Royal Hakvoort to Build 70.1m Superyacht: Landmark Order
Royal Hakvoort has signed a construction contract for a 70.1-metre superyacht, designated Project YN258. This commission represents the largest build in the shipyard’s history by both length and gross tonnage and marks a notable step beyond the yard’s typical delivery scope. Work will begin immediately at the Monnickendam facility in the Netherlands, with delivery scheduled for 2029.
The project will be executed by an all‑Dutch team: Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design is responsible for the styling and exterior/interior design, while Diana Yacht Design provides the naval architecture. The sale was brokered by 26 North Yachts and Arrow Monaco will act as the owner’s project manager. Royal Hakvoort, a family-owned yard founded by Albert Kizn Hakvoort in 1919 and based in historic Monnickendam, has a track record of delivering custom motor and sailing yachts up to 65 m and will apply that experience to this larger project.
Project YN258 Details: Design, Capacity, Timeline, Features
Project YN258 will measure 70.1 m overall with an 11.6 m beam and a gross tonnage of 1,513. Accommodation is planned for up to 14 guests across seven cabins, including two owners’ suites: one on the bridge deck and a full owners’ deck occupying an entire level. Crew accommodation will support 20 staff and includes a mess hall, a dedicated gym and technical spaces arranged to support accessibility and extended passages.
The vessel’s layout emphasizes a balance between indoor and outdoor living and is reported to include a touch-and-go helipad, a sports court and a swimming pool. With construction under way and a 2029 delivery target, the build will test and extend Royal Hakvoort’s capabilities; the yard will leverage its century-old experience and the appointed design and management partners to complete this landmark superyacht.
