Built for eminent Taiwanese businessman, philanthropist, and owner of the first Sea Eagle, Dr. Samuel Yin, this enormous vessel is Royal Huisman’s largest vessel yet. The serial yacht collector took the yard’s mantra “If you can dream it, we can build it” quite literally. The epic three braced schooner eclipses the original Sea Eagle by more than 120 feet. It also brags a further 800 GT in volume than its predecessor.
The sporting exterior lines by Dykstra Naval Architects, Sea Eagle II features a striking monochrome palette that is softened by the golden brown wooden deck.
Mark Whitely Design—which also worked on the exteriors—gave the yacht’s lofty 1,150 GT interior a tasteful and contemporary feel. There’s space for up to 12 guests across six staterooms and one VIP suite, plus accommodation for13 crew. In addition to an expansive formal dining room and lounge, there’s also a large alfresco dining area and sundeck to soak up the rays. But the real pièce de résistance is the hydraulic crow’s nest, which raises the mainmast to afford breathtaking ocean views.
Sea Eagle II will be stocked with all the requisite water toys, including two tenders, water scooters, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards.
