1999 Royal Huisman Cutter rigged sloop for Sale – 30 mt – Balearic Islands, Spain

FOFTEIN — Stewardship of a Royal Huisman Legacy

FOFTEIN is far more than a proven bluewater yacht: she is a Royal Huisman to be entrusted rather than simply owned. Originally commissioned by a passionate global explorer and experienced sailor, she was built to deliver world-class sailing performance, understated luxury and true ocean-going capability.

Launched in 1999 by the legendary Royal Huisman shipyard, this 30m aluminium sloop was designed by Germán Frers, with exterior and interior styling by Pieter Beeldsnijder. Like the finest collector cars or haute horlogerie pieces, FOFTEIN belongs to a category of craftsmanship and rarity that is increasingly difficult — and extraordinarily costly — to replicate today.

 One of her most distinctive features is the private aft owner’s cockpit, offering a rare sense of privacy and ownership on board. It creates a dedicated owner’s domain, distinct from guest areas, and can also be transformed into a fully enclosed sleeping area with mosquito nets. The result is a uniquely intimate space that brings the owner closer to the sea and the surrounding nature.
Under the care of just two owners, FOFTEIN has been lovingly maintained and continuously upgraded throughout her life, including an extensive refit of exceptional scope. Beautifully preserved and ready to sail away with her next custodian, she reflects a rare continuity of care and attention.

Her state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion and energy system is a discreet enhancement that brings greater silence, comfort and efficiency to life on board, ensuring a quiet and effortless cruising experience under way, without changing her identity as a timeless, capable and highly individual Royal Huisman.

The moment one steps on board, FOFTEIN reveals her exceptional craftsmanship, enduring value and stewardship appeal, with a quiet authority, unmistakable presence and refinement that immediately distinguish her from other superyachts.

KEY FEATURES:

·       Highest pedigree — designed by Germán Frers, styled by Pieter Beeldsnijder and built by Royal Huisman, arguably the world’s most respected shipyard.

• Timeless Style & Modern Soul — a rare synthesis of classic elegance and advanced technology

• Exceptional private aft owner’s cockpit — a rare and highly desirable layout feature

• Proven Global Cruiser — built for long-distance sailing and ocean-going reliability

• Pristine, turn-key condition — after two extensive refits

• Hybrid propulsion and energy system — enhanced silence, comfort and efficiency

• Eco-compliant & future-ready — suited to navigation in zero-emission protected zones such as the Norwegian Fjords and Galápagos

The interior of FOFTEIN is the work of Pieter Beeldsnijder, thoughtfully designed to evoke timeless elegance, warmth,

and seafaring comfort. Cherry wood panelling predominates throughout, with classic joinery and refined detailing that

nod to traditional yacht craftsmanship while creating a comfortable, lived-in ambiance.

Access between spaces is practical: from the central sociable cockpit, one enters the deckhouse, while an aft cockpit

leads down steps directly into the master suite, offering the owner enhanced privacy.

The luminous deck saloon, offering a 360-degree panoramic view, is a coveted design feature that enhances both

comfort and connection to the surrounding seascape. Its elevated position improves visibility while underway and

transforms the space into a peaceful retreat while at anchor. Comfortable built-in seating, a polished dining table, and

rich wood accents create an inviting and warm atmosphere for all guests. The main navigation station is seamlessly

integrated and features state-of-the-art equipment with touch-screen controls for all onboard systems.

Located aft and slightly below the saloon, the galley is fully equipped with modern, high-end appliances and includes

a dedicated pantry offering generous storage for extended cruising.

A corridor leads to the aft master suite, which includes a comfortable seating and work corner, two large twin berths,

and an en suite bathroom. The dedicated companionway connects to the private aft cockpit, which can be

transformed into a sheltered lounging area.

Two guest cabins, located forward of the deck saloon, typically feature twin berths and their own en suite bathrooms.

Crew quarters are located separately in the forward section of the yacht, housing up to four crew in two cabins. This

area also includes a crew mess, a small galley and a bathroom and benefits from a dedicated entrance from the deck,

ensuring efficient and discreet service.

