Superyacht TWIZZLE was loaded onto a barge and shipped to the deep waters of Harlingen on the north coast of The Netherlands, using the local canal network (nciknamed Huisman’s ‘berthing canal’ by the yacht’s owner) and the waters of the Ijsselmeer inland sea before passing into the North Sea port of Harlingen, having passed through the locks of the North Sea Dyke.
It was in Harlingen, on the 12th July, that the 57.5m sailing was officially given her name by the owner’s daughter, witnessed by around 150 guests, including the CEO of the Royal Huisman Shipyard, Alice Huisman, naval architect Ed Dubois, Justin Redman, a principal of the design house Redman Whiteley Dixon, and Emily Todhunter of Todhunter Earle Associates who designed the megayachts’ interior. Charter sailing yacht TWIZZLE had her Mizzen and Main masts stepped the same day.

Sailing yacht Twizzle officially named
Sailing yacht Twizzle’s name ‘Twizzle’ came from a TV puppet from the 1950’s and she is the result of the Owners’ vision of a high performance, high tech sailing yacht with the genuine long range cruising capability as mixed with the comfort and luxury of a large motor yacht.
