The 61-metre superyacht Asia has now been delivered to her owner, having departed from Royal Hakvoort's shipyard in Vlissingen, the Netherlands today (18 May).
Previously known as Project Asia, she was successfully launched from the shipyard's facilities in Monnickendam at the start of the year.
"Klaas Hakvoort and his brother Albert were a joy to deal with. They were involved every step of the way and this yacht would not be what she is without them," said the owner.
The owner also added: "Sean Moran and his father Robert’s meticulous attention to detail, engineering, design and construction has resulted in a vessel that my wife and I have dreamed about. I have worked with Robert for over thirty years and I would never dream of buying, selling or building a boat without him."
Designed inside and out by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, the 61-metre was sold by Moran Yacht & Ship in 2019 and began construction shortly after. She is the seventh new build Hakvoort project sold and overseen by the broker.
Originally known as Hull YN 253, Asia features accommodation for a total of 12 guests, including a master cabin on a private deck, with a stateroom, two bathrooms, a study and skylounge.
The rest of the guest accommodation comprises a full beam VIP suite on the main deck, alongside the lounge and formal dining area. Four additional double cabins sit on the lower deck, alongside crew quarters that comprise eight en suite cabins. A swimming pool, bar and sunpads sit on the sundeck, while the wheelhouse and gym are found on the upper deck.
Two large tenders can be stored in the garage on the main deck at port and starboard. The lower deck aft includes a massage room and Hammam.
According to BOATPro, Royal Hakvoort has two other yachts currently under construction, including a 45-metre superyacht designed by Hoek Design Naval Architects.
