Bart M. Bouwhuis, Co-Creative Director at Vripack, describes the Special One as a sportfisher on steroids, combining the proportions of an American sportfish boat with the luxurious feel of a yacht on a grand scale. This custom sportfishing yacht is sure to redefine the concept of a big offshore fishing boat.
The world’s largest sport fishing yacht, Special One (Project 406), designed by Vripack Yacht Design and built by Royal Husiman, is now undergoing sea trials in the North Sea. The photos of the Special One underway show its aluminum hull and superstructure, hinting at smooth and efficient passages to the fishing grounds. With its long flaring bow and super chic curves, this yacht promises to offer a unique and impressive fishing experience.
At 171 feet long, this custom sportfishing yacht is sure to redefine the concept of a big offshore fishing boat. While many sportfishing yachts are part of a larger fleet connected to a superyacht “mothership,” the Special One may pave the way for a new trend of owners seeking a serious offshore sportfishing boat that also serves as a luxurious superyacht. Only time will tell if this yacht sets a new standard for sportfishing yachts in the industry.
