Royal Huisman Antares Sailboats for Sale

The Royal Huisman Antares represents a pinnacle of custom yacht building, merging the naval architecture of Dixon Yacht Design with the interior craftsmanship of Rhoades Young Design. Launched in 2005 as hull number 379, this 40meter (131foot) Alustar aluminum ketch was engineered to provide a platform for global circumnavigation with a specific focus on comfort, autonomy, and the ability to be handled by a professional crew of five. As documented by Royal Huisman, the vessel was commissioned by an experienced owner seeking a "home away from home" capable of reaching the most remote corners of the globe. Her distinctive profile is defined by a lowprofile deckhouse and a powerful ketch rig, which offers a versatile sail plan suitable for a wide range of wind conditions. While Antares is a unique custom build, her engineering shares DNA with other highlatitude explorers from the shipyard, prioritizing mechanical redundancy and thermal insulation.
