Royal Huisman is principally known as a builder of fine custom yachts, but the same standards of expertise and craftsmanship are equally accessible for superyacht refits. Every yacht requires a refit and refurbishment from time to time. Even Royal Huisman yachts eventually feel the strain of the extensive global passage-making so thoroughly enjoyed by their owners. Huisfit by Royal Huisman offers an extensive range of benefits and services to all superyachts in the global fleet.
Huisfit has enjoyed growing success since extending its reach to the wider superyacht fleet. Huisfit offers everything from classification-driven refit and maintenance work to the re-arrangement and refurbishment of superyacht interiors. In recent years Huisfit has proven to be a specialist for various yacht conversions, rebuilds and green solutions.
The Huisfit team recognises that every refit comes with a unique set of requirements, relevant infrastructure, access to specialist trade skills and equipment, and suitable slots to respect the yacht’s schedule: expertise à la carte. All projects are able to benefit from the comprehensive and highly regarded in-house design engineering capability of Royal Huisman and sister company Rondal.

Repeat clients and returning yachts
Repeat clients and returning yachtsRates are competitive, and appreciative owners, captains and project managers report that the experience is everything they would have expected from Huisfit by Royal Huisman.
Many Huisfit commissions are undertaken for repeat clients and returning yachts initiated by word of mouth recommendations, always based on the team’s understanding that today’s client is tomorrow’s ambassador.
For all superyachts in the global fleet
The shipyard facility in Amsterdam is an excellent choice for a short stopover (and can be combined with support, if needed). Huisfit has already proven itself to various superyachts built by shipyards like Feadship, Lürssen, Abeking & Rasmussen, Pendennis, Heesen, Vitters, Claasen, Southern Wind, Holland Jachtbouw. In addition numerous Royal Huisman-built yachts have benefitted from the services at Huisfit.
Gaetano Cafaro, captain of Hevea: “Returning from Stockholm, we decided to spend the winter at the Huisfit facilities. I would definitely recommend Huisfit to anyone in need of serious assistance and refitting works. Thanks again to the team for the excellent work they have done.”
The classic Vitters ketch Adèle will return in 2026. Taco Zwarts of TZ Technical Support on behalf of the owner’s team: “Returning for a third refit was the logical choice: twice proven, consistently high quality, and a partner we trust. The last refits met the standard our client expects, so we’re very positive about taking the next step together.”
