Year after year, headlines are dominated by the launch of yet another large superyacht. In refreshingly wonderful news, the world is soon going to get its largest sloop. Dutch builder Royal Huisman’s 280-footer, Project 410, was unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026, with delivery scheduled for November of this year. It is currently undergoing finishing touches at Royal Huisman’s newbuild facility in Vollenhove. Come November, the vessel will make her way to the yard’s deepwater location near Amsterdam. A true sailor’s yacht, she will rank among the top 10 in the world with a 1,310 GT volume, teak decking, an aluminum hull, and aluminium superstructure.
The futuristic-looking vessel features exterior design and naval architecture by Frers Design, with interiors by Wetzels Brown. While nearly all details are sheathed in secrecy, it is known that Project 410 includes two decks and a compact deckhouse. Renderings revealed the action taking place indoors in the main living area beneath the deckhouse.
Project 410 will welcome guests aboard through a double-height entrance that leads to the main saloon, while aft, a veranda opens directly to the beach club. There is ample seating for over 15 people aft, with the owner’s suite located forward as a private sanctuary. The hull also boasts large windows, perhaps to maintain the connection with the surrounding sea and welcome natural light to brighten the interiors with warmth.
The Dutch yard is only a few weeks away from making history with its largest sloop, flaunting a towering Rondal carbon mast and matching boom. The project will also highlight Royal Huisman’s Tidal Shift sustainability programme, incorporating energy regeneration while sailing, large-capacity battery storage, and silent operating capability.
Jan Willem Naeyé, CEO of Royal Huisman, adds: “Project 410 represents an extraordinary combination of vision, scale, and innovation. The ambition was never simply to build the world’s largest sloop, but to create a stunning sailing yacht that remains true to the pleasure and performance of sailing. Seeing her now approaching completion makes us immensely proud. She is an exceptional team achievement.”
