At 42 metres in length, the Marquis will stand out from the rest in the very best way. With three expansive decks to explore, you’ll feel spoilt for choice with the many relaxation areas perfectly positioned for you to enjoy the very best of the superyacht life. Comfort onboard is paramount, which is why tinted glass bulwarks have been fitted on the aft decks to not only provide you with complete privacy, but also protection from the wind without obstructing your outlook. A well-designed floorplan allows for the crew routes across each deck for increased privacy and quick access to each deck.

The master suite, has an open plan lounge and study, and includes a full bath and shower. Gym, sauna, relaxation zone ... the choice is entirely up to you! 

The Marquis comes with space for two tenders. A crew tender and a larger guest tender. But if the warm breeze and sunshine is more for you, the plunge pool, positioned on the sun deck, is the best spot to enjoy the 360° panorama.

Vripack Yacht Design and Royal Huisman unveiled the world’s first true sportfish superyacht, Project 406. Sportfishing success requires passion, experience, and know-how as well as sophisticated onboard facilities and equipment. At 52m/171ft, the Project 406 will be brilliantly equipped to explore the fascinating seascape. It has the true proportions and long flaring bow of a typical American sportfish boat paired with the harmonious feel of a luxurious superyacht.

Vripack Yacht Design is responsible for the exterior and interior design and naval architecture of this highly prestigious project, in close collaboration with Royal Huisman – considered to be the one of the few shipyards capable of the engineering such a superyacht. A unique vessel that effortlessly blends the ultimate sports fishing experience with comfort and refinement. Where else might you find a sky lounge that offers the extraordinary “theatre” of spectacular fish catches by day and the relaxed ambience and stunning outlook of a boutique hotel penthouse by night?
