter aluminium sloop was designed by the renownedGermán Frers, with exterior and interior styling by Pieter Beeldsnijder. From her powerful sailing lines to her warm, refined interiors, every detail showcases the meticulous craftsmanship and design perfection for which Royal Huisman is celebrated.

Originally commissioned by a marine photographer and passionate global explorer, FOFTEIN was built with a purpose: to combine world-class sailing performance with understated luxury and ocean-going resilience. Over her lifetime, and under the care of just two owners, she has been lovingly maintained and continuously upgraded—preserving her heritage while embracing the future.

FOFTEIN is not only an heirloom and a masterpiece of yacht building but also a pioneer in sustainable exploration. She is purpose-built for long-range, efficient bluewater cruising—ready to cross oceans or anchor in secluded coves with minimal impact. Her rare blend of timeless elegance, technical innovation, and environmental conscience makes her an extraordinary vessel for those seeking both adventure and responsibility on the water.
