Award-winning Royal Huisman sail yachtTWIZZLEon display at the recent Singapore Yacht Show 2013. She hopes to garner interest in the South East Asia yacht charter business.
The 57 meter Dutch-built luxury sailing charter vessel presents a unique itinerary. She is the latest example of the superyachts venturing off the traditional Mediterranean-Caribbean, “Milk Run.“
Royal Huisman’s commercial manager is Evert van Dishoeck. Evert commented:
The sailing superyacht market is a niche market, but we have had a lot of interest here at the (Singapore) show. It was a great opportunity to be able to display a unique yacht such as TWIZZLE…(she) truly combines the best of both worlds – the excitement of sailing, combined with the space, luxury and all amenities of a large motor yacht.”
“In Asia, there is a saying ‘every long march starts with a first step.’“