CUSTOMISED STEERING AND PROPULSION

FOFTEIN is equipped with a suite of advanced, integrated steering and propulsion systems designed to deliver

exceptional control, precision, and manoeuvrability.

DP Light – Simplified Dynamic Positioning: The vessel has a DP Light system, which connects the bow thruster and the

autopilot. This system helps the boat automatically stay in one position and keep its direction. It is very useful

when anchoring, moving slowly, or waiting to dock. DP Light makes these tasks easier and safer, especially in calm to

moderate conditions.

Combi Rudder and Bow Thruster Joystick: the Combi Joystick lets you control both the rudder and the bow

thruster with one hand. This makes precise manoeuvring easy in tight spaces and wide turns possible during docking.

Manoeuvring Mode – Variable Pitch, Fixed RPM: In Manoeuvring Mode, the engine speed stays the same, and

the propeller blades change their angle to control the boat’s movement. This gives fast response when switching

between forward and reverse, smooth and precise control at low speeds or while docking, better handling in tight

marina spaces.

REFIT OVERVIEW

The extensive transformation of FOFTEIN reflects a bold vision: to preserve the elegance and pedigree of a classic

sailing yacht while reimagining her systems for a cleaner, quieter, and more autonomous future.

Over the course of two major refits at Royal Huisman Shipyard, every decision was guided by a philosophy of

sustainable innovation without compromise. The goal was not simply to modernize—but to optimize: to reduce

energy consumption, increase efficiency, and enhance self-sufficiency, all while preserving the comfort, reliability, and

timeless sailing experience expected of a yacht in this class.

This meticulous upgrade journey has resulted in a vessel that blends cutting-edge hybrid technology with world-class

craftsmanship, offering a new standard in performance, silence, and control—whether at sea, under sail, or anchored

in remote waters.

FOFTEIN has undergone two major refits at the prestigious Royal Huisman Shipyard:

First Refit (2019–2021):

The initial transformation focused on converting the propulsion system from conventional to hybrid.

• New custom built genset, based on a Volvo Penta D3, 1 YASA motor and a Parker hydraulic pump.

• New main engine Volvo Penta D8 with a YASA shaft generator.

• Converted to silent and dry exhaust on the Main engine and the generator.

• New ZF 360A gearbox with PTO/PTI for shaft generation, hydraulic pressure from the M.E. and electric

propulsion.

• Hybrid conversion, with a high voltage 700VDC bus and a 100KWH lithium battery bank.

• New 31KW Aradex bow thruster.

• All new Aradex converters and chargers connected to the hybrid system.

• New hydraulic unit for the steering system, rudder angle indicator,

• Steering system power supply.

• All B&G sailing and navigation equipment renewed.

• New autopilot.

• Re-painted the superstructure and the bulwark.

• New Mar-IX Inside Air-conditioning and heating system

• New appliances: such as the dishwasher, dryer, wine cooler, ice cube machine, stove, freezer compressor,

fridge drawers, and microwave

Second Refit (2021–2024): Following a season of sailing, a faulty valve led to water ingress strictly limited to the

engine room, reaching up to the floorboard level. Combined with positive operational insights from the first hybrid

season, this led to a second, more comprehensive refit.

• Doubled battery capacity to 200 kWh for increased endurance

• New Danfoss converters installed

• Additional YASA motor added to the genset for higher charging capacity

• Heat recovery systems added to both main engine and genset

• Advanced hybrid control system installed for improved power management

• Vessel now capable of full-electric operation for up to 3 hours at 7 knots

• Generator operation is near-silent when active

• Multiple propulsion modes selectable from the cockpit:

- Electric-only

- Diesel-electric (electric motor + generator)

- Conventional diesel (Volvo Penta D8 driving the propeller directly)

• Optimized power management system:

- All generators programmable in automatic mode, based on battery state-of-charge

- Shaft generator and electric motor provide power and battery charging during diesel operation

- Main engine can operate in generator mode
