Royal Hakvoort's latest masterpiece, the 61-metre-long superyacht Asia, is currently undergoing sea trials in the North Sea. The yacht, once known as the "Asian" project, was elegantly launched earlier this year at the Royal Hakvoort shipyard in Monikendam, the Netherlands.
The exterior and interior of the yacht were designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and commissioned by an owner who is passionate about the ultimate experience. He was looking for a harmony of style and function, and this yacht undoubtedly exemplifies this philosophy perfectly. The yacht was sold in 2019 by brokerage Moran Yacht & Ship and construction began shortly after. She is the seventh greenfield Hakvoort project sold and supervised by the brokerage firm.
Asia has been designed with careful consideration for the balance of indoor and outdoor spaces. 6 spacious cabins can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, and the full-width master suite is located on a private deck. The deck features an airbridge lounge with bar, panoramic views from the main cabin, dual ensuite, private den and rear open-air seating and dining area for 16 people.
In addition, the yacht features a full-width VIP suite on the main deck, adjacent to a lounge and formal dining area, providing an exclusive and intimate dining experience for distinguished guests. On the lower deck, there are four additional double cabins, next to which are the crew cabins, which are made up of 8 en-suite cabins, ensuring the daily operation and maintenance of the yacht. The sundeck features a swimming pool, bar and sunpads, while the wheelhouse and gym are located on the upper deck, providing guests with a variety of leisure options.
Two large annexes will be stored in the garages on the main deck on the port and starboard sides. On the aft lower deck, there are massage rooms, bathrooms and a spacious beach club, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the ocean scenery at the same time.
Royal Hakvoort has two other yachts currently under construction, continuing the family-owned shipyard's dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The shipyard also recently signed a contract for a 45-metre superyacht designed by Hoek Design Naval Architects, further cementing its leading position in the superyacht sector.
